Healthcare Analytics Platform
A 6+ year embedded engineering partnership. 14+ engineers. 9 client teams. Still running.
Silicon Development has provided embedded engineering support to this publicly-traded healthcare analytics company since 2020. The engagement began through the client's acquisition of a smaller health-tech startup where SD was the primary engineering partner. It has run continuously as a staff-augmentation partnership through multiple reorganizations, a major platform migration, and a Databricks rollout.

How the engagement runs
SD engineers are embedded as named members of client teams with direct reporting lines to client engineering managers. They participate in the client's own performance review system, carry responsibility for named end-customer accounts, and work inside the client's tools, processes, and release rhythm.
The engagement spans clinical quality measures, data infrastructure, business intelligence, and platform operations. The end customers are healthcare systems across the US, UK, and Middle East.
This is not a managed services arrangement. The engineers work inside the client's organization the same way any other team member does.
What the work produced
Selected outcomes from the most recent reporting window and the cumulative engagement.
Clinical measures certification
155 HEDIS, 60 CMS, and 193 MIPS quality measures certified in 2025. SD engineers were responsible for both technical implementation and clinical alignment.
Rules Engine stability
Out-of-memory errors reduced from several per month to a few per year. SD's engineer took ownership of diagnosing production failures, profiling memory, and implementing long-term fixes.
Databricks modernization
Readmission and Length of Stay metrics delivered to production on Databricks. SD's architect contributed directly to migrating legacy rule-based code to a distributed processing architecture.
Commercial expansion
Order Set Dashboard migrated from Power BI to Tableau, expanding the client's addressable market to Tableau-native healthcare organizations.
End-customer delivery
Supported a successful Epic Clinical Implementation production go-live at a major US academic medical center. SD's data engineer became a key technical reference for a multi-facility hospital network account.
Engineer growth
An SD engineer grew from contributor to architect over four years and led the v2 Measure Results system redesign. The new structure gives the client more flexible, transparent output for their flagship quality measures product.
What the client said
From the client's own performance reviews and internal communications.
“Continued top notch performance by the Silicon Development team!”
Year-end operations review, 2024
“He consistently goes above and beyond for our clients. He's an asset on my team.”
