SAND Technology - Intelligent Information Management
 
SAND/DNA for Healthcare
 

"SAND Technology offers us something we have not been able to find until now: a powerful, secure platform for exploring patient data that can be maintained with minimal help from the IT department."
— Fabien de Lorenzi, Associate Director of Research, CHUS.

Health Informatics is a critical component of modern healthcare. Whether the focus is on analysis of operational data to optimize administration, or on making clinical data available to medical researchers in a highly secure analytical environment, healthcare institutions are increasingly in need of data management environments that can handle large volumes of data while maintaining good performance and rigorous security.

SAND/DNA enables customers in the healthcare industry to cost-effectively retain massive amounts of compressed data in a secure nearline repository for extended periods, in accordance with any applicable organizational rules and regulatory requirements, and to rapidly retrieve just the information they need, whenever it is needed. A centralized data management solution with unparalleled performance and storage efficiency, the SAND/DNA suite dramatically reduces costs and management complexity while ensuring continuous data availability.

SAND/DNA can act as the platform for high-performance analytic applications in such areas as:

  • Clinical Research
  • Care Analysis
  • Financial Analysis

Or, they can be implemented to enhance data warehouse performance by applying Intelligent Information Management principles to warehouse design and data storage.

SAND/DNA for Healthcare Solution
 
Case Study
Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS)
The Challenge
CHUS was given the mandate to provide clinical researchers with the ability to perform complex ad hoc queries and data mining on patient data drawn from hospital systems.
The existing Electronic Health record system was not designed to respond to the complex queries researchers wanted to ask. Also, considerations of patient record confidentiality made analytic access to multiple patient records problematic, and the wealth of information contained in physicians' clinical notes was not searchable.
Solution
CHUS implemented a powerful healthcare analytics solution using SAND Technology products. The systems' features include: a highly flexible data management engine that can easily load data from the hospital's operational systems into a very simple data model; high-performance processing of clinical and evaluative researchers' complex ad hoc queries; minimal administration and programming requirements; a process of record "de-identification" that enables researchers to track cases and procedures without compromising patient privacy; a way to automatically encode physicians' medical notes, so that researchers can query this data along with more structured clinical information.
