Transforming Healthcare Data Management
The company Consensus is revolutionizing the way rural healthcare facilities, including post-acute care centers and substance abuse treatment clinics, manage their faxed data. By integrating this details into their existing record systems—most of which are not compliant with FHIR standards—they enable these organizations to receive referrals from acute care hospitals. As we approach 2027, it is anticipated that a significant number of these systems will need to adopt FHIR compliance. Bevey Miner,Executive Vice President at Consensus and a seasoned professional in the healthcare sector,is actively engaged in enhancing access to medical services through both policy reform and technological advancements. She emphasizes the importance of understanding unstructured data as we increasingly rely on it for artificial intelligence applications in healthcare.

The Challenges of Unstructured Data in Healthcare
this discussion sheds light on the frequently enough-overlooked complexities surrounding health data management and service delivery. As Bevey points out, “Not every organization will have seamless interoperability like Epic systems.” This highlights a critical issue within the industry where many providers struggle with disparate systems that hinder efficient patient care.
The Future of Health Information Exchange
The ongoing evolution towards standardized health information exchange (HIE) practices underscores an urgent need for improved interoperability among various healthcare platforms. With projections indicating that by 2027 most clinical settings will be required to implement FHIR standards, organizations must prioritize upgrading their infrastructure now to avoid falling behind.
A Call for Action in Healthcare Technology Adoption
This conversation serves as a crucial reminder for stakeholders across the healthcare spectrum—from policymakers to technology developers—to collaborate effectively in addressing these challenges. The integration of advanced technologies can substantially enhance patient outcomes by ensuring timely access to comprehensive health records.
