Client Background

A Tech Company with IT and Healthcare Services Forte

Our client is a prominent IT and healthcare services organization specializing in bridging the gap between technology and healthcare solutions. They offer advanced tools and platforms designed to streamline operations, enhance research capabilities, and improve patient care. Their end customers include leading pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, biotechnology firms, and technology service enterprises. These organizations demand sophisticated, integrated systems to manage complex datasets, support decision-making, and foster innovation in their respective fields.

Challenge

Absence of a Central Platform with Holistic Patient Data

The current challenge lies in the lack of a centralized platform that consolidates holistic, disease-specific patient information from the first care encounter to the present. This gap results from data disparities across sources like hospitals, diagnostic labs, and pathology labs, leading to terminology mismatches and scattered information in Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and molecular datasets. Such fragmentation hampers diagnostics, prognostics, cohort selection, and patient segmentation. Moreover, communication barriers between technical teams and healthcare professionals further complicate the design and implementation of efficient solutions.

Healthark’s role

Designed and Defined the Platform and its Functionality for Holistic Patient View

We designed and implemented a secure cloud infrastructure and ETL processes to integrate and centralize fragmented healthcare data, including EMR and molecular datasets. Additionally, we enabled advanced cohort selection tools tailored to research needs and facilitated seamless collaboration between technical and healthcare teams to drive innovation and alignment:

  • Cloud Infrastructure Development: Designed and implemented a secure, scalable cloud infrastructure optimized for the healthcare domain, adhering to stringent data privacy regulations, such as HIPAA compliance.
  • Implementation of ETL Logic: Defined robust Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes to integrate and standardize data from disparate sources, ensuring seamless aggregation and accessibility.
  • Integrated Data Solutions: Proposed and initiated defining a unified platform to consolidate EMR and molecular datasets, creating a centralized data repository.
  • Cohort Selection Enablement: Facilitated the creation of tools to streamline and enhance cohort selection processes, tailored to meet the specific needs of researchers and clinicians.
  • Facilitating Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Acted as a bridge between technical teams and healthcare professionals to ensure effective communication and mutual understanding.
