Our dental practice aims to enhance patient care by implementing a real-time data integration platform. This project focuses on centralizing patient data from various sources to create a comprehensive, accessible patient profile for our dental team, improving decision-making and patient outcomes.

πŸ“‹Project Details

As a growing dental care provider, we recognize the importance of having a holistic view of our patients' health records. Currently, patient data is fragmented across multiple platformsβ€”EMR systems, appointment scheduling tools, and insurance databases, resulting in inefficiencies and potential miscommunications. To address this, we are undertaking a project to build a real-time data integration platform. This solution will leverage technologies such as Apache Kafka for event streaming and Spark for real-time data processing, ensuring that all patient information is synchronized and accessible. Airflow will manage workflows to process data pipelines efficiently, while dbt will assist in data transformation tasks. Our cloud database choice is Snowflake, given its performance and scalability, though we are exploring BigQuery and Databricks as viable options. The result will be an integrated dashboard that provides our dental staff with up-to-date patient information, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy, personalized treatment plans, and enhanced patient satisfaction.
