GCP Healthcare Dataset
A dataset is a container in your Google Cloud project that holds modality-specific healthcare data. Datasets contain other data stores, such as FHIR stores, DICOM stores, and HL7v2 stores, which in turn hold their own types of healthcare data.

Google Cloud Healthcare Dataset
The Google Cloud Healthcare Dataset service allows you to manage and access healthcare data in a secure, compliant, and scalable manner. It supports storing, processing, and analyzing healthcare data in formats like DICOM, FHIR, and HL7v2.
Design Decisions
- Security Roles: The dataset assigns IAM roles for both dataset viewers and administrators with conditions to restrict their permissions to datasets matching the specified name prefix.
- Region Availability: The dataset is created in the specified Google Cloud region, ensuring data locality and compliance with regional regulations.
- API Enablement: Necessary APIs such as
iam.googleapis.comandhealthcare.googleapis.comare enabled to ensure the proper functioning of the dataset.
Runbook
Unable to Access the Healthcare Dataset
This issue arises when users cannot access the dataset due to permission issues.
Use gcloud to check the current IAM roles and bindings. This code retrieves the IAM policy for the healthcare dataset and helps determine if the correct permissions are assigned:
gcloud healthcare datasets get-iam-policy YOUR_DATASET_NAME --location=YOUR_REGION
Replace YOUR_DATASET_NAME and YOUR_REGION with the actual dataset name and region.
The output should display the IAM policy bindings. Verify that the roles roles/healthcare.datasetViewer and roles/healthcare.datasetAdmin are properly assigned.
Dataset Not Found
If you encounter an error indicating that the dataset does not exist, you can verify its existence using the following command:
gcloud healthcare datasets list --location=YOUR_REGION
This command lists all the healthcare datasets in the specified region. Ensure that your dataset is listed in the output.
Error Creating Dataset
If there is an error during dataset creation, ensure that the necessary APIs are enabled. Check which services are enabled:
gcloud services list --enabled
Verify that iam.googleapis.com and healthcare.googleapis.com are among the enabled services. If not, enable them using:
gcloud services enable iam.googleapis.com healthcare.googleapis.com
After ensuring the APIs are enabled, attempt to create the dataset again.
