Building a Scalable, HIPAA‑Compliant Healthcare Document Processing Pipeline in .NET & Azure

Quick Answer

A deep dive into architecting a production‑grade Healthcare Document Processing Pipeline—covering AI extraction, FHIR integration, vector search, and compliance at scale.

In my experience, the biggest cost is not the AI model, but the orchestration that turns raw scans into audit‑ready FHIR resources. The right mix of services can reduce latency by 30‑50% while keeping the bill below 10% of the raw compute budget.

Choose services that expose a BAA and native hybrid search (Azure Cognitive Search) to avoid a second compliance layer.
