InterSystems and Google Cloud Integrate HealthShare: Strengthening Interoperability and Enabling AI in Healthcare Data

Details

The partnership was announced at HLTH, combining InterSystems' expertise in data harmonization, identity resolution, and interoperability with Google Cloud’s broad suite of AI-enabled analytics, search capabilities, and secure infrastructure. This addresses the critical challenge of fragmented and inconsistent healthcare data, allowing organizations to unlock AI potential using clean, unified, and actionable data. InterSystems HealthShare provides aggregation, normalization, de-duplication, patient identity resolution, and terminology mapping across diverse sources. Integrating these into Google Cloud’s Healthcare API enables three key capabilities: 1. **Scalable Data Foundation**: Creating a harmonized, FHIR-ready data foundation for research and clinical decision-making. 2. **Advanced AI Utilization**: Leveraging generative and agentic AI models (like Gemini) on Vertex AI for decision support and population health initiatives. 3. **Improved Interoperability and Security**: Enhancing data exchange with existing systems while benefiting from Google Cloud’s industry-leading security framework. The offering is available via a Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) model, demonstrating the critical need to establish reliable, interoperable data foundations before successful AI adoption in healthcare IT.
