Use case 7 - Population health management

Gain full visibility into your population’s health data to improve clinical outcomes

Overview

Healthcare organizations are struggling to gain clear visibility across the populations they serve due to siloed, legacy systems spanning an array of standards and protocols. Without a comprehensive view of their community’s health information, these organizations encounter challenges to drive meaningful change and improve outcomes.

This use case helps enrich an organization’s clinical data repository to power population health initiatives and unlock critical data for analysis and action. It advances efforts to integrate siloed systems in a secure and scalable manner.

Use case description

The population health management use case accelerates conversion and ingestion of valuable clinical data across a variety of standards into Amazon HealthLake. Once the FHIR R4 formatted data has been stored in HealthLake, users are able to easily take advantage of other valuable industry-specific Amazon offerings including specialized machine learnings models to identify trends and make predictions.

Workflow

The Population Health Management Process API orchestrates the following:

  • Consume HL7 v2 events, C-CDA documents and X12 EDIs sent from various systems via Anypoint MQ
  • Transform clinical data from all sources to FHIR R4 Bundles
  • Store the FHIR R4 Bundles in Amazon HealthLake data store using the Amazon HealthLake System API

Assumptions and constraints

  • Leveraged existing Accelerator converter capabilities to convert C-CDA, HL7 v2 and X12 to FHIR R4 Bundles.
  • Amazon HealthLake only supports the batch FHIR BundleType.
  • Amazon HealthLake System API matches Patients using Patient MRN and Practitioners using Practitioner NPI provided by the source system to avoid generation of duplicate entries.
  • Amazon HealthLake can ingest up to 160 individual resource types in a single Bundle operation.
