Air-Gapped HIPAA-Compliant On-Premise Document Intelligence & GraphRAG Pipeline
Zero-data-leakage architecture combining dense clinical vector search, hybrid BM25 retrieval, Knowledge Graph entity linking, and private domain SLM inference.
Target Intent: “air gapped rag document intelligence hipaa compliance”
Executive Architecture Summary
The Air-Gapped HIPAA-Compliant GraphRAG Architecture operates within an isolated Kubernetes cluster inside the hospital firewall. It ingests FHIR/HL7 clinical records, indexes them across a hybrid Qdrant vector database and Neo4j medical ontology graph (SNOMED-CT / ICD-10), and queries a quantized 14B Medical SLM with zero external network connectivity.
