A Technical Review Of Dynamic And Mixed Approach For Health Data Extraction, Transformation And Loading Process

Author(s) Adya Mishra

Abstract Healthcare data originates from a diverse array of sources—including electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory systems, wearable devices, and unstructured clinical text—making its integration a complex endeavor. Traditional extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) pipelines, though foundational, often struggle to keep pace with evolving data schemas, regulatory obligations, and the need for real-time insights. This paper provides a technical review of dynamic and mixed ETL strategies tailored specifically for health data. Dynamic approaches emphasize adaptive schema discovery, rule-based transformations, and metadata-driven designs that automatically adjust to new and updated data sources, reducing manual reconfiguration. Mixed ETL models integrate both real-time streaming and batch processing, enabling healthcare organizations to process time-critical clinical data immediately while performing more complex transformations on larger datasets at scheduled intervals. Key challenges—including data quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and the requirement for robust security—are addressed alongside recommended best practices for metadata management, rule engines, and orchestration tools. The review further highlights implementation considerations and future trends, such as AI-driven data integration, serverless architectures, and data mesh paradigms. By adopting these flexible, scalable ETL approaches, healthcare institutions can enhance the accuracy, timeliness, and security of patient data analytics—ultimately improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
