Healthcare information has many zoom levels, from microcellular, tissue, organ or DNA data, to international metrics and statistics, and everything in between. When working on healthcare data platforms it's important to know at which level(s) you are working.
That will determine how you design your components, repositories, rules, APIs, etc. and when your processes change between different zoom levels, for instance, aggregating data.
The data zoom level will also determine how data is exchanged and processed. Understanding that will lead you to a better platform architecture, but not understanding at which zoom level you are working, can lead to a messy software architecture.
