Introduction
Healthcare has always been an industry with a complex and siloed nature, which reflects in its data management. As a matter of fact, 80% of healthcare data remains unstructured, often referred to as “dark” data. The lack of structure, overwhelming amount of information, and manual processes often lead to limitations in extracting valuable insights, subsequently highlighting the need for better management and automation.
The Proposed Solution
A cutting-edge solution designed to address this issue utilizes a powerful combination of Amazon Web Services (AWS), namely Amazon Textract, Amazon Comprehend Medical, and Amazon HealthLake. This approach automates the ingestion and transformation of previously untapped data, enabling healthcare providers to extract meaningful insights and streamline their workflows effectively.
Overview of AWS Services and Solution
AWS offers a wide array of services that cater to the unique needs of healthcare providers aiming to unlock the full potential of their data. The process typically involves processing a sample of documents with Amazon Textract, extracting valuable data and loading it as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) in Amazon HealthLake. Additionally, custom processes for FHIR conversion can be developed and tested to suit specific needs.
Important FHIR Resources
FHIR serves as a standardized and uniform format for structured healthcare data. Key FHIR resources include:
Data Field Identification
Essential data fields within FHIR resources, such as patient ID, date of service, provider type, and medical facility name ensure seamless organization and access to vital healthcare data for both providers and patients.
Conclusion
By harnessing the power of AWS services, automation, and FHIR, unlocking hidden insights in healthcare data is no longer an insurmountable challenge. The benefits and potential applications of this revolutionary approach are immense, touching upon aspects of patient care, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making in healthcare settings. Embracing these technologies offers a promising future of improved healthcare experience and quality of life for patients across the globe.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
