Case Story: How a Healthcare Organization Transformed Internal Collaboration with a Private Community

A real-world example of how SelfCommunity was implemented in a complex healthcare setting

The Initial Challenge

A major regional healthcare organization faced significant challenges in internal communication and collaboration. With staff spread across a wide territory, multiple facilities, and complex strategic projects to coordinate, the organization needed a solution that could:

• Ensure full ownership and control of sensitive data

• Support internal organization and the management of strategic projects like PNRR and DM77

• Provide a centralized tool for multidisciplinary collaboration

• Promote continuous professional development for staff

The Solution: A Tailored Private Community

Security Architecture

The organization implemented a fully closed community with access via unique invitation codes. This ensured:

• Access limited exclusively to authorized staff

• Full control over company data

• Compliance with healthcare privacy regulations

Advanced User Segmentation

The core of the project was the creation of a highly sophisticated user cluster system:
Over 130 predefined clusters organized by:

• Professional role: healthcare, administrative, technical staff

• Operational area: hospital, territorial, administrative

• Affiliated structure: different facilities and departments

• Geographical distribution: multiple operational sites

This segmentation enabled ultra-targeted communication, ensuring each message reached only the relevant recipients.
