Dedicatted earns AWS Healthcare Competency for Secure Health Data

Dedicatted, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Services Provider, has earned the AWS Healthcare Competency. The competency recognizes partners who have shown, through real customer projects, that they can build solutions on AWS that store, process, and analyze sensitive health data securely. For healthcare and life sciences organizations, it means working with a partner AWS has validated to modernize critical systems and put data and AI to work, without putting patient privacy at risk.

What is the AWS Healthcare Competency?

The AWS Healthcare Competency is an industry designation within the AWS Competency Program. AWS created the program to help customers find partners with proven, validated expertise in a specific industry or technical area, rather than relying on marketing claims.

Healthcare is one of the most demanding industries for cloud work. Systems hold some of the most sensitive data that exists, they support care decisions where mistakes have real consequences, and they sit under strict privacy laws. That’s why AWS sets a high bar for this competency: partners need to show they can build solutions that store, process, transmit, and analyze patient information securely, and that real healthcare customers have succeeded with them.

Healthcare Competency Partners work across six main areas:

• Clinical systems. The applications care teams rely on every day, such as electronic records, imaging, and care coordination tools. These need to be fast, always available, and tightly secured.
• Finance and operations. Revenue cycle, claims, scheduling, and administrative workflows, where automation can remove hours of manual work and reduce errors.
• Analytics, AI, and machine learning. Turning scattered clinical and operational data into insights, predictions, and AI-assisted workflows, without exposing patient information.
• Patient and clinician experience. Digital front doors, remote monitoring, and tools that reduce documentation load, so clinicians spend more time with patients.
• Medical research. Data platforms for life sciences and pharma teams that need to analyze large datasets securely and share them under strict controls.
• Core health IT. The infrastructure, networking, security, and backup everything else depends on.

Dedicatted has been validated across this framework, with customer work that put these controls into production.

What did AWS examine?

This isn’t a training certificate or a self-declared specialty. To award the competency, AWS reviewed:

• Our technical approach: how we design architectures for healthcare workloads, including security, access control, encryption, logging, and resilience.
• Real customer projects: healthcare and life sciences work we have already delivered on AWS, checked against AWS’s published healthcare criteria.
• Customer outcomes: evidence that those solutions are running in production and delivering results for the customers who use them.

What does it mean for you?

Healthcare leaders face a hard balance. They’re under pressure to modernize aging systems, make better use of their data, and adopt AI, while one data breach or compliance gap can cost them patient trust, regulatory penalties, and years of reputation. Working with an AWS Healthcare Competency partner changes that balance:

1. Patient data stays protected. Encryption, strict access control, and full audit trails are built in from day one. You always know who accessed what, and when.
2. Compliance is part of the design, not an afterthought. Privacy requirements shape the architecture up front, instead of being patched in the week before an audit. That saves rework, cost, and stress.
3. Your data becomes usable. Clinical, operational, and research data that sits in separate systems can be brought together for analytics and AI, inside your compliance boundary.
4. AI becomes realistic, not risky. Generative AI for documentation, patient communication, or research can be deployed with the controls healthcare needs, so pilots can move to production.
5. Your teams focus on care and discovery. Clinicians and researchers spend less time fighting slow or fragile systems, and IT teams spend less time on maintenance.
6. Lower risk in choosing a partner. AWS has already checked our healthcare work, so you skip a large part of the vetting and start from proven experience

Why does this matter in Canada?

Health information is one of the most tightly regulated types of data in Canada. Depending on where you operate and who you serve, your systems may need to meet:

• Provincial health information laws, such as Ontario’s PHIPA, which set rules for how custodians collect, use, and share personal health information
• PIPEDA, the federal privacy law for private sector organizations
• Quebec’s Law 25, with strict consent, privacy impact, and cross-border transfer rules
• Data residency expectations from health authorities, public sector buyers, and partners
• HIPAA, if you also serve US patients, payers, or partners

AWS regions in Canada make it possible to keep health data in the country. The harder part is building systems that respect all of these rules at the same time, stay fast enough for clinical use, and can prove compliance when asked. That’s the work this competency validates, and it’s work we do with a Canadian team that knows the local landscape.

How does Dedicatted deliver it?

Every healthcare engagement is different, but our work usually follows four stages:

Map your requirements. We start by understanding which privacy laws, contracts, and internal policies apply to you, then turn them into concrete technical and operational controls. You get a clear picture of what’s needed before anything is built.

Modernize critical systems. We migrate and rebuild healthcare workloads on AWS with security, residency, and resilience designed in. Where it makes sense, we modernize applications rather than simply moving them, so you get the full benefit of the cloud.

Put data and AI to work. We build data platforms and generative AI solutions that run inside your compliance boundary, with de-identification where needed and an audit trail behind every step. The goal is AI that clinicians and compliance teams can both trust.

Run it with you. As an AWS MSP Partner, we can operate, monitor, and improve the environment after go-live, so security controls keep working and systems stay available when care teams need them.
