Summary

The creation of a single patient view (SPV) in healthcare requires addressing technical challenges such as integrating complex and sensitive data across disparate systems, ensuring interoperability, and maintaining regulatory compliance. To overcome these challenges, many organizations are adopting data streaming platforms like Apache Kafka and Confluent to securely process and share medical information in real-time. These platforms enable healthcare providers to build an SPV that powers a range of critical use cases, such as clinical trial matching services, while also improving patient outcomes by providing timely and accurate access to actionable patient data. With the benefits of fully managed and serverless data streaming platforms like Confluent Cloud, organizations can simplify their architecture, reduce maintenance time, and increase flexibility in delivering high-quality healthcare information.
