Fundación IDIS

What Fundación IDIS does

Fundación IDIS (legal name: Fundación Instituto para el Desarrollo e Integración de la Sanidad) is a private non-profit foundation established on May 12, 2010, and headquartered at Calle Magallanes 34, Madrid. It functions as the institutional representative body of Spain's private healthcare sector, unifying hospital groups, health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology firms, and professional associations. Its primary constituents are the ~100 institutional members across five membership tiers (Patronos, Patrocinadores, Asociados, Colaboradores, and Patronos Libre Designación), with the eight Patronos — Adeslas, Quirón Salud, Sanitas, DKV, HM Hospitales, Asisa, MAPFRE, and Clínica Universidad de Navarra — constituting the core governance and funding base. The foundation is led by Director General Marta Villanueva and President Fernando Campos (DKV representative).

The foundation's product portfolio is structured around three pillars: research and reporting (annual Observatorio del Sector Sanitario Privado, RESA health outcomes indicators study, regional CCAA analyses, patient experience studies, barometers, and the Nexo IA Start AI integration report); data and digital infrastructure (the EU NextGenerationEU-funded Espacio de Datos de la Sanidad Privada (EDSP) data space for private healthcare interoperability, the miHC patient clinical history portability platform, and the InnovaIDIS innovation hub); and quality certification plus media engagement (the QH Quality Healthcare recognition system covering 222 organizations, the monthly Sanidad Privada digital magazine with 192 issues, iSanidad digital journal, and the Sanas Compañías and IDIálogoS video/podcast series). Underlying technology emphasizes data interoperability and AI-driven healthcare analytics for the Spanish private sector, with the Innovation Committee serving as a convening vehicle alongside technology partners such as GE HealthCare, Accenture, InterSystems, Tirea, and Boehringer Ingelheim. IDIS holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from Bureau Veritas (valid through June 2026).

The foundation's business model is non-commercial: it generates no product or service revenue from end users and instead finances operations through membership fees, patron contributions, and sponsorships from its institutional members, supplemented by public funding such as the EU NextGenerationEU grant supporting EDSP. It does not disclose financial figures. Distribution of research, publications, and event content is delivered through self-serve digital channels (the fundacionidis.com website, digital publications, newsletters, social channels including X and YouTube) and a calendar of events including the annual XXVIII Encuentro IDIS, QH award ceremonies, and Innovation Committee sessions. The foundation is governed by a Patronato (Board of Trustees) drawn from member organizations, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external capital raised.

Core offering

Fundación IDIS is a nonprofit foundation that promotes and represents Spain's private healthcare sector through sector research reports (Observatorio del Sector Sanitario Privado, RESA health outcomes study), data infrastructure projects (EDSP data space), quality certification programs (QH recognition), innovation platforms (InnovaIDIS, NEXO IA), and advocacy activities for public-private healthcare integration.

Product overview

Fundación IDIS operates as a healthcare foundation focused on representing and promoting the private healthcare sector in Spain. Rather than offering a unified software product, the foundation provides a portfolio of research publications, data platforms, quality certification programs, and media content. Key offerings include the annual Observatorio reports and RESA health indicators studies, the EDSP (Espacio de Datos de la Sanidad Privada) data interoperability platform, the QH quality recognition certification for healthcare centers, the InnovaIDIS innovation platform, digital publications (Publicación de Sanidad Privada and iSanidad), and multimedia content including the Sanas Compañías and IDIálogoS video podcasts. These services work together to advance private healthcare quality, interoperability, and public-private collaboration in Spain's health ecosystem.
