Atigeo to Offer Analytics Platform for Healthcare 

Atigeo today announced it now offers an advanced cloud-based big data analytics platform available with full HIPAA compliance. The platform is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Atigeo is in production with multiple applications using over 100 terabytes of medical data. This includes implementation of security architecture and controls beyond what is needed to be in compliance with the most recent HIPAA regulations. Atigeo enables customers to benefit from the scale, elasticity, and cost savings available in a cloud-based environment, without the integration challenges of traditional on-premise IT deployments.

“This evidences a new frontier where physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, and insurance companies can connect their distributed IT systems and applications with something as simple as a web connection, allowing data to securely link in order to perform real-time advanced analytics,” said Michael Sandoval, chairman and CEO of Atigeo.

Emdeon Inc. is deploying Atigeo’s xPatterns platform to create a data repository of several billion hospital, physician and pharmacy claims plus e-prescribing and lab data. Using Atigeo’s xPatterns, Emdeon is on the leading edge of big data analytics for healthcare and is able to rapidly build and deploy intelligent applications, perform advanced analytics, and develop truly useful insights from the data.

“With access via Emdeon’s network to what is effectively census-level healthcare data in near real time from the date of service, Emdeon and Atigeo have collaborated to create big data analytics capabilities for healthcare,” said Miriam Paramore, executive vice president of corporate strategy and product development for Emdeon. Paramore went on to say, “Emdeon is creating a paradigm shift for the healthcare industry. Instead of relying on sampling, now our customers will be able to use market-wide information to drive highly insightful analytics that create a more complete picture of healthcare utilization and outcomes for single patients or entire patient populations.”
