Why hospitals must think "SaaS-first"

To build a more efficient, safe, and sustainable healthcare system, hospitals need to think differently about technology. The solutions of the future must scale with demand, not hinder it. That’s why modern healthcare must think SaaS-first.

This philosophy is at the core of the Deepinsight Platform: a modern and secure foundation built with observability at its center, ensuring that technology empowers care rather than becoming a barrier.


Hospitals are at a turning point

Increasing waiting lists, tighter budgets, and the need for better collaboration demand a new digital mindset. Yet, many hospital IT systems are still built on outdated principles, such as heavy installations, manual upgrades, and lengthy implementation projects before new functionality can be utilized.

To meet tomorrow’s challenges, healthcare must shift solutions that deliver speed, flexibility, and security from day one.


Technology that grows with the hospital

SaaS (Software as a Service) means that the hospital receives an IT system delivered as an online service — ready to use without installation or technical setup.

The provider ensures that the solution is always updated, secure, and available, so the hospital does not have to spend time on upgrades, fixes, or technical operation of the system. This also reduces the risk of errors, because the responsibility lies with the IT provider, who often has far greater resources and expertise in security.

For hospitals, this means fewer technical concerns and more stable day-to-day operations, allowing for more time focused on patients. Additionally, SaaS facilitates the introduction of new features, streamlines workflows, and enables rapid system adaptation as needs evolve.


A smarter way of working

With SaaS, the healthcare hospitals get a system that constantly evolves and improves. Data can flow securely and seamlessly between departments, hospitals, and regions, so everyone has access to the same up-to-date information. This enables faster information sharing, easier collaboration, and better-informed decisions.

Healthcare staff don’t have to wait for large, infrequent upgrades. Instead, they receive new features and improvements continuously, exactly when they are needed. This means the system can quickly adapt to daily workflows. The result is more efficient use of resources, greater predictability, and a workday that can more easily respond to changes—whether related to patient needs, new routines, or changes in service delivery.


A more resilient and sustainable healthcare system

Norwegian healthcare is built on trust, quality, and high professional standards. Now, it also needs agility. The SaaS model supports scalable and compliant solutions that evolve with new treatment methods, data-sharing requirements, and patient volumes.

– SaaS isn’t just about technology; it’s about creating a healthcare system that evolves in step with the needs. It brings speed, flexibility, and security to a sector that cannot afford to stand still, says Olav Willumsen Haugå, CEO of Deepinsight.

Hospitals have traditionally had limited access to modern cloud services, leaving them with few options. Today, more SaaS solutions on the market can meet healthcare needs. Hospitals now face a vital choice: stick with outdated systems or use solutions that learn, adapt, and grow over time. Thinking SaaS-first sets hospitals up for a smarter, more sustainable, and patient-focused healthcare system.
