The Challenge
When scattered data holds back discovery
The Challenge
The hospital’s pediatric research team needed to gather and connect information from multiple sources to study treatment patterns across patient populations. Its goal was a clinical registry that could support population studies and the development of evidence-based medicine protocols.
The information was scattered across lab reports, billing systems, and medical records, including handwritten notes. Sources differed in format, access protocols, and rules for data use. The hospital also had to account for HIPAA requirements when capturing and using sensitive patient information.
