What ChipSoft does

ChipSoft B.V. is a Dutch healthcare-IT vendor founded in 1986 and headquartered in Amsterdam, with additional offices in Heerenveen, Hoogeveen (Netherlands), and Antwerp (Belgium). The company develops and sells HiX, a fully integrated, Microsoft-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform certified as an EU Class IIb medical device (CE marked under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC) and ISO 13485 certified. HiX is built entirely in-house around a single clinical data repository that supports the full continuum of care, including hospitals, independent treatment centers (ZBC), primary care, rehabilitation, VVT (nursing, residential, and home care), pharmacies, and mental healthcare (GGZ), with most clients reaching HIMSS Analytics Europe EMR Adoption Model Stage 6.

The HiX product portfolio includes the core EHR plus a broad module set: HiX PDMS (patient data management for ICU/CCU/NICU), HiX RIS (radiology), HiX Pharmacy, HiX CPOE, HiX Mobile (seven applications for different clinical roles), HiX Patient Portal, HiX Healthcare Provider Portal, HiX 365 (cloud deployment via Microsoft 365), HiX Digital Health Services (transmural interoperability), HiX Datawarehouse with Microsoft Fabric, and the CS-Rules clinical decision-support engine. Notable integrations include Epic (cross-vendor medical data exchange), Nuance Dragon Medical (speech), Microsoft Fabric (analytics), PACS (imaging), ZorgDomein (referrals), ION (GP registration), and PRN/Peridos (obstetric care chain). AI capabilities are primarily delivered through partnerships (Autoscriber for AI-assisted consultations, Periscope with Deventer Ziekenhuis, MedicX.AI) and rule-based clinical decision support.

ChipSoft operates a direct enterprise sales model with no disclosed channel partners, selling subscription, implementation, training, and ongoing support contracts to healthcare institutions. Its installed base covers approximately 80% of Dutch hospitals, with additional customers in Belgium and Aruba (Caribbean). The company is privately held, has not disclosed any external funding, and operates 251-500 employees. In April 2026, ChipSoft suffered a ransomware attack that resulted in patient data exfiltration from some Dutch clients and caused 11 hospitals to take HiX offline, an event now under investigation by Z-CERT, the Dutch healthcare cybersecurity response team.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Oracle Health (formerly Cerner): Oracle Health is a global acute-care EHR vendor competing in the same hospital EHR category as ChipSoft. Zuyderland migrated from Oracle (SAP) to HiX, illustrating direct head-to-head competition for large Dutch and European hospital contracts.
• Dedalus Group: Dedalus is one of Europe's largest healthcare IT vendors, offering EHR and regional care-record platforms across Italy, Germany, France, the UK, and beyond. It directly competes with ChipSoft for European hospital and regional interoperability tenders.
• Nexus AG: Nexus is a German-headquartered vendor of hospital information systems (NEXUS / HIS) serving hospitals across DACH and select EU markets. It is a directly comparable competitor to ChipSoft in the acute-care EHR segment, particularly in German-speaking markets.
• CompuGroup Medical (CGM): CGM provides EHR/HIS solutions for hospitals, GPs, and pharmacies across Europe, including Germany, Austria, and the Benelux. Its physician and hospital information systems overlap directly with ChipSoft's HiX HIS, primary care, and pharmacy modules.
• InterSystems (HealthShare / TrakCare): InterSystems provides the HealthShare interoperability platform and TrakCare EHR, widely deployed in European hospitals. HealthShare is a directly comparable HIE/interoperability product to ChipSoft's Digital Health Services, often competing in the same tenders.
• Epic Systems: Epic is the leading US-headquartered EHR vendor and the most direct competitor to ChipSoft in the acute-care hospital segment. ChipSoft already maintains interoperability with Epic, confirming it as a primary peer in the same EHR category serving hospitals and academic medical centers.

Emerging players

• athenahealth: athenahealth provides cloud-based EHR and revenue cycle solutions, primarily to US ambulatory and hospital clients. Its cloud-native EHR model is comparable to ChipSoft's HiX 365 trajectory, although its footprint in Europe remains limited.

Regional players

• Cambio (CSC Group): Cambio is a Nordic EHR vendor owned by the CSC Group, providing hospital information systems across Sweden, Denmark, and other Nordic countries. It is comparable to ChipSoft as a regional EHR specialist with strong public-sector roots, but operates in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Philips HealthSuite / Tasy: Philips offers Tasy EMR and a broader suite of clinical informatics, monitoring, and imaging solutions for hospitals worldwide. While much broader than ChipSoft, Philips is a relevant incumbent peer in Dutch and European hospital IT ecosystems.
• Agfa HealthCare (Gezondheidszorg / ORBIS): Agfa HealthCare provides enterprise imaging, EHR (ORBIS), and hospital IT solutions broadly across European healthcare. It overlaps with ChipSoft's HiX RIS/PACS and HIS modules as part of a wider healthcare IT portfolio rather than as a pure EHR specialist.
