Healthcare at the Speed of Events

The exponential adoption of the event streaming platform has been remarkable over the last decade as industry and government alike seek to move towards real-time event driven capabilities. Healthcare has been no different with the approach transforming many aspects of how data is handled to improve the treatment and experience of patients.
