Seamless Patient Data Integration
A healthcare analytics provider needed to ingest massive volumes of
complex patient data from dozens of health plan organizations using
various formats and protocols—including HL7 v3, FHIR bundles, and
JSON. With BridgeGate™, the client implemented a high-performance
integration layer that seamlessly sanitized, processed, and delivered
accurate data into their analytics engine. BridgeGate™ processed over 44
million patient files (45TB) in just 44 hours, enabling insights for 20+
health plans, 100+ hospitals, and millions of patients.
About the Client
Our customer is an Enterprise healthcare data platform which unifies data across multiple health plans for the providers to get insights for streamlining operations and improving clinical trial revenue.
The customer creates a data lake from files received via multiple health plan organizations and has created an analytics engine which can be used to make data led decisions for the health plan organizations. The analytics engine gives a deep understanding of the demographics, providers, payers, encounter, claims etc datasets for the organization to be consumed through custom defined analytics and reports.
The Challenge
The customer receives different file types like HL7 v3(CCDs), FHIR bundles, JSONs etc through multiple protocols, depending on the connectivity methods of the health plan organizations.
The customer attempted to use competing EiPaaS products but they lacked the core integration functionality to parse the necessary data sets and fix errors in the data. Furthermore, the products lacked the stringent volume / time processing requirements without spending millions of dollars in additional server costs.
The Solution
The customer uses the fully managed BridgeGate ™ which allows the team to focus on their core capabilities of building the analytics engine and leave the data interfacing work to our expert healthcare integration team. The full processing audit trail, proactive reporting and alerting features on the BridgeGate™ portal helps meet the customer’s historical processing audit requirements.
BridgeGate™ processed the incoming files to provide all the required data sets so that the data can be used in the best possible way to be ingested in the analytics engine. BridgeGate™ helps in troubleshooting errors with incoming data and sanitizing data for the best possible use.
The Results
BridgeGate™ helped exceed the volume/time requirements by processing over 44 million patient files, approximately 45TB of data in 44 hours. BridgeGate™ loaded an average of over 1 million complex CCDs per hour. The BridgeGate™ cloud auto scaling and clustering feature was able to spin up additional processing power to meet the peak demand at a fraction of the competing EiPaaS platform costs. This enabled upwards of 20 health plan providers, 100+ hospitals and millions of patients to get help in their care plan and gave insights to the practitioners for better patient care.
Scalable performance at lower cost
BridgeGate™ processed 44 million patient files (45TB) in just 44 hours—exceeding performance goals while reducing infrastructure costs compared to competing EiPaaS platforms.
End-to-end data integration
With support for HL7 v3, FHIR, and JSON over various protocols, BridgeGate™ unified fragmented data flows across 20+ health plans and 100+ hospitals into a single analytics engine.
Fully managed and audit-ready
The client leveraged BridgeGate’s fully managed services and robust audit trail, enabling their team to focus on core analytics while meeting strict compliance and reporting standards.
