Industry Scenario — Healthcare
The team: a health system's informatics group + a research team. The goal: clinical summarization and a safe intake assistant — without PHI leaving the environment and with least-privilege access.
The journey
Build · 1 — connect your data
- Connect the encrypted clinical-notes store (GCS) with strict access controls. Nothing is replicated into a SaaS pipeline.
- Decision: the connection is the boundary; PHI-bearing sources are visible only to roles that need them.
Build · 2 — explore the catalog
- Explore the catalog: researchers see fuller sets, other roles see de-identified views. RBAC + lineage make discovery safe.
Build · 3 — train the model
- Fine-tune a summarization model on handoff-note structure and abbreviations (instruction/output JSONL) using the instruction preset.
- Post-train with DPO to prefer evidence-based, concise output and refuse to invent dosing advice.
- GPU smoke validates each run cheaply; the confidence cache flags "this recipe failed before."
- Decision: single-GPU LoRA keeps runs small and reviewable.
Ship — your account, your rules
- Hosted, BYO AWS, or self-hosted: start on k3ld hosted (zero infra), use BYO AWS, or fully self-host on AWS — covered by existing approvals and procurement.
- Decision: no vendor security review; the path from idea to production is internal.
Monitor — keep it honest
- Drift schedule on the summarizer's input distribution (note style changes over time).
- Data capture for replay/audit of a model touching clinical text.
Own it — share without copying
- Export the tuned model as safetensors so a partner institution can run it inside their compliant environment — the weights, not an API, cross the boundary.
What you own at the end
- A clinical summarizer + safe assistant, tuned and monitored, running hosted, BYO, or self-hosted.
- Exportable weights for partner collaborations.
- A short compliance review, because "no migration, processing where you choose" is the architecture.
