TRAC for healthcare

[jstclair2019]

I'd like to collaborate and see if it's possible to apply TRAC for healthcare financial transactions. Happy to discuss!

Hello and thank you for the question, the short answer is yes! Of course, depending on exactly what you are trying to do. A few initial thoughts are below, I've also sent a DM to your GitHub address, it would be great to chat more on the subject and we can add any helpful thoughts to this thread.

By design, there are no domain-specific concepts in the TRAC platform. This is primarily to decouple ownership of business and technology concerns, but it has the nice side-effect that the platform can be used in any business domain, so long as the shape of the data and workflow fit the patterns TRAC can handle.

In terms of data & analytics, TRAC is designed for batch analytics, which can be scheduled or ad-hoc. Data pipelines can be of any complexity, with branching, joining, composition etc., any data or analytic step can be swapped out, overlaid or parameterised. It works particularly well for complex landscapes where data and processes are owned and managed by a number of different teams. Business workflow can be any series of steps, which can be associated with rules, evidence or attestations. Our main focus on business workflow is (a) sign-off and (b) collaboration, although again the platform does not prescibe how workflows are designed or used.

In case it is helpful, here is a link for the intro page in our public docs:
