THE CHALLENGE

The customer, a leading healthcare solutions provider, recognized for its expertise in software, AI, and services, faced significant cloud infrastructure challenges following a merger with another healthcare-focused organization and the acquisition of a new medical coding system. These events introduced substantial complexities, requiring urgent and effective solutions to maintain growth and support expanding services.

Complexity of Current Architecture

The customer's existing cloud infrastructure, primarily based on AWS, was not optimally structured for the new demands following their merger and the addition of a new medical coding platform.

Scalability Issues

A key challenge was to scale the medical coding system from serving 6 hospitals to 35 in a short period, with an ambitious goal to reach 700 hospitals within two years. The existing single-account AWS setup was insufficient for these scalability needs.

Security and Compliance Concerns

As healthcare operations expanded, strengthening security and compliance became a top priority to safeguard sensitive medical data. The merger and acquisition heightened the need for robust, healthcare-specific regulatory compliance measures.

SOLUTION

To address these challenges, Bespin Global led a suite of targeted solutions focused on system integration, scalability, and operational efficiency.

Cloud Environment Optimization and AWS Integration

Bespin Global leveraged its AWS expertise to integrate the newly acquired medical coding system seamlessly. This also involved aligning Azure-based operations with AWS functionalities, ensuring a smooth and unified environment.

Serverless Architecture Implementation

Recognizing the need for scalability and efficiency, Bespin Global guided the customer through a transition to a serverless architecture using AWS Fargate. This move to AWS Fargate facilitated a more scalable, cost-effective, and flexible operational environment, crucial for handling the increased workload from the expanded service coverage.

Account Structure Re-architecture

To manage multiple versions of the medical coding system and delineate development, testing, and deployment, Bespin Global overhauled the AWS account structure. Separating these stages into distinct AWS accounts enhanced both security and organizational clarity.

Compliance and Security Measures

Leveraging a deep understanding of healthcare regulations, Bespin Global implemented advanced security protocols and rigorous compliance checks aligned with industry standards. This fortified the cloud environment to better protect sensitive health data.

Disaster Recovery Strategy Development

Bespin Global developed a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, including data backups, regional replication, and clear emergency protocols. This ensured robust business continuity and operational resilience in the face of unforeseen events.

Through these strategic solutions, Bespin Global significantly enhanced the customer’s cloud capabilities, aligning with its ambitious growth strategy while maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

RESULTS & BENEFITS

The successful implementation of this comprehensive cloud transformation strategy led to tangible, high-impact results for the customer:

Enhanced Scalability

With the new AWS multi-account structure, the customer can now scale its operations more efficiently. This transition enabled the customer to scale its medical coding system system from servicing 6 hospitals to 35 in the short term, laying a strong foundation for the planned expansion to 700 hospitals within two years. This scalability was a crucial factor in meeting their ambitious growth objectives.

Elevated Security and Compliance

The segmentation of accounts allows for more robust security measures tailored to each operational aspect. This approach ensures that the customer can meet stringent health standards and security concerns, providing peace of mind to their clients.

Streamlined Operations

The re-architected account structure, resulting from the optimized use of AWS Fargate and the AWS Control Tower, simplified resource management and reduced operational complexities. This led to faster and more efficient deployment cycles, enabling the customer to focus more on service delivery and less on infrastructural complexities.

Robust Disaster Recovery

The newly implemented DR strategy ensured the customer’s operational resilience, ensuring that they were well-equipped to handle any unforeseen disruptions while maintaining continuous service delivery.

By collaborating with Bespin Global, this healthcare solutions provider overcame its integration, scalability, and modernization challenges. The partnership not only improved day-to-day efficiency but also equipped them with a secure, future-ready cloud infrastructure for continued expansion and innovation.
