QPID Health Listed as a "Sample Vendor" in Gartner's Hype Cycle for Healthcare Provider Technologies and Standards, 2015

BOSTON, Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- QPID Health, which helps hospitals and medical groups complete quality and registry reporting more efficiently and thoroughly, today announced that it has been identified as a sample vendor in the Gartner "Healthcare Provider Technologies and Standards, 2015" report. QPID was named in the Natural-Language Processing (Clinical Enterprise) category.¹

"The Gartner Hype Cycle is a vital reference for healthcare delivery organization CIOs and IT leadership when assessing the impact and value of emerging and existing information technologies and standards…. Each entry on the Hype Cycle provides a definition of the technology, a justification for its position and adoption speed, and targeted user advice."

"We believe that being named as a sample vendor by Gartner is additional confirmation of the value that QPID brings to healthcare providers who are heavily dependent on quality outcomes and measures for reimbursement and reputation," said Mike Doyle, QPID Health President and CEO. "Meeting these requirements often entails time-intensive manual searching of unstructured data, and it is no longer viable for health systems to complete these tasks without a technology assist. We look forward to providing our valued customers with advanced technology that we believe utilizes NLP with unique clinical reasoning and machine learning to quickly find the pertinent information and ensure reports are completed in a timely and efficient manner."

Gartner also named QPID Health a 2015 "Cool Vendor" for healthcare providers.²
