In this episode, host Sandy Vance talks with Andre Sublett and Mike Stover from Concord Technologies about the idea of “practical interoperability” - technology solutions that you can implement today to help future-proof document and data exchange as we drive health data sharing. The word “interoperability” is thrown around quite a bit - but sometimes it seems out of reach for the average healthcare organization.

In this episode they talk about

• How Concord solves one of the top challenges people have (fax is not data, it's a picture of data).
• Secure and compliant data delivery solutions for healthcare providers, payers and other highly regulated businesses.

• Why so many healthcare systems still have closed APIs and how Concord solves for that.
• How Artificial Intelligence in this health data environment is giving healthcare providers the super powers needed to provide more efficient care.

Andre Sublett serves an important role at Concord Technologies, overseeing existing infrastructure and leading new solutions designed to optimize hospital operations and improve patient outcomes by integrating, acquiring, and de-identifying data in a scalable and secure way. Prior to his position at Concord Technologies, Andre served as Vice President of Software Engineering for GE Healthcare’s Digital organization. There, he managed almost a petabyte of protected healthcare data, de-identified it, enhanced it, and drove the launch of several new products and services that leveraged the data.

Mike Stover has spent the last 18 years working in the digital fax industry. Before joining Concord as Senior Product Manager over Concord’s comprehensive suite of solutions in 2023, he worked for OpenText as the Manager of Product Management for all their fax solutions.
