Business requirements
A secure and reliable database is a must-have when handling sensitive data in the healthcare industry. Each country has its own regulations on how protected health information must be handled. In the United States, associates must comply with HIPAA regulations. As healthcare providers run 24/7, a database that runs constantly with minimal downtime is crucial for providing quality care. When handling patient data, accuracy is key to ensuring safety, accurate treatment, and diagnosis. With stream processing, you can achieve both speed and accuracy.
Technical challenges
Being a well-established industry, many healthcare providers are likely dependent on legacy batch systems, making it a daunting task to transition to a stream processing system. No data can be lost during the transition, and the new system must be just as dependable as the previous one. With data coming from a variety of sources, the new stream processing system must be capable of handling them all. Furthermore, the system must have an intuitive interface so current practitioners can easily transition to the new workflow. Concrete security measures must be in place to ensure the data is safe from cyberattacks and that protected data is only accessible to authorized personnel.
