Why Offline First Systems Matter in Hospitals

Hospitals rely heavily on digital systems. When connectivity or EHR platforms fail, clinicians are often left without access to critical data. This dependency creates a single point of failure that can jeopardize patient safety. (See our analysis on EHR downtime statistics).

The Risk of Disconnection

Offline first systems allow hospitals to continue operating safely. Data is stored locally and synchronized once connectivity is restored. This means that during an internet outage, a cloud provider failure, or even a ransomware containment event, the core clinical data remains available to the doctors and nurses who need it.

Our Approach

CodeDark Health is built with this principle to ensure patient care never stops. We believe that software should be robust enough to handle the chaotic reality of hospital environments, where network stability is not always guaranteed. Learn more about our clinical operations philosophy.
