How Data Integration Automation is Driving a Revolution in Healthcare Communication Astera Centerprise helps healthcare organizations save time and costs associated with admin data management, claims processing, invoicing, and ultimately improve quality of patient care.

All of this makes data management, exchange, and reporting very challenging.

Healthcare data is stored in heterogeneous systems and formats including databases, PDFs, Excel sheets, and TXT files. Accessing the data from these individual sources manually becomes difficult, and processing this data without the use of proper integration tools and transformation features increases the chances of errors and inconsistencies. Additionally, extracting value from isolated data sources requires dedicated technical staff that can write code specifically for that purpose.

In fact, statistics from a recent public health department survey show that, on average, employees use as many as 85 different databases, spreadsheets, and software systems to manage and report the data that the department generates and receives.

Health data has grown 878% from 2016 to 2019.

In a survey, as many as 25% of healthcare providers claimed that they are unable to access and use patient information from external sources.

41% of respondents agreed to facing challenges in exchanging electronic health records (EHRs) between providers.
