Access to data

Large healthcare organizations usually have a greater number of EHR systems that are in use simultaneously. While some of these systems are built in-house, others may be hosted through EHR vendors. As every EHR has its own backend database, pulling information from all of them could prove to be a tedious and time-consuming process. During such events, healthcare providers can turn to either an EHR conversion company to bring disparate data together and then leave it to the provider’s healthcare business intelligence team or leave the whole process of collecting information to a healthcare business intelligence company. Either way, the process will be handled by savvy businesses that are well-versed with EHR systems on the market, as well as their unique attributes.

High data sensitivity

Healthcare companies not only deal with the financial and personal information of their patients’ but also record sensitive patient and clinical data regulated by the strict HIPAA rules. They require extra security while handling. When it comes to effectively managing data, healthcare providers must think through the strategy of managing access to confidential information, distributing roles, and ensure data security across all sources and data warehouses.

While the volume and value of healthcare data are breaking new ground, many payers and providers are struggling to keep up with the capabilities needed to support and deliver the basics.
