Healthcare data is time-oriented and diverse. HL7 (Health Level Seven International) is a set of interoperability standards, formats and definitions for exchanging data between software applications used by healthcare providers. In this session, learn how to leverage HL7 data for business value. Through a presentation and demo’s, we will discuss a variety of HL7 use cases from exploring HL7 data within Splunk, addressing missing orders investigations, queuing up integrations, and others. Also, you can learn about the health of the system that is providing these services by using Splunk ITSI.

80% of healthcare data is unstructured and the other 20% are locked in silos, paper
trails and legacy IT systems
Increasing pressure on IT-related budgets, CIOs, and IT departments for solutions that
deliver value including investing in big data and analytics
Industry and congressional testimony have serious concerns about the current levels of
interoperability across the HC ecosystem to achieve Value-Based Care
Ongoing and increasing need to demonstrate regulatory compliance and privacy
monitoring
Alarming increase in security breaches; 100M healthcare records compromised in first
half of 2015
Splunk has seen strong traction in the ecosystem for IT ops, regulatory compliance,
identifying security threats, and medical device visibility

Splunk’s Value to Healthcare IT
• Easily ingest diverse, heterogeneous healthcare data without
ETL tools, special connectors, or need to adhere to strict
backend “datastore” schemas.
• Collect data from even restricted systems (Splunk Stream).
• Easily enrich and dynamically “normalize” data at search time.
• Augment Healthcare Analytics with previously untapped
sources of data.
• Enhanced IT Service Intelligence across your healthcare
enterprise.

HL7 Standard
The Health Level Seven (HL7) standard is a framework and standards for
exchange, integration, sharing and retrieval of electronic health
information.
HL7 is the global authority on standards for interoperability of health
information technology with members in over 55 countries.
HL7’s vision is to create the best and most widely used standards in
healthcare.

Good morning everyone and welcome to SplunkLive!
I couldn’t be more excited to be here with all of you today.
Standard safe harbor statement:
There may be some forward looking statements
that we may make in this discussion
doesn’t indicate any obligation to develop any specific features
Majority of healthcare data
Machine data insights deliver value across a range of CIO’s strategic priorities for IT and the business. CIOs need to increasingly balance the need for innovation, helping drive business growth with ongoing maintenance, improving security posture among other things. With better visibility from machine data, CIO effectively address broad range of needs – helping them create a meaningful competitive advantage for the business.
And this is where Splunk could really help. We take data in from anywhere and we correlate it whether it’s semi-structured or unstructured data. And that enables a HC organization to cut through these data silo’s in order to search and analyze everything in real-time.
IT ops: Aetna improving the self-service member/customer requests
Security: for customers such as the Vancouver Clinic and Middlesex Hospital
Fraud: Surescripts
Business Analytics: Myriad Genetics
Care Coodination: iRhythm-medical device supplu chain and actual use and pt behavior coming from their medical device
HC Industry Value Chain stakeholders of “Payers, Marketplace Insurance & Fiscal Agents, Providers, Purchasers, Producers, Consolidators,” and the following is how we impact the stakeholders with applicability across the entire vertical of the HC industry…
Over the past decade, Healthcare Informatics has recognized healthcare leadership teams who have gone above and beyond in their use of information technology solutions with the Innovator Awards. But those innovators could not have achieved such success without dedicated vendor partners. To that end, Healthcare Informatics now brings the Leading Edge Awards, honoring vendors whose combination of expertise and innovation are shaping the future of healthcare systems.
Splunk was selected for the 2015 Leading Edge Award for Interoperability from Healthcare Informatics!
The reason we received the award is because Splunk enables interoperability. We collect and visualize any type of unstructured or semi-structured data in real time. As a result, healthcare organizations can drive more business value because Splunk can be applied in so many ways. Whether it’s securing PHI and your infrastructure, compliance reporting or monitoring the use of clinical devices, you can address many of your initiatives with a single platform – Splunk!
A defining characteristic of modern health care is the rapidly accelerating increase in information that is available to assist with the delivery of care and system management.
Time oriented data, 2. High diversity, 3. Some data is functional others are event logs generated by machines.
Data came from activities which are part of sequential process
Data is timestamped
Activities are interdependent discrete events
Machine data is generated by many different sources within the healthcare IT infrastructure. These sources include healthcare specific data sources such as electronic health record (EHR) systems, HL7 messaging, and connected medical devices. The data sources include core IT systems that support different applications such as desktops, servers, storage and network devices. Finally, they include all the patient facing applications and systems – portals, billing systems, claim management systems.
Machine data generated by this infrastructure shares the core characteristics of big data – lot of data (high volume), created rapidly (high velocity), from different sources (variety), and data that changes over time (variability). Getting timely and relevant insight into this data can be a source of huge value for the healthcare ecosystem.
Health Level Seven (HL7) International is one of several American National Standards Institute (ANSI) -accredited Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) operating in the healthcare arena.
HL7 provides standards for interoperability that improve care delivery, optimize workflow, reduce ambiguity and enhance knowledge transfer among all of our stakeholders, including healthcare providers, government agencies, the vendor community, fellow SDOs and patients.
Provides healthcare systems a standard for clinical and administration purposes, particularly between systems/apps responsible for patient care, medical devices, pharmacy, billing, imaging, etc.

Each message starts with an MSH
Composed of multiple segments, each ending with a single carriage return.
Each segment begins with three letters , contains specific information: EVN event, PID patient demographics, PV1 Patient Visit,
Each field has information
Sometime’s there coded, so Splunk is IDEAL to enrich!
Types of messages, ADT (admission, discharge, transfers), Orders, Reports, etc.
