Building Robust Healthcare Applications: A Layered Approach at Siftia

At siftia , our journey has been driven by a relentless pursuit of creating transformative healthcare applications. Our mission has always been clear: to develop robust, scalable, and compliant software solutions that address the ever-evolving needs of an interoperable and value-based healthcare industry. Reflecting on this journey, it’s evident how our way-of-work (WOW), based on a structured, layered approach to application development, has been pivotal. This article aims to share the foundational layers that underpin this WOW, each building on the last to ensure our technologies not only meet but exceed the demanding standards of healthcare providers.

Take, for example, our work on the SOAR platform, an electronic health record system designed for the addiction recovery clinical management sector. The challenge was profound, rooted in a real-world scenario where precision and reliability can dramatically affect recovery outcomes. This narrative sets the stage for our layered approach, which we meticulously applied to meet these complex demands.

Our mission has always been clear: to develop robust, scalable, and compliant software solutions that address the ever-evolving needs of an interoperable and value-based healthcare industry.

Cloud-Based Application Architectures (Base Layer): Our foundational layer involves deploying cloud-based architectures that ensure scalability, security, and high availability. For the SOAR project, this meant creating an infrastructure that could support the agile needs of addiction recovery providers, adapt to regulatory changes, and handle large datasets securely and efficiently.

Data Management Layer (Data-Centric Development): At the core of our applications lies robust data management, crucial for handling sensitive health information. Compliant with interoperability standards like FHIR and security standards like HIPAA, this layer enabled us to manage intricate data interactions within SOAR, ensuring that every piece of data could be securely accessed and analyzed to support life-changing decisions. The robust data governance allows us to facilitate access to multiple development teams with the RBAC access to the data they need to build new services.

Microservice Architectures (Service Layer): Our adoption of microservice architectures allows for the modular and maintainable development of application components. This flexibility was key in the SOAR project, where individual components could be updated or scaled without disrupting the entire system. This facilitated rapid deployment with multiple development teams and iterative improvements, crucial for adapting to the evolving needs of addiction recovery management.

Product Owner Support Tools (Application Layer): At the top layer, we equip product owners with tools to monitor data quality, application health, and customer experience. During the SOAR project, these tools provided our clients with insights into operational metrics and system performance, ensuring that the solution not only met but reshaped their expectations.
