Case Study: Quest Diagnostics achieves better disease management and population health insights with Cloudera

Delivering Insights to Better Manage Diseases and Promote Wellness

Quest Diagnostics, a leading provider of diagnostic insights that serves roughly one-third of U.S. adults and produces over 750,000 lab results daily (20+ billion historically), faced fragmented data across multiple warehouses that made advanced analytics slow and difficult for analysts. The company needed faster, integrated access to structured and unstructured data while maintaining HIPAA-grade security to support population health initiatives and new product development.

By building an enterprise data hub on Cloudera Enterprise and using tools like Apache Spark Streaming, Tableau and Cloudera Navigator, Quest consolidated, cleansed and governed its data for analytics and real‑time processing. The result: faster, scalable analytics, the launch of Population Lab Insights, improved ability to identify at‑risk patients and gaps in care, increased operational efficiency, saved analyst time, and a HIPAA‑compliant platform for future innovation.
