Today, the power of healthcare data is not so much within its capture, but its dissemination and use. That’s why the industry and government together are moving to interoperability. A new era where organizations can exchange data via a common set of formats, to read and write the same file formats, and use the same protocols. This represents a sea change in healthcare communications designed to provide more accurate patient information, lower risks and increasing profitability for the continuum of care.
Sequest recognized this fundamental shift years ago and became an active and visible leader in the discussion, creation and development of industry standards.
At that point we began developing the very tools that today are helping set the standards for facilitating this new exchange of data. We will work with each of your trading partners to securely and accurately meet your individual data exchange requirements for today and into the future.
• Complete data dictionary, database schema & Entity Relationship Diagrams • MS SQL Database • Seamless interfaces to: • HL7 formats • Hospital EMRs • Laboratory and Pharmacy Systems • Payroll Systems • Scanning Software • State Reporting • EDI-payment, remittance and eligibility • Medicaid / Medicare / Private Insurance • The list grows with each successful partnership
