The Client
The client is a major Metropolitan Hospital Network managing 8 hospitals, each operating on different, incompatible legacy platforms. They needed a unified data architecture to eliminate data silos, streamline workflows, and enable real-time data sharing across all facilities.

The Challenges
The hospital network's operations were fragmented and inefficient due to incompatible legacy systems, which created significant data silos and workflow bottlenecks.
- Disparate legacy platforms across 8 different hospitals prevented cohesive operations.
- Manual data reconciliation processes were time-consuming and prone to error.
- Duplicate processes and system inefficiencies led to wasted resources.
- A lack of real-time data sharing hindered clinical and administrative decision-making.
- Patient records were often inconsistent across the different hospital systems.
- High IT maintenance costs were required to support multiple outdated platforms.
Solutions We Offered
JadeQuest's solution was to unify all disparate systems by developing a comprehensive integration layer and a centralized data warehouse, enabling seamless interoperability and real-time data sharing.
System Integration
We implemented a robust API gateway and middleware solution that acted as a central communication hub. This allowed the different legacy platforms to connect and exchange data securely and efficiently, breaking down the existing data silos.
Data Warehouse
A centralized data warehouse was designed and deployed to store, process, and analyze data from all 8 hospitals. This provided a single source of truth for patient records and operational data, enabling powerful analytics and reporting capabilities.
Process Automation
Key administrative and clinical workflows were identified and automated using modern workflow tools. This reduced the burden of manual tasks, minimized the potential for human error, and freed up staff to focus on patient care.
Implementation Process
The 15-month project was delivered in three phases. The initial 3-month Assessment & Planning phase included a full system audit and integration planning. The 8-month Integration & Deployment phase focused on building the API gateway and data warehouse. The final 4 months were dedicated to Automation & Optimization, including workflow implementation and staff training.
Results
The project successfully achieved full system interoperability across all 8 hospitals, leading to vastly improved data accuracy, streamlined operations, and a significant return on investment.
Integration Outcomes
100% system interoperability achieved between all legacy platforms.
90% improvement in data accuracy due to centralized data management.
50% reduction in duplicate administrative and clinical processes.
300% ROI realized within 2 years of project completion.
