New acquisition an “important step in Docaposte’s healthcare strategy”

Docaposte the digital subsidiary of the La Poste Group, has entered into exclusive negotiations with the shareholders of Maincare, a specialist in digital solutions for hospitals, in order to acquire it.

Healthcare’s digital transformation in France is facing multiple challenges: the development of a greater digital culture among healthcare providers, the increase in interoperability between software and the migration to cloud solutions improving the availability of health data, and the development of predictive diagnosis information for patients.

The synergies between the solutions developed by Docaposte and Maincare will help healthcare institutions improve patient care, contribute to improving the relationship between hospitals and healthcare professionals, and help achieve the objectives of the healthcare system’s digital transformation.This alliance will also strengthen Docaposte and Maincare’s ability to ensure the compliance, security and competence of hospital health data. By optimizing and securing healthcare data mining, the challenge is also to improve the use of healthcare data for more predictive diagnostical purposes and to develop decision support for healthcare professionals.
