Modernizing Healthcare Data Pipelines with Matillion Cloud Technology 

Overview

About the Client

The client operates in the healthcare industry, delivering care coordination, diagnostics, and administrative services across hospitals and clinics. With a growing network and increased regulatory demands, the organization sought a modern, unified approach to healthcare data integration that could support cross-functional decision-making and ensure compliance. 

Challenges Faced 

As operations scaled, the client encountered major data management and integration roadblocks: 

• Disparate Data Systems: Clinical, financial, and CRM data were spread across multiple platforms including EHR systems and Salesforce Health Cloud. 

• Manual ETL Processes: Legacy ETL tools required extensive coding and lacked automation, leading to inefficiencies. 

• Delayed Insights: BI dashboards updated slowly, hindering timely responses in patient care and operations. 

• Compliance Risk: Data inconsistencies and lack of governance mechanisms increased risks related to HIPAA and other healthcare regulations. 

• Limited Scalability: Their on-premise architecture struggled to handle real-time, large-scale data processing.
