FHIR at Scale: Unlock Real-World Healthcare Data Without Moving It

Unlocking Real-World Data Access with FHIR and Cloud-Native Architecture

Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on real-world data to power research, analytics, and clinical innovation. Yet, accessing and operationalizing data from electronic health record systems such as Epic Clarity remains complex, slow, and resource intensive, often requiring bespoke pipelines, data duplication, and ongoing maintenance.

This whitepaper presents a large-scale, production FHIR-based data retrieval from Epic Clarity, demonstrating how Lifebit’s Data Lakehouse enables standards-based access to real-world healthcare data at a scale rarely achieved in practice.

It shows how teams can securely retrieve and transform population-scale datasets using FHIR, while querying and analyzing data directly at source, without duplicating or exporting sensitive information.
