Features
Cloud Healthcare API provides web-native, serverless scaling optimized by Google’s infrastructure. Simply activate the API and start sending requests—no initial capacity configuration required. Although some limits exist (such as Pub/Sub quotas), capacity can expand to match usage patterns.
Cloud Healthcare API supports bulk import and export of FHIR data and DICOM data, accelerating time-to-delivery for solutions with dependencies on existing datasets, and providing a convenient API for moving data between projects.
Cloud Healthcare API organizes your healthcare information into datasets with one or more modality-specific store per set. Each store exposes both a REST and RPC interface. You can use Identity and Access Management to set fine-grained access policies.

How It Works
With support for healthcare data standards such as HL7® FHIR®, HL7® v2, and DICOM®, the Cloud Healthcare API provides a fully managed, highly scalable, enterprise-grade development environment for building clinical and analytics solutions securely on Google Cloud.
Common Uses
Import existing FHIR data into Cloud Healthcare API
Build your primary and secondary clinical data repositories using any of the major versions of the FHIR standard (R4, STU3, and DSTU2). Leverage the Cloud Healthcare API for highly performant and scalable data storage, and access to your FHIR data via fully managed REST APIs.
Healthcare Data Engine, powered by Cloud Healthcare API
Automate transformations and reconciliation of various healthcare data formats into FHIR to create a longitudinal patient record and accelerate application development, analytics, and AI/ML workflows with Google Cloud's Healthcare Data Engine.
