Every second, an exponential amount of healthcare data is created and mined for valuable insights. A staggering 30% of the world’s data volume is currently generated by the healthcare industry. The compound annual growth rate of healthcare data will reach 36% by 2025 – rising 6% faster than manufacturing, 10% faster than financial services and 11% faster than entertainment.1  

A pivot from treatment to prevention 

With an increasingly tech-savvy society embracing connected devices and the growing consumerization of healthcare, new innovations usher in new possibilities. Research shows the average number of digital device interactions is exploding – going from 1,426 in 2020 to 4,909 by 2025.2 How can an industry that has been reticent to change best position itself for the future?  

For one, building on existing systems to improve operational efficiency is a great place to start. Even with advances in technology and interoperability, many integrated health systems, hospitals, physician offices and payers rely on fax as the standard for document exchange.  

OpenText is helping leading healthcare organizations prioritize patient experiences with intelligent document delivery. More than 4 billion digital fax pages per year are processed in our global network.

Automate manual tasks and reduce labor-intensive workflows 

Every second counts in healthcare. Secure healthcare data delivery and capture solutions use digital fax, enabled workflows and integrations with electronic medical records (EMR) to improve efficiency, decrease costs and improve care coordination. Freeing up precious time and resources allows your team to focus on what truly matters: patient care. 

Optimize workflows to gain patient insights  

Insights are the key to unlocking better patient outcomes. Go beyond simple automation and transform raw data into actionable insights. By optimizing workflows and integrating advanced analytics capabilities, healthcare organizations can glean valuable insights into patient preferences, behaviors, and trends. With this newfound understanding, providers can personalize care delivery and improve patient satisfaction. 

Strengthen information governance 

Maintaining robust information governance practices is crucial for healthcare organizations. Our solution provides a secure, compliant framework for managing sensitive healthcare data. By automatically classifying and securing documents based on predefined criteria, we ensure that patient information always remains protected. With built-in audit trails and access controls, healthcare organizations can maintain compliance with regulatory requirements while fostering trust and confidence among patients and stakeholders.
