Overview

A consortium of Dutch regional hospitals needed to break down data silos between their clinical information systems to enable cross-facility patient analytics, resource planning, and quality benchmarking. NexOps built a federated Databricks data platform with AI-powered clinical analytics that respects data sovereignty while enabling collaborative intelligence across facilities.

Approach

METHODOLOGY

  • 01

    Designed a federated data mesh architecture on Databricks Unity Catalog, allowing each hospital to retain data ownership while sharing curated datasets through governed data products

  • 02

    Implemented Databricks Delta Sharing for secure, open-protocol data exchange between hospitals — enabling cross-facility analytics without requiring data duplication or centralisation

  • 03

    Built FHIR-compliant data pipelines on Databricks integrating with Epic, HiX, and ChipSoft clinical systems using Delta Lake medallion architecture

  • 04

    Deployed AI models for patient flow prediction, readmission risk scoring, and resource demand forecasting using Databricks ML and MLflow

  • 05

    Implemented differential privacy techniques and AI-driven anonymisation layered on top of Delta Sharing for cross-hospital analytics without exposing patient-level data

  • 06

    Deployed on Azure with Databricks private endpoints and managed identity for zero-trust security

Results

OUTCOMES

  • Connected 8 regional hospitals with 12,000+ beds into a single Databricks-powered analytics fabric via Delta Sharing

  • Delta Sharing enabling real-time cross-hospital data collaboration without data replication — maintaining sovereignty per facility

  • AI-driven patient flow predictions improving bed management

  • Enabled cross-facility benchmarking that identified 15% improvement opportunities in patient throughput

  • Maintained full GDPR and NEN 7510 compliance with zero data-sovereignty violations
