Healthcare AI & Data Services That Ship
Fractional CTO advisory, EHR and FHIR data engineering, HCC risk adjustment automation, and AI-driven clinical workflows, from strategy through production deployment. Also applied to manufacturing and supply chain data and AI work.
Our healthcare AI reference architecture
A typical DATA4AI engagement connects EHR, claims, and quality data into an Azure or Microsoft Fabric lakehouse, layers AI and NLP on top, and surfaces the output where clinicians and ACO leaders actually work.
Fractional CTO / AI Advisory
Senior technical leadership without the full-time overhead.
Not every organization needs a full-time CTO, but every organization making significant data and AI investments needs senior technical leadership. We provide hands-on, fractional advisory to healthtech startups, health systems building internal AI capabilities, and boutique healthcare consultancies seeking senior subcontracting capacity. Engagements span strategy, architecture decisions, team development, vendor evaluation, and execution oversight, embedded in your leadership team where it matters.
What You Get
- Ongoing strategic technical guidance
- Team mentoring and capability building
- Vendor and technology evaluation
- Architecture review and decision support
- Board and investor-ready technical narratives
- Senior subcontracting capacity for consultancies
Data Engineering
EHR integration and healthcare data pipelines built for VBC.
AI and analytics are only as good as the data feeding them. We build production-grade FHIR-native pipelines that connect EHRs (Epic, Cerner, Meditech), payer claims feeds, and operational systems into a unified analytics layer, the foundation for ACO dashboards, care gap analytics, HCC workflows, and population health. Engineered for HIPAA-aware handling of PHI and designed to move with your value-based contracts.
What You Get
- Epic, Cerner, and Meditech EHR integration
- FHIR and HL7 pipeline design and deployment
- Payer claims ingestion for ACO and MSSP analytics
- Clinical + operational data unification in a lakehouse
- Data quality and governance for PHI
- Migration from legacy healthcare data warehouses
AI Strategy & Advisory
Turn AI ambition into a practical roadmap, in regulated environments.
Most healthcare AI initiatives fail because they start with technology instead of clinical or operational problems. We help leadership teams identify where AI can move the needle on value-based care performance, assess your data and FHIR readiness, and build an actionable plan that accounts for HIPAA, clinical informatics realities, and clinical AI governance. The result is a phased roadmap, not a 60-page deck that collects dust.
What You Get
- AI readiness assessment and opportunity mapping
- Clinical AI governance frameworks
- Use case prioritization for VBC performance
- Technology and vendor evaluation
- Phased roadmap with clear milestones
- Executive-ready business cases
GenAI / AI Agents & Agentic Workflows
Clinical AI, HCC risk adjustment, and agentic workflows for care and revenue cycle.
Generative AI only delivers when it's grounded in your clinical data, integrated into EHR-driven workflows, and deployed with proper guardrails. We build HCC risk adjustment NLP pipelines that surface unaddressed codes from Epic and other EHR clinical notes pre-visit, clinical documentation AI, and agentic workflows for care coordination, prior authorization, and revenue cycle automation, all using Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Fabric, and Claude API. Every solution ships with evaluation frameworks and production monitoring.
What You Get
- HCC risk adjustment NLP on Azure and Microsoft Fabric
- Clinical documentation AI and note summarization
- Agent-based care coordination and prior auth workflows
- Revenue cycle automation (coding, denial management)
- RAG-based clinical knowledge retrieval
- Production deployment with clinical evaluation and monitoring
Workflow Automation
Eliminate manual clinical and operational work.
Manual clinical admin and operational processes drain capacity and introduce errors. We design end-to-end automation using Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, Claude API, and n8n, from clinical documentation flows and intake to prior auth and revenue cycle. Identify the highest-impact automation opportunities, connect your systems, apply business rules, and leverage AI agents where they add value. The result: faster care delivery, fewer errors, and teams that focus on work that matters.
What You Get
- Clinical administrative automation
- Documentation workflow automation
- Prior authorization and intake automation
- Integration across EHR, payer, and operational systems
- AI-enhanced decision automation
- Measurable time and cost savings
Data Architecture
FHIR-native analytics and compliant healthcare data platforms.
A well-designed healthcare data architecture is the difference between a platform that scales with value-based contracts and one that becomes technical debt. We design architectures using proven patterns, medallion, lakehouse, event-driven, sized to your FHIR, claims, and operational data volumes, with PHI governance and HIPAA-aware access control built in from day one.
What You Get
- Healthcare data platform design (lakehouse, medallion)
- Clinical data modeling (FHIR-native)
- PHI governance and access control architecture
- Real-time and batch processing patterns
- Architecture documentation and review
Cloud Data Platforms: Azure & Microsoft Fabric
Modern Microsoft-based healthcare data platforms.
We specialize in the Microsoft and Azure ecosystem for healthcare (Microsoft Fabric, Azure OpenAI, Synapse, Databricks, Azure Data Factory). We implement, migrate, and optimize cloud data platforms that are secure, performant, and cost-optimized for healthcare workloads, and stay on for managed support so your team can operate with confidence.
What You Get
- Azure and Microsoft Fabric implementation
- Migration from on-prem and legacy healthcare warehouses
- Cost optimization and performance tuning for PHI workloads
- Security and compliance configuration
- Platform training and ongoing managed support
