Anybody who has been working in the U.S. healthcare system during the last decade or so has heard the term “big data” used with increasing frequency. Small wonder. In the healthcare world, this catchphrase is referring to the general rise of information technology that makes data both easily accessible and actionable in the consumer marketplace.
How does that translate to the medical world? Hospitals and health systems strive to provide outstanding care to the patients they serve. For them, big data means not only the ability to store and access patient information, but to also have the most current information on hand to provide the most accurate, optimal treatment. That translates into having current, correct patient information in their Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms and other document management systems. Otherwise, treatment teams may face care-planning delays, and the facilities and systems themselves can suffer from slow and inefficient operations.
Healthcare data also must meet the increasingly strict interoperability requirements to populate patient information portals and outside databases such as state-operated Health Information Exchanges, or HIEs.

Healthcare’s technology advances require rapid and reliable data transmission Hospitals and health systems are benefiting from the remarkable advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics. They are building robust healthcare electronic document management systems to support staff, inform treatment goals and more. Those technology ecosystems are enhanced by a fax solution that can quickly and securely transmit data, as well as use its own analytics and artificial intelligence properties to extract and properly route information Whether it’s paper transmissions or a digital process (or both), fax is the glue connecting the teams within hospitals and across large health systems. A massive volume of data moves within healthcare electronic document management systems every day. An outdated or inefficient fax solution can put the brakes on those transmissions, contributing to inefficient operations and delayed care. A fax solution that can assess data, support workflows, and enhance interoperability Simply changing vendors or systems isn’t a magic bullet. Hospitals and health systems need a fax solution and technology partner that meets today’s clinical document management needs and anticipates those of tomorrow. Concord’s longstanding partnerships with dozens of hospitals, health systems and individual providers has resulted in a platform of fully digital, turnkey fax solutions that create ease, efficiency, and quality improvement through:- Programmatic workflow and process automation
