Data service flow

HIPAA and PHI considerations

Any project that entails the handling of protected health information (PHI) requires extra steps to carefully plan and create solution architecture that’s HIPAA-compliant.

Our team had to carefully consider security and privacy issues relating to the tools, services, and configurations of Congruity’s platform. Once both teams aligned on the SA, the build portion went very quickly.

Approach

Research + discovery

  • Analyzed the data, its sources, permission requirements, etc.
  • Evaluated best-suited analytic platforms, connectors, and data stores

Alignment + prioritization

  • Presented SA recommendations along with high-level build estimates
  • Performed an approval & selection process of platform tools
  • Prioritized build activities for remainder of phase

Development + delivery

  • Configured and developed analytics platform foundation
  • Setup initial queries and triggers architecture
  • Integrated with telehealth provider’s Salesforce

Results

The Congruity Health platform is set up to proactively and predictively target patients in need of care by increasing access and accountability for targeted chronic disease management. The results? More accountability in healthcare and visibility to data that can reveal a patient’s changing health status based on the level of care they receive.

Working toward a mutual goal, Congruity Health and Digital Scientists are empowering the consumer while helping to decrease major health events and their associated costs.
