Why ADHICS compliance is harder than clinics expect

Three fault lines where Abu Dhabi clinics lose weeks before every TRBA audit.

⏰

DoH licensure deadline moving

TRBA audit scheduled

Licensure renewal is tied to the TRBA audit outcome. Clinics often get 4–8 weeks of warning that an audit is coming — not enough time to rebuild a compliance program from scratch.

⚠️ Licensure risk if findings linger past 90 days
💸

Consultant quotes keep growing

AED 60,000–120,000

Local consultants charge per facility and per audit cycle. The scope creeps every quarter because every control change triggers a billable hour.

⚠️ Compliance line item eats into clinical investment
📊

Quarterly reporting is a spreadsheet nightmare

2 days per quarter

DoH expects a quarterly compliance report. Clinics stitch it together from spreadsheets, email threads and the IT ticket queue — error-prone, time-expensive, and audit-fragile.

⚠️ Reports late or inconsistent across quarters

Frequently asked questions

Is ADHICS required for my clinic?

ADHICS compliance is a condition of DoH licensure for all healthcare facilities operating in Abu Dhabi. Clinics, dental practices, pharmacies and diagnostic labs are typically scoped to the Basic tier. Confirm the tier placement with DoH during licensure review.

Do I need a dedicated CISO?

Not at the Basic tier. Clinics designate an accountable owner for information security — this can be the practice manager, IT lead or an outsourced role. A dedicated CISO is explicitly expected at the Advanced tier (hospitals and larger providers).

How does ADHICS affect my Malaffi connection?

Malaffi — the Abu Dhabi health information exchange — expects ADHICS-aligned controls as a condition of connection. The ADHICS compliance pack doubles as the Malaffi readiness evidence.

What happens if we fail a TRBA audit?

TRBA findings carry a 90-day window to close non-conformities. Failure to remediate within the window can affect DoH licensure renewal. LowerPlane tracks the 90-day timer per finding so nothing drops.
