Informatica announces industry’s first intelligent healthcare data lake
Data management solutions and big data companyInformatica LLChas announced the debut of the industry’s first intelligent data lake, a repository for raw data, that’s made specifically for healthcare.
The healthcare industry sees a great deal of data from numerous sources, most of it unstructured and difficult to compile, curate and even store. Because of the sensitive nature of data coming in from doctors, hospitals, contractors and now the Internet of Things, healthcare institutions must also secure and manage data according to regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act also known as HIPAA. All of these things continue to increase complexity and accountability of data generated by this industry.
Built onthe Informatica Intelligent Data Platform, the Intelligent Healthcare Data Lake is designed to take into account all of these problems and provide a ready solution for regulatory management, security, data governance and Big Data analytics support.
“In the face of healthcare’s insatiable appetite for data, traditional data warehousing is not enough in the race to business and clinical insights,” said Richard Cramer, chief healthcare strategist at Informatica. “Healthcare organizations now need rapid and agile big data access, high-value discovery analytics, and cost-effective scalability afforded by well managed and governed data lakes.
