PointClickCare: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

PointClickCare supplies cloud software for long-term and senior care. At its core is an electronic health record (EHR) for skilled nursing and senior living, complemented by modules such as medication administration (eMAR), billing and quality reporting. The company also offers care-coordination and analytics applications for hospitals, health plans and others in the care chain, plus a marketplace of third-party integrations. The service is delivered as SaaS.

PointClickCare Technologies Inc. is headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, which is outside the EU and EEA. Its privacy policy says production databases are hosted in the customer's country of residence, that backups for Canadian customers may be held in the United States, and that information about European residents may be stored and accessed in Canada and/or the United States. Its Trust Center lists Microsoft Azure with processing in the United States and Canada. No European data-centre option is documented, and the GDPR is not named. European care providers should therefore assess data transfers carefully.

Why digital sovereignty matters with PointClickCare

PointClickCare is headquartered in CA, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

PointClickCare hosts data outside the EU (US, OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

PointClickCare is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs PointClickCare together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
