Standardize Apps and Solutions Using Google Cloud Healthcare API

Google Cloud Healthcare API allows the end users to standardize the data exchange between healthcare applications and solutions hosted on Google Cloud Platform. Google Cloud Healthcare API provides a fully managed, highly scalable, integrated environment for building clinical and analytics solutions on Google Cloud Platform. It provides a path for analytics and machine learning capabilities with inbuilt connectors for streaming of  data in Dataflow and query the data with BigQuery.

Cloud Healthcare API can be very helpful in implementing the following industry standards:

• Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
• Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) DSTU2, STU3, and R4 standards
• Health Level Seven Version 2.x (HL7v2)

Benefits of API 

• Automation: With the help of APIs, developers can work faster and update the workflows accordingly.
• Higher Scope: Integrating an API into a system, an application layer helps to distribute information smoothly to other systems and introduce services to end users.
• Efficiency: When access is provided to an API, data contents generated can be published automatically and these are available to other applications. 
• Developer Friendly: API organizes the information into datasets with one or more specific stores per set. Each store invokes REST functions.

Features of Google Cloud Healthcare API

• Ingest, Curate, and Retrieve Messages: Integrating healthcare applications with the Cloud API to ingest messages, which in turn will interact with other applications and give notifications through fully managed REST APIs which are in JSON format. 
• Store and Manage Data: Integrating the solutions with the Cloud Healthcare API’s, it can import the data directly into the Cloud Healthcare API from Cloud Storage. 
• Managing API and Gaining Actionable Insights: While accessing the Cloud SQL for data querying, first this API must be enabled from the console so that the developer can integrate other services to gain access to data.
• Higher Data Security and Data Privacy: Cloud Healthcare API is built on multilayered security that has an advantage of edge and endpoint security, which includes data loss prevention tools, policy controls, identity management, 256bit encrypted keys.
• Anomaly Investigation: Identification of API traffic and gained insight for API traffic patterns and processing time which in terms will be helpful for Visualisation APIs generation and time taken for API processing.
