Case Study: Yorkshire & Humber Care Record achieves faster, more secure access to health data with Looker

Yorkshire & Humber Care Record Connecting data in the cloud to improve people’s lives

Yorkshire & Humber Care Record (YHCR) needed a secure, scalable way to improve access to health and care data across northern England without forcing hospitals and clinics to replace their existing systems. To meet these needs, YHCR chose Looker as part of its Google Cloud-based analytics approach, alongside other cloud services, to support clinicians, researchers, and care providers with better access to records and insights.

Looker and Google Cloud helped YHCR enable fast, federated access to patient data while maintaining strong governance, privacy, and encryption controls. The solution delivered major performance gains, with queries that once took five or six hours now returning in seconds, while also improving remote access, reducing duplicate tests, and helping diagnoses and treatments happen faster and more consistently.
