Greenway Health treibt ePA-Innovationen mithilfe von AWS HealthLake voran | Fallbeispiel
Summary
Greenway Health migrated its Electronic Health Record (EHR) system to AWS HealthLake. This enabled the secure management and analysis of large volumes of data in a HIPAA-compliant environment, significantly improving service performance and innovation capability.
Details
Greenway Health provides EHR solutions for ambulatory practices. The company faced challenges with its legacy API solution due to increasing volumes of sensitive patient data, leading to slow API response times and increased infrastructure maintenance burden. To resolve these issues, Greenway migrated its EHR system to AWS HealthLake, a HIPAA-compliant service. HealthLake allows healthcare organizations to securely store, transform, and analyze health data using FHIR APIs, supporting low latency transactions while meeting strict regulations like the US ONC's patient access rules. Post-migration, Greenway drastically reduced data loading time, successfully ingesting 9.5 billion FHIR resources without errors, demonstrating high scalability. By utilizing HealthLake, the development team was freed from non-core infrastructure management tasks and could focus on innovation, such as seamless integration with third-party applications to optimize patient care. This case demonstrates how a cloud-native data platform based on the FHIR standard contributes to digital transformation and improved interoperability in healthcare.
