28 Oct PODCAST: Unlock the Power of Health Data with IMAT’s Centralized Data Repository

In our latest Advancing Healthcare Through Data podcast interview, Mark Coetzer, VP of Business Development at IMAT Solutions, discusses the current trends, challenges, and solutions surrounding data management in healthcare, especially focusing on the need for centralized data repositories.

The rise of both value-based care and the need for seamless health data interoperability – along with fragmented and scattered EMR data – points to the rising need for Clinical Centralized Data Repositories (CDR).

IMAT Solutions offers a scalable CDR solution that is a unified system that consolidates and organizes clinical data from various sources into one accessible platform. This central hub allows all patient information from electronic health records, laboratory systems, pharmacies, and other data sources to be easily aggregated, de-duplicated, securely stored, and managed.

For health payers, IMAT’s CDR streamlines data integration for a comprehensive view of member health. This helps evaluate trends, identify care gaps, and engage members proactively, as well as ensures accurate quality reporting and compliance.

In the end, IMAT’s CDR, propels better data for making better decisions, which leads to better care. Following are key highlights from this interview:
