MiHIN: Manual compliance oversight reduced by 80%.

The problem

Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services is the state-designated entity for health information exchange in Michigan. Every application ran on its own on-premises hardware, scaling meant buying and installing equipment, and a hardware failure in a busy season could leave clinicians without patient histories. The IT team spent its time patching servers.

The scope

Migration of the statewide exchange from on-premises servers to AWS, then ongoing operation, security, and compliance of the environment.

What we did

• Replaced a web of VPN connections with secure API tools and TLS certificate exchange, removing a key barrier to migration.
• Moved servers to Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS as a first step, then helped MiHIN adopt serverless services and the Amazon Neptune graph database.
• Architected for high availability with load balancers and auto-scaling groups.
• Put Cloudticity Oxygen in place so resources are preconfigured to be secure and HIPAA compliant, with real-time compliance dashboards.

The result

MiHIN migrated all of its on-premises workloads and reduced manual oversight by 80% with real-time compliance. Its teams now build application features at a larger scale and faster speed, and use graph data to prepare for AI.

“The sheer volume of work that I would have without Cloudticity would force me to double both my dev-ops and my security team. Cloudticity is on top of what the healthcare industry needs, and they're already preparing to deliver it before I even realize that I need it.”
