Transforming Healthcare with AWS Migration
Project Overview
We helped a healthcare organization overcome scalability and performance issues by migrating its infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The solution involved using Amazon RDS, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, and Cognito. This resulted in improved system performance, efficient peak load handling, enhanced user experience, and better patient care. The project also ensured data security and HIPAA compliance.
Challenges & Requirements
For the first time, we’re discovering physicians are expressing much more openness and willingness to consider information about their patients coming from DIY devices.– Ceci Connolly, Leader of PwC’s Health Research Institute”
Process
Arihant Healthcare Technology proposed a comprehensive solution to migrate the client’s infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The migration involved moving their databases to Amazon RDS, implementing Amazon API Gateway for API management, using Amazon S3 for storage, implementing Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, and integrating Amazon Cognito for user authentication.
- Amazon RDS: Arihant Healthcare Technology migrated the client’s patient data and other relational databases to Amazon RDS, a fully managed database service in AWS. This provided automatic scaling, backups, and high availability. It also freed up the client’s IT team from the time-consuming task of database administration.
- Amazon API Gateway: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented Amazon API Gateway to manage the client’s APIs effectively and ensure secure, reliable access to services. This provided them with insights into API performance, helped them identify and fix issues quickly, and enabled them to scale their APIs as needed.
- Amazon S3: Arihant Healthcare Technology used Amazon S3 for storing the client’s data. Amazon S3 provides secure, durable, and highly scalable object storage, making it easy for the client to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time.
- Amazon CloudFront: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented Amazon CloudFront, a fast content delivery network (CDN) service, to deliver the client’s content to their users with low latency and high transfer speeds. This improved the speed and responsiveness of their applications.
- Amazon Cognito: Arihant Healthcare Technology integrated Amazon Cognito to provide user authentication. This allowed users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications, reducing the need for multiple passwords and streamlining the login process.
- Security and Compliance: Arihant Healthcare Technology ensured that all data was encrypted both in transit and at rest, adhering to HIPAA compliance. They also implemented robust access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel could access sensitive patient data. Regular audits were conducted to ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant regulations.
Results
Post-migration, the client saw significant improvements in their system’s performance and scalability.They were able to handle peak loads efficiently, eliminating downtime during high patient influx. The IT teamfound it easier to manage the infrastructure, freeing up their time to focus on strategic initiatives. The use ofAmazon Cognito improved user experience and security. Overall, the migration to AWS enabled the client todeliver better patient care and grow their services.
