A managed service for storing, transforming, and analyzing FHIR-compliant healthcare data

About 2 min read

What It Does

Amazon HealthLake is a managed service for storing, querying, and analyzing healthcare data compliant with the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. It also includes natural language processing capabilities that automatically extract structured data from unstructured medical data such as clinical notes and lab reports.

Use Cases

Used for integrating and analyzing electronic health record data, building data lakes for clinical research, enabling data interoperability between healthcare organizations, and performing machine learning analysis on patient data.

Everyday Analogy

Think of it as a specialized medical library. It organizes and stores various types of medical records in a unified standard (FHIR), making it easy to quickly search and analyze the information you need.

What Is HealthLake?

Amazon HealthLake is a managed data store purpose-built for healthcare data. It provides a REST API compliant with the FHIR R4 standard for reading and writing data. Through integration with Comprehend Medical, it can automatically extract disease names, medication names, lab values, and more from clinical notes and store them as FHIR resources.

Storing and Analyzing Data

HealthLake supports bulk import of FHIR bundles as well as CRUD operations on individual resources. Stored data can be queried using the FHIR Search API, and you can also run analytics by integrating with Athena and QuickSight. Data is automatically encrypted at rest and can be operated in a HIPAA-eligible environment. For a deeper dive into data storage and analysis, check out related books (Amazon).

Getting Started

Create a data store in the HealthLake console, and a FHIR endpoint will be provisioned for you. Use a FHIR client library to import data and run queries via the FHIR Search API. Bulk import from S3 is also supported.

Things to Watch Out For

  • If HIPAA compliance is required, you must sign an AWS BAA (Business Associate Addendum)
  • Only FHIR R4-compliant data can be stored. Legacy formats like HL7 v2 must be converted beforehand
