Learn how Langate created a solution for smooth healthcare data extraction, transformation, and analysis
In order to provide high-quality care, healthcare providers need to retrieve patient-related data from various external sources that may have different storage formats. So facilities need a tool that would facilitate fast, accurate, and secure data exchange.
The Client
Our client is the premier provider of IT and financial services in the healthcare industry. They have been servicing skilled nursing facilities and rehab centers nationwide for over a decade, helping them grow without the stress from finances, purchasing, HR, pharmacy cost, revenue, and technology.
The Problem
In order to successfully provide services to more than 300 nursing facilities, our client needs to extract thousands of patient records from various sources daily.
This results in duplicates, a large amount of time spent downloading the data, and data inconsistency. They wanted to solve these issues within one IT solution and, most importantly, automate the process of fixing typos and incorrect values in key identifiers.
Do you also need to streamline data operations in your healthcare business?
Reach out to Langate to develop a solution that would simplify data management and automate routine processes.
Primary Challenges
Data inconsistency and duplicates were the challenges we focused on first.
Data Variance Tolerance
Since the data coming in is in different formats and from different patient data records, the client needs matching algorithms that are tolerable towards data variance. This feature will help them avoid duplicates and reduce the need for manual searches.
Fast Downloading
There is a large amount of patient data to download and a very limited time to do so. The diversity of systems contributed to the challenge as well since it made the process longer. The client wanted to speed up the downloading process in order to serve more patients.
The Process
Langate has successfully completed such a complex task. We have developed a Data ETL Platform that overcomes major challenges in healthcare data exchange and enables the processes of extraction, transformation, and loading of patient data into the central data warehouse.
The Solution
We developed the following features
