The Challenge

What the Client Was Facing

A hospital group needed to modernise their data platform for clinical analytics while maintaining HIPAA compliance. Data sat in 12 disparate source systems, no unified patient view existed and clinical researchers waited weeks for manual data extracts.

Our Role

What ZippyOPS Was Engaged To Do

ZippyOPS was brought in to design and implement a solution addressing the root causes of the client's challenges β€” delivering measurable outcomes within a fixed engagement timeline. Our team worked embedded with the client's engineers throughout the entire project.

The Solution

How We Solved It

ZippyOPS built a HIPAA-compliant data lakehouse on Databricks with Delta Lake. All data was encrypted at rest and in transit, row-level security enforced access by role and a data catalogue was built in OpenMetadata. Automated quality checks validated clinical data integrity before surfacing to researchers.
