About This MicroSim

This graph shows how a graph database integrates fragmented healthcare data into one unified patient view. A single master patient record HAS_ENCOUNTER for office visits, ED visits, and hospitalizations; each encounter is SOURCED_FROM a different system (Epic EHR, claims database, lab interface, pharmacy), and encounters carry diagnoses. Because every source attaches to the same patient node, a query can answer questions that span EHR, claims, lab, and pharmacy data at once.

How to Use

Follow the HAS_ENCOUNTER edges from the central master patient record to each encounter, then the SOURCED_FROM edges to the system that supplied it — notice that visits, claims, labs, and pharmacy data all converge on one patient. This convergence is the value of graph-based integration: instead of siloed records, every source contributes to a single connected view. Drag nodes and use the navigation buttons to explore.
