Cross-sector Collaboration

From the researchers to the laboratories, the consultants to the hospitals, healthcare and life sciences rely heavily on collaboration workflows that span the globe and various storage methods including on-premise, off-site, cloud and hybrid.

To effectively collaborate and work on various projects, organizations require the fastest file transfer speeds and the highest level of security. FileCatalyst’s flagship solution, FileCatalyst Direct, is capable of transferring files at an organization’s maximum bandwidth, up to 10Gbps. Our customers immediately gain access to their entire bandwidth.  

Genomics

Two common modes of DNA sequencing, whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing, can balloon to 300TB in some cases. These datasets also use diverse binary and tab-delimited BAM and SAM files BAM containing the sequence alignment data. In addition to sending files of any size, FileCatalyst’s solutions can also send files of any format. No matter how diverse your testing and sequencing data is, FileCatalyst can easily send it.

After so much work has been put into gathering the data, a strong backup workflow should be in place to ensure it remains intact and accessible in the event of data loss. FileCatalyst’s Delta Transfer feature can simplify the backup process and ensure that your data is sequentially and atomically backed up.

Patient Records

Wide numbers of patients are generating more data than ever before in the form of MRI scans, Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), blood samples, prescription history, medical history and more. All of this growing data needs to be stored, and due to the sensitivity of this data, it needs to be secure. All of FileCatalyst’s fast file transfer solutions are fully HIPAA compliant and also provide enhanced security features including industry-standard encryption using AES and SSL.

Administration Billing

When hospitals process invoices and other transactions, they follow a complex process that involves multiple endpoints and organizations. Insurance validation information going to hospitals, claim forms going to clearinghouses and 835 remittance forms going back to the clearinghouse are just some of the transfers included in a workflow. Managing all of these complex workflows manually can lead to mistakes and critical errors in processing.

FileCatalyst Direct’s client application, FileCatalyst HotFolder, is capable of automating all of these complex transfer workflows. Organizations can set up upload and download folders at each endpoint and set up custom synchronization intervals. Once the folders are set up, all of the records will automatically upload and download to their destinations without the need for human interaction.
