About the Client
MEDHOST's Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) is a specialized software solution that supports emergency departments by enhancing patient care and streamlining operations. The EDIS offers features such as patient tracking, clinical documentation, order management, decision support, and data analytics. With these capabilities, MEDHOST EDIS facilitates efficient workflows, accurate communication, and better decision-making, ultimately improving patient care and safety in fast-paced emergency environments.
The Problem & Challenges
MEDHOST sought to optimize its EDIS to keep pace with evolving healthcare demands. The existing monolithic structure hindered flexibility, and there was a need for improved data management and faster information access. Moreover, MEDHOST required compliance with stringent healthcare regulations and enhanced security for patient data. The challenge was to modernize the EDIS with microservices and serverless components to improve performance, scalability, and security.
Monolithic Architecture
Converting 80% of the monolithic system to microservices while ensuring 20% of serverless components to maintain a hybrid architecture that aligns with AWS infrastructure.
Data Management and Integration
Integrating AWS HealthLake to centralize patient data with a 40% boost in performance, enabling better data accuracy and automatic synchronization across emergency department operations.
Security and Compliance
Ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations while enhancing data security, achieving an increase in data accuracy and reliability for improved patient outcomes.
Performance Optimization
Leveraging serverless components to reduce cooling costs by consolidating data and boosting performance by 40%, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
Our Solution
Webkorps implemented a comprehensive hybrid cloud transformation strategy for MEDHOST’s EDIS platform. Our approach was methodical; we preserved the stability of the live system while systematically re-architecting it for the future, using AWS’s healthcare-specific toolset to ensure every layer met clinical-grade standards.
