Healthcare Data
Consultant
for Strategy,
Governance & Architecture

What a Healthcare Data Consultant Does

Healthcare data consulting shapes strategy, governance, and architecture under HIPAA and hospital operations—not generic IT. How it differs from BI and data engineering:

STRATEGY & GOVERNANCE, NOT DASHBOARDS ALONE

We define data ownership, classification, retention, and access models before BI tools consume data—so your CDO can defend decisions to compliance and the board.

We define data ownership, classification, retention, and access models before BI tools consume data—so your CDO can defend decisions to compliance and the board.

DIFFERENT FROM A BI CONSULTANT

BI engagements optimize KPIs and visualization. Data consulting answers where data lives, how it moves, who may access it, and how migrations and APIs stay auditable under HIPAA.

DIFFERENT FROM A DATA ENGINEER

Engineers implement ETL and cloud resources. We produce audit reports, governance policies, migration plans, and quality scorecards your engineers execute—reducing rework from unclear requirements.

BUILT FOR CDO, CIO & COMPLIANCE-AWARE IT

Sponsors are leaders accountable for EHR transitions, CMS interoperability mandates, breach response, and joining clinical and claims identifiers—not teams buying another analytics license.

what we do

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • DATA AUDIT REPORT
  • DATA GOVERNANCE POLICY
  • MIGRATION PLAN
  • DATA QUALITY SCORECARD
  • REGULATORY & INTEROPERABILITY ADVISORY

DATA AUDIT REPORT

Inventory of all data sources (EHR, claims, labs, HR, supply chain), quality assessment with profiling metrics, and gap analysis against governance and reporting goals—executive summary for CDO and CIO sign-off.

REGULATORY CONTEXT

HIPAA DATA HANDLING

Engagements map PHI flows, BAAs, encryption, logging, and role-based access inside your boundary—we do not recommend production PHI in unsecured sandboxes or undocumented vendor copies.

CMS FHIR API MANDATES

We align data architecture and interface inventory with Patient Access and Provider Directory expectations under the 21st Century Cures Act—resource coverage, auth patterns, and audit evidence for compliance reviews.

STATE-LEVEL PRIVACY LAWS

California, Washington, and other state healthcare privacy rules are folded into classification and retention policies so multi-state systems do not default to federal minimums only.

BREACH REMEDIATION & AUDIT TRAILS

After an incident, we help design immutable access logs, scope-of-exposure analysis data sets, and remediation playbooks that satisfy OCR expectations and internal audit committees.

CLINICAL–CLAIMS IDENTITY RESOLUTION

Regulatory reporting and value-based programs require joining MRN, billing account, and payer member IDs—we document MPI rules and stewardship before analytics or migration projects scale.

Hi, I’m Serge!
CEO & Co-founder at WTT Solutions
Do you have a new project? Or want to say "Hello"...

Here’s how you can get in touch

QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

+

What does a healthcare data consultant do?

A healthcare data consultant advises on data strategy, governance, and architecture within HIPAA and healthcare operations—not only reporting. Typical deliverables include a data audit report, governance policy, migration plan, and data quality scorecard. This differs from BI consultants (dashboards and KPIs) and data engineers (pipeline implementation).
+

When should we hire a healthcare data consultant?

Common triggers include EHR migration, greenfield governance, CMS FHIR API compliance under the 21st Century Cures Act, unifying clinical and claims identifiers, and post-breach remediation with audit trails. CDO, CIO, or compliance-aware IT directors usually sponsor these engagements.
+

How does WTT handle HIPAA, CMS FHIR, and state privacy laws?

We map PHI flows and access controls for HIPAA, align architecture with CMS FHIR API mandates, and incorporate state-level healthcare privacy requirements into classification and retention. Breach engagements include audit trail and remediation planning coordinated with your security and legal teams.
+

What is the difference between a healthcare data consultant, a BI consultant, and a data engineer?

The data consultant defines what data you have, who owns it, how it may move, and how migrations and APIs stay compliant. The BI consultant builds dashboards and metric layers on governed data. The data engineer builds and operates ETL, warehouses, and interfaces. WTT can deliver consulting artifacts first so engineering and BI phases avoid rework.
+

What deliverables does WTT provide?

We deliver a data audit report (source inventory, quality assessment, gap analysis), data governance policy (ownership, classification, access, retention), migration plan (mapping, transformation rules, testing protocol), and data quality scorecard for ongoing monitoring.
+

How long does a healthcare data consulting engagement take?

A focused data audit and governance blueprint often runs 6–10 weeks. EHR migration planning or FHIR compliance roadmaps may extend 3–6 months depending on source count and committee review cycles. Engineering build is scoped separately once artifacts are approved.
