A Modern Data Warehouse for Tomorrow's Healthcare Needs
Premier IncDatabricks SQL · Genie Code · Databricks Assistant
Premier, a U.S. healthcare improvement company serving two out of three U.S. healthcare providers, migrated from a mix of Teradata, Azure Synapse and Oracle to Databricks SQL to support an AI-first strategy and deliver AI-ready data for products including Quality Enterprise (a benchmarking tool used by 20,000+ users) and INsights (an AI-ready analytics platform used by 77 health systems). Because Databricks SQL runs on the same unified platform as Databricks' AI and ML capabilities, Premier can prepare and serve AI-ready data directly from its warehouse. Premier's 500+ field consultants use AI features including Genie Code and Databricks Assistant to generate SQL queries and speed up analysis; the company reports patient flow analyses that once took days now complete in under three hours. Premier projects roughly $1M in annual savings, 30%+ improvement in ad-hoc analytics development, and 40% improvement in developer productivity for one of its first migrated teams.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Premier processes massive amounts of data in a regulated industry known for strict compliance requirements and a fragmented data landscape. Payers, providers, independent practitioners, and suppliers all generate data in fragmented systems across the healthcare ecosystem that are difficult to integrate, and strict privacy regulations make the challenge even greater. With Teradata and Synapse, cost efficiency and concurrency became harder to optimize as usage increased at scale.
The solution
By migrating from a mix of existing data warehouses (Teradata, Azure Synapse and Oracle) to Databricks SQL, Premier addressed data readiness, performance and rising demand across its solutions. With Databricks SQL Serverless, Premier can scale efficiently and allocate compute by workload. Premier's 500+ on-the-ground consultants now benefit from AI features integrated into Databricks, such as Genie Code and Databricks Assistant, which can help generate SQL queries, explain complex code, and identify and fix errors.
Reported business value
Premier projects roughly $1M in annual savings, 30%+ improvement in ad-hoc analytics development in the advisory group, and 40% improvement in developer productivity in one of the first migrated teams; consultants can now complete a patient flow analysis in less than three hours that previously could take days.

Novo Nordisk builds AI drug discovery platform on Azure with Microsoft Research
Novo Nordisk partnered with Microsoft Research to build an AI platform on Azure AI and data stacks spanning regulatory affairs, early research, drug discovery and trial design, using Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Kubernetes Service, with Power BI and Power Apps for collaboration. The platform includes a copilot for researchers, shared reasoning-chain templates, and governance/auditing of how data and models are used. The teams published early results on predictive AI models for cardiovascular disease risk detection, including an algorithm that Novo Nordisk says predicts patients' cardiovascular risk better than the best clinical standards, drawing on more than 100 years of insulin research data.

CDPHP, a not-for-profit health plan serving 400,000 members in Upstate New York, used AWS services including Amazon Comprehend Medical, Amazon Textract, and Amazon SageMaker to automate its data processing pipeline for unstructured medical records and health data. The organization processed over seven million records during initial migration and now processes 3,000 electronic health records weekly. CDPHP achieved a 60% improvement in overall efficiency and reduced HEDIS report generation from 4-5 days (three data scientists) to two reports produced daily.
Mayo Clinic deploys NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD to accelerate pathology foundation models
Mayo Clinic deployed an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA DGX B200 systems to support foundation model development for pathomics, drug discovery and precision medicine. In partnership with Aignostics, Mayo Clinic built the Atlas pathology foundation model, trained on more than 1.2 million histopathology whole-slide images. The new infrastructure is reducing four weeks of pathology slide analysis work to one week.

Myriad Genetics speeds document processing with AWS GenAI Intelligent Document Processing Accelerator
Myriad Genetics partnered with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center to replace an Amazon Textract/Comprehend pipeline with Amazon Bedrock foundation models (Nova Pro for classification, Nova Premier for extraction) using the open-source GenAI IDP Accelerator. Document classification accuracy rose from 94% to 98%, classification cost per page fell 77% (3.1 cents to 0.7 cents), and classification time fell 80% (8.5 minutes to 1.5 minutes per document). Automated key information extraction reached 90% accuracy matching the manual baseline, with a projected $132K in annual savings and 300 hours saved monthly across 9,000 prior authorizations in the Women's Health unit alone.
