National Healthcare System Deploys MCP to Unify Clinical AI Across 45 Hospitals
A top-3 US healthcare system operating 45 hospitals and 200+ outpatient facilities had deployed 18 different clinical AI models across radiology, pathology, clinical decision support, and patient engagement. Each model accessed patient data through custom HL7/FHIR integrations, creating 150+ bespoke connectors with inconsistent security controls, no unified audit trail, and growing HIPAA compliance risk. New clinical AI deployments took 9-12 months due to integration complexity.
"MCP gave us what we'd been trying to build for years — a single, secure, auditable layer between our AI models and patient data. We went from spending 9 months deploying a new clinical AI to 6 weeks, with stronger compliance than we ever had with custom integrations. ELMET's healthcare expertise was critical — they understood that in clinical AI, governance isn't a feature, it's the foundation."
