Case Study: Ontada achieves faster, secure clinical data sharing with Databricks

Harnessing the power of data for healing

Ontada, an oncology technology and insights business within McKesson, needed a better way to manage and extract value from rapidly growing clinical data. Its legacy on-premises infrastructure and complex data warehouse made it hard to scale data products, enforce governance for sensitive PHI, and share data efficiently across its ecosystem using its iKnowMed EHR environment.

Ontada turned to Databricks and the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to consolidate infrastructure, reduce manual work, and streamline clinical data processing and sharing with Delta Sharing. With Databricks, Ontada eliminated cumbersome file extraction and validation steps, improved secure data exchange with partners, and sped up access to clinical insights to support better care and innovation.
