A Data Foundation for Connected Healthcare

A partnership to lay the data foundation for connected healthcare: a data strategy and roadmap, and a Microsoft Fabric platform for reporting and future population-health use cases.

  • Microsoft Fabric
  • Epic EHR
  • Data strategy
  • Reporting

At a glance

A US health system. Epic and insurance-related systems. The work runs from data strategy through a reporting foundation.

The business

The client needed a connected view across Epic, insurance-related systems and other sources, so reporting and later population-health work could share one model.

The challenge

Healthcare data in separate systems

Healthcare data in separate systems

Information lived across Epic, insurance-related systems and other sources, with no strong shared view across them.

Analytics hard to scale

Without a strong shared data model, advanced analytics and population-health use cases were harder to scale.

The solution

A three-part approach

  1. Data strategy and roadmap

    A defined strategy and roadmap for a connected, scalable foundation. It sets the path for the data platform, a shared data model as the base, and a route to population-health use cases.

  2. Modern data platform

    A Microsoft Fabric platform that integrates healthcare sources, including Epic and insurance-related systems. One shared data foundation, ready to extend as governance matures.

  3. Reporting foundation

    A business-facing layer on the integrated data: reports and dashboards, insight for planning and tracking, and less reliance on source-by-source views.
