Availability of the right information in the right place can facilitate this considerably. This
requires clear insight into (necessary) process information and therefore also a holistic
vision of the infrastructure.
Industry point of view
4. Healthcare Global Market
14
50.5
2019 - e 2024 -p
CAGR
28.3% Favourable government
initiatives to increase EHR
adoption, growing
pressure to curb
healthcare costs,
availability of big data in
healthcare, and increase
in VC investments are
major factors driving
market growth.
North America, especially
the US, offers significant
growth opportunities for
market players.
The market is dominated by North
America, followed by Europe, Asia,
and RoW.
Factors for the high growth of the North
American market
• Federal healthcare mandates to curb
rising healthcare costs
• Increasing regulatory requirements
• Growing EHR adoption
• Rising government initiatives focusing
on personalized medicine, population
health management, and value-based
reimbursements
The global healthcare analytics
market is projected to reach
USD $50.5 billion by 2024
from $14.0 billion in 2019
5. Technology Trends in Healthcare to watch in 2021
TREND #1: TELEMEDICINE
TREND #2: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
TREND #3: CHATBOTS
TREND #4: DATA SCIENCE AND PREDICTIVE
ANALYTICS
6. TREND #1: TELEMEDICINE
• Evolution in telemedicine is one the
biggest sources of rapid change in the
US healthcare system.
• Telemedicine is improving diagnosing
and treatment by making it easier for
patients to get access to specialists.
• Availability of electronic records has
also made it simpler to forward
documents to specialists.
• Difference between having or not
having expert input into a case.

Technology Trends in Healthcare to watch in 2021
8. TREND #3: CHATBOTS
• Chatbots are already revolutionizing the
business world.
• Would continue playing big part of the
digital transformation in healthcare.
• Address easily diagnosed problems allows
professionals to focus on matters that might
require the full attention of a physician.
• Specially more beneficial for practices
dealing with older patients
• Any chatbot system will be subject to the
same rules that govern the rest of the
industry, so compliance with HIPAA in the US
and the GDPR in the EU will feature highly
TREND #4: DATA SCIENCE AND PREDICTIVE
ANALYTICS
• Data scanned and analysed to improve efficiency
within a healthcare organization.
• Doctors to identify and address problems that are
endemic to regions, families, trades and other
population clusters.
• Patients who are at heightened risk for re-
admission may, for example, be treated for longer
periods during their initial admissions in order to
improve long-term care.
• Information derived from studies of patients can
also be employed to predict which individuals
might be at higher risk of negative outcomes.
• Analytics is another field why synergies can be
achieved. With greater inflows of data from IoMT
devices, Data science consultants can construct
more detailed models.

IT Reference Architecture for Healthcare
Availability of the right information in the right place can facilitate this
considerably. This requires clear insight into (necessary) process information
and therefore also a holistic vision of the infrastructure.
Functional domain – Reference architecture
11. Modern data platform – solution architecture tenets
A modern data architecture exhibits the following ten characteristics:
Customer-
centric
Adaptable
Elastic
Secure Automated
Smart
Flexible
Collaborative Governed
Simple
12. The new data environment is a living, breathing organism that detects and responds to changes,
continuously learns and adapts, and provides governed, tailored access to every individual.
Modern data platform – solution architecture
13. Expected Key Business Benefits
• Enabled additional use cases and innovative
services.
• Reduced operational cost through automation
• Integrated data in unified platform for multiple
workloads
• Defined an operational model to support new
platform.
• Improved business agility, reduced TCO and
improved margins
• On-prem ODS
migration to Azure
• Configurable workflows
for data ingestion
• Integrated definition of
data
• Rearchitected for cloud
native and MPP
architecture
• Removed source
dependencies
• Reuse existing business
logic
Enterprise Data
Platform
• Cross functional
analysis and
integrated data
entities.
• Established full life
cycle tracking of
enterprise data.
• Rationalization of
reporting environment
• Decommissioning of
legacy reporting
platforms
Self Service
Analysis
• Deployment flexibility,
Automated monitoring
through Azure Monitor
• Reusable pipelines,
bring more dynamism
in meta data driven
ingestion.
• Dynamic resource
provisioning scale up
and down using
performance metrics.

Tools
What we are trying to achieve … Transition from legacy data landscape to Enterprise data platform, driven by consumer driven
mindset, follow an open approach to technologies and design with support and maintenance in mind to reduce TCO.
Blob , ADF, Azure SQL
DWH, SQL DB, Logic
App, Tableau &
Analysis Services
• Organizational Silos, Point Solutions – No business focused view
• No integrated Data & unified platform, No thought on long term
architecture
• Enforced requirements & models upfront, limiting the changes and scale
• Multiple reporting systems lack of single source of truth.
Proposed solution architecture – Azure Cloud
14. Storage Considerations
• Azure Blob storage/ADLS Gen 2 provides cost
effective, scalable, Data sharing capabilities.
• Object life cycle Management to archive the data
from hot tier to cold tier.
• Data redundancy in multiple zones to provide
High Availability
• SQL DWH as an aggregated layer for Dash
boarding & reporting
• Polybase for ad-hoc analysis, SQL on blob storage
through federated queries..
• Unified Storage Supports multiple access patterns
Data Processing & Compute
• ADF v2 – Azure Data Factory for workflow
management and on demand runtime to reduce
cost
• Logic Apps – Real Time integration through event
base/recursive triggers. Wide range of
connectors.
• Cloud Functions – for serverless light weight
asynchronous minor ETL operations.
• Spark/SSIS – Take advantage of cloud’s auto
scaling features parallel processing to handle the
complex scenario’s and huge volume.
• Hadoop based utility to process semi-structured
data
Data Model & ETL considerations
• Through ADF v2 leveraging the existing SSIS
packages and stored procedures.
• Leveraging the MPP architecture and ELT approach
for faster ingestion
• Reuse existing SP’s Business logic to minimize
migration cost & business disruption
Volumes
• Daily data processing – 6 GB of compressed Data
(20 GB of uncompressed)
• Data Lake – 3TB , Archived – 8TB
• 3000+ On-premise objects includes (ODS, DWH
& Reports)
