MedInsight Data Engine

At the core of MedInsight's technology is the MI Data Engine, which utilizes top-tier cloud technologies and integrates with MedInsight’s Azure Lakehouse. It incorporates our unique Data Confidence Model and superior Clinical and Financial Enrichment Analytics to process, enhance, organize, and securely maintain our clients' data. This engine is crucial as it supports all MedInsight products, enabling access through our applications, the Data Science Portal, or direct data transfers to your own cloud.

MI Data Ingestion

Our File Loader system is designed to securely collect and audit each client's updated data. It is then processed through our ETL pipelines and validated by our Data Confidence Model to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across updates so that our clients can know they are making decisions with data they can trust.

MI Lakehouse

After initial ETL processing and audits, data moves to the MedInsight Lakehouse. Here, we enhance the data using our Clinical analytics (e.g., Evidence-Based Measures) and financial analytics (e.g., Benchmarks). Post-enrichment, data is organized in our Data Access Layer (DAL) to support customized reporting and enhance query performance. The DAL serves as a source for our tailored semantic layers and various reporting applications (e.g., the Payer, VBC, and Data Platforms), or it can be directly transferred back to a client’s cloud environment.
