Modernize your data. Protect patient trust.
Healthcare data is complex. Regulations are strict. With dbt, you can transform, govern, and audit data with confidence, ensuring HIPAA-compliant, high-quality insights across the system.
Common use cases in Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations face the challenge of unlocking insights from complex, sensitive data while meeting strict privacy and regulatory requirements. These are the high-impact ways dbt helps providers, payers, and life sciences organizations stay compliant, secure, and innovative.
Regulatory compliance & auditability
Ensure patient data transformations, definitions, and usage comply with standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. With built-in version control, audit logging, and lineage, dbt makes it easy to prove compliance and maintain trust.
More reliable reporting for patient outcomes
Establish a single, trusted source of truth with standardized definitions across clinical, research, and operational data. dbt enforces consistency and transparency, reducing errors and enabling more reliable reporting for patient outcomes and research trials.
Protect sensitive patient and research data
Protect sensitive patient and research data with role-based access controls, encryption, and secure architecture. dbt helps healthcare and life sciences organizations safeguard protected health information (PHI) while aligning with regulatory standards.
Handle large scale healthcare data workloads
Handle complex, large-scale healthcare and genomic data workloads without sacrificing speed or stability. dbt’s cloud-native architecture supports interoperability, clinical research pipelines, and enterprise growth, even as data volumes and regulatory demands increase.
Our data bottleneck problem stemmed from having one central data team review data requests. As we mature, we’ve leveraged our tools to give embedded data teams more and more autonomy so we can scale effectively.
