Pervasive Software Cures Integration Needs for ENSCO Healthcare Intelligence Platform


AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 3 - Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in agile, embeddable data management and integration software, today announced a strategic technology partnership with ENSCO Inc., a leading diversified research, development and information technology company. Pervasive Data Integrator(TM) will power the extraction, transformation and loading engine for ENSCO's newly launched Healthcare Intelligence Platform. This platform is designed to acquire, store and deliver clinical information from any number of data and content sources to create a flexible repository of clinical information.

ENSCO's data management practice - ENDATA - develops solutions to enable customers to gather and leverage the massive amounts of content within their organizations. The ENDATA Healthcare Intelligence Platform consolidates patient information and extracts key clinical terminology from any number of data and content sources - both structured and unstructured - to support several applications that directly impact a hospital's quality of patient care and revenue cycle management. Its Coder's Workbench(TM) modules ensure hospitals will be able to address upcoming severity-of-illness reimbursement changes by using its clinical extraction engine to find all pertinent diagnoses and procedures to make coders more efficient and accurate. ENDATA's Clinical Studies module allows quality managers and researchers to query patient documentation directly in support of patient safety, outcomes and risk management initiatives.

With patient information increasing each year in direct proportion to the number of compliance requirements healthcare organizations face, there is a need for a comprehensive solution that can integrate any number of data and content sources right out of the box. To bring its intelligence delivery expertise to the healthcare market, ENSCO looked to Pervasive Data Integrator for a flexible, embeddable bidirectional integration tool that can provide preventative medicine for the integration pain points of healthcare organizations. ENSCO embeds the Pervasive tool into their Healthcare Intelligence Platform to fit seamlessly into workflow and integrate a wide variety of patient data from across multiple systems.

"As we bring our technology into the healthcare market, it's important for us to give our customers exactly what they want: a pain-free system that can ramp up quickly, help the organization be compliant and have a positive impact on revenue," said Scott Lee, director of ENSCO's data management practice. "Pervasive's complete integration solutions and proven experience in the healthcare industry delivers confidence and alleviates the integration burden on the IT staff while enhancing our ability to provide our customers with the tools to meet ever-increasing compliance requirements and patient needs."

"Pervasive is pleased to be a part of ENSCO's newest solution for the healthcare industry," said Mike Hoskins, CTO and general manager of Integration Products at Pervasive. "The needs of healthcare customers grow each year with the proliferation of patient data and the complexity of using that data in various applications, including patient visit records, claims and billing. ENDATA addresses these needs and more, helping healthcare organizations improve the quality of care while streamlining operations to be both efficient and effective in managing patient data."
