Case Study: Aspen Physician Network achieves unified, HIPAA-compliant specialist care coordination with Heroku

Aspen Physician Network unifies care for 3 to 5 specialists with Heroku

Aspen Physician Network, a specialist-focused clinically integrated network, faced the challenge of unifying patient data across dozens of independent practices that used different electronic health record systems. They needed to regain control over their sensitive patient data after a third-party provider discontinued a critical service, all while ensuring HIPAA compliance. To solve this, they turned to vendor Heroku and its Heroku Shield platform.

Heroku provided the secure, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure Aspen required. Using Heroku Shield, Postgres, and Connect, they built a solution that integrates data from a Health Information Exchange, normalizes it, and pushes it into Salesforce Health Cloud. This gave specialists a unified view of patient care. The Heroku-powered platform is multi-tenant, allowing Aspen to serve multiple independent practices cost-effectively while restoring their data sovereignty and creating a competitive advantage.
