A governed clinical data platform that passed audit with zero critical findings

Meridian wanted to unify clinical and operational data for new patient-facing features, without putting protected health information at risk.

Proof, not adjectives

What the engagement changed, in numbers.

Each figure is verified with Meridian Health and cited to its source, so it can be defended, not just quoted.

02Challenge and approach
The challenge

Where they started.

Meridian's data sat in a dozen systems that did not agree with each other. Reporting took days, access was inconsistent, and an upcoming audit had the team worried. They needed one trusted source of data and the controls to prove it was safe.

What we did

The work, in order.

  1. 01

    We built a governed lakehouse on Azure with clear ownership, lineage, and role-based access mapped to HIPAA safeguards.

  2. 02

    Pipelines were rebuilt to be reliable and observable, so the numbers were current rather than a week old.

  3. 03

    Security was designed in: encryption, centralized logging, least-privilege identity, and a documented access model.

  4. 04

    We ran a mock audit, closed the gaps it found, and left runbooks the team uses to stay ready.

03In their words
For the first time we can answer an auditor's question with evidence, not a promise. The data platform paid for itself the week reporting went from three days to under an hour.
