Greenway Health utilized AWS HealthLake to overcome limitations in its existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, which struggled with scalability and data processing. This established a high-performance data integration and analysis foundation using FHIR API within a HIPAA-compliant environment.
Key Players
Details
Greenway Health provides EHR solutions for outpatient care. Previously, their API-based systems faced challenges handling increasing data volume and complexity, leading to slow response times and increased infrastructure management burdens. To resolve this, the company partnered with AWS and migrated its EHR system to AWS HealthLake, a HIPAA-compliant service. Using HealthLake, they could meet the US Office of National Coordinator (ONC) patient access requirements while supporting low-latency transactions via FHIR API. Technically, Greenway utilized HealthLake data stores to significantly shorten initial data loading times. Developers were freed from infrastructure management—a non-core task—allowing them to focus on their core mission of providing healthcare services. This enabled seamless integration with external applications via the FHIR API, allowing physicians to view patient growth charts safely and quickly. Furthermore, using HealthLake's pay-as-you-go model helped avoid the risks associated with expensive license agreements, achieving cost savings. This foundation enables future expansion into value-based care analytics, such as developing electronic case record apps or integrating generative AI services.
