What if your health tech solution is built on biased data, and you don’t even know it?On this episode, I sat down with Beverly Miner of Consensus Cloud Solutions live from the floor of VIVE to talk about one of the most overlooked drivers of healthcare inequity—unstructured data. From missed medications to tragic delays in care, we walk through what happens when critical patient information is locked in PDFs, never reaches the right provider, and gets left out of the systems we rely on to make decisions.You’ll hear what Beverly’s team is doing to:Eliminate the need for costly EHR overhauls with cloud fax + data extractionSolve real problems like discharge delays, referral breakdowns, and prior auth lagImprove clinical workflow without asking care teams to learn new tech or platformsAddress health equity by first solving tech equity in underserved marketsOne of Beverly’s own family members died waiting for a prior authorization. That’s what drives her.
