MediQuant is a data migration and health data archiving company for hospitals, health systems and medical practices. It offers healthcare organizations the opportunity to retire legacy applications while maintaining compliance needs. Plus, they keep important metainformation about the healthcare data so that the archive can be searched and data can be retrieved quickly. In a recent interview with Mike McGuire, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy, we dive into the wide variety of new products and features that MediQuant announced leading into the HIMSS conference.
For example, they can now create patient summaries from an organization’s full health data archive so that a doctor can see the most salient facts about a patient before a visit, without spending a lengthy time looking through all the archived health data. MediQuant also uses AI to retrieve health information from unstructured data, which they call “non-discrete” data. They also are working to provide different kinds of summaries for different medical specialties so the information is user specific. If a clinician wants to see more details, the summaries provide a link back into the archived record for each piece of data.
Some of their other new features include support for DICOM images and revenue cycle data. Often healthcare organizations need to archive DICOM images from legacy systems that can’t be put in their PACS. MediQuant archives them to allow these images to be retrieved and compared to more recent imaging. Plus, they provide those DICOM images in a lossless format so that all detail is present. Patient accounting data can also be stored in MediQuant’s DataArk archive. This is done in a format where the healthcare organization can continue working on this data even from the archive.
The MediQuant interface makes it easy to see how old data is, how much it’s being used, and whether it’s old enough to be deleted according to regulations. This is a powerful feature that helps healthcare organizations address risk and cost.
Another new feature is ApplicationArk, which aids application rationalization by indicating the state of each application: whether it’s in active use, just being viewed, etc. Application rationalization has become an important effort in most provider organizations. This tool gives them some structure to assess which applications they have in their organization and the state of each application.
If you want to see some of the great new features that MediQuant is rolling out to their customers and how health data archiving is moving past a static archive, you’ll enjoy this interview with Mike McGuire from MediQuant.
