Systems engineering that helps people go the distance
Healthier, more independent lives depend on health information that arrives complete, correct and on time.
Every stride is a signal
A heart rate from a wearable. A lab result. A prescription, a claim, a public-health report. One person's health is written across dozens of systems.
The work starts with the person
We follow their information across every system that serves them, and engineer the connections in between.
Synthetic patients
Testing without real patients
People
Engineers at CDC and Georgia Tech preparing for FHIR Connectathons.
Problem
Real patient records can’t be used for testing.
Work
A synthetic patient generator wired to the MELD Sandbox.
Result
Realistic test populations, exported as Bulk FHIR.
Impact
Complex tested software with no patient risk.
Data standards
One version of the truth
People
CDC programs submitting data elements to ONC.
Problem
Old and disjointed systems.
Work
One Dynamics 365 workspace for USCDI and USCDI+.
Result
Mapped data elements, each with an owner, status and history.
Impact
Traceable and standard decisions.
Live reporting
Today’s numbers, not last quarter’s
People
CDC leadership and the Data Modernization teams.
Problem
Quarterly slide decks, out of date on arrival.
Work
An embedded Power BI dashboard on live data.
Result
Updated numbers for decision making.
Impact
Decisions made on today’s numbers.
Accountable automation
Automation a person answers for
People
Integration teams.
Problem
Uninspected and failed automations.
Work
Agents proposed mapping, human approval.
Result
Visible, reproducible and reversible actions.
Impact
Faster integration with accountability intact.
