Pervasive Integration Helps Healthcare Companies in Challenging Times

Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management and agile data integration software, is providing the flexible, cost-effective data integration required for challenging, increasingly regulated healthcare IT environments. Pervasive interoperability solutions help customers ensure they comply with and mitigate the costs of industry and government regulations, integrate and automate manual processes to reduce costs and processing time, rapidly bring on new partners, and ensure patient care processes are sound.

Healthcare CIOs are facing challenging times. While recessionary factors force many to defer or delay initiatives, there remains a growing expectancy that IT will make a critical difference in the success of pending healthcare reform and reengineering. Interest in interoperability and ERP continues to rise rapidly as the healthcare reform takes hold and healthcare organizations anticipate increased regulatory scrutiny and the need to standardize and increase workflow efficiency and cost savings.

“Health Information Technology is on the critical path to addressing the nation’s healthcare challenges, and no issue looms larger than interoperability and data integration,” stated Lou Agosta, independent industry analyst in healthcare and data warehousing. “A homogenous, single vendor, end-to-end system is no more feasible today than it was in the heyday of the ERP and CRM revolutions. Heterogeneous data integration is at least as rampant in healthcare as anywhere else in the market economy, and a state-of-the-art technology for performing data integration is on the critical path to meaningful use at the point of care and improved patient care, safety, and quality.”

“Pervasive has a robust interoperability platform and rich design environment that speeds implementation and supports a ‘deploy once, deploy anywhere, reuse many times’ approach. Our customers – hospitals, healthcare providers and software vendors – will be positioned to meet the demands of a changing environment.” said Matt Nelson, Partner, Financial Resource Group.

Pervasive Data Integrator™ and Pervasive Data Profiler™ support virtually every healthcare compliance requirement and message format, including HIPAA 5010 (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) , Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) x12, Health Level 7 (HL7), National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP), Uniform Bill 92 (UB92) and Uniform Bill 04 (UB04). In addition to streamlining the integration process, Pervasive integration and profiling tools help ensure data quality and data governance, identifying duplicate, corrupt or incomplete files. Delivered as a “hub and spoke” solution, Pervasive Integration Hub™ enables developers, IT personnel and analysts to easily manage and quickly configure the processing of many diverse, disparate data feeds and multiple methods of communication. This enables them to incorporate data quality analysis and manage constantly changing business rules while avoiding costly restarts. Likewise, Pervasive Universal CONNECT!™ provides connectivity to virtually any on-demand or on-premises application.

Advance Plan for Health’s managing director of information, Chris Andrews, noted, “Pervasive Software revamped our system with a new architecture schema to improve performance, reduce load times, and gain added flexibility to accommodate additional data growth and a larger universe of users. Our data was transformed into information – and delivered faster than ever before – across richer data sets – increasing our visibility to decision-driving information.”

“Managing the exponential growth of highly sensitive healthcare data can be a daunting task,” said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager of Integration Products. “We recognize the struggles healthcare and claims organizations are facing and have developed targeted solutions to tackle the intricate rule-sets and formats while remaining easy to implement and maintain by already taxed IT staff. Pervasive provides the flexibility to manage disparate data sources, the scalability to grow with the organization’s needs, and the efficiency to make data integration and data validation a high-ROI investment.”
