Dr. Kel Pults Board’s Director, Active Archive Alliance

The Active Archive Alliance announced that Dr. Kel Pults, DHA, MSN, RN, and chief clinical officer at MediQuant, has joined its board of directors.

She will be instrumental in advancing the alliance’s mission to provide end-users with technical expertise and guidance to design and implement active archive solutions for intelligent data management.

MediQuant provides data life cycle management technology, working in partnership with healthcare providers and other vendors to optimize data management, including revenue cycles. She applies her nursing experience and expertise to build health information technology to support clinical data management solutions.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Pults to the Active Archive Alliance board of directors,” said Betsy Doughty, VP of corporate marketing at Spectra Logic and co-chair of the Active Archive Alliance. “Healthcare has been at the forefront of active archiving requirements for years. Having Dr. Pults’ expertise in both healthcare and technology brings a unique perspective to our organization.”

Active archives provide strategies to solve data growth challenges and are becoming an integral part of organizations’ data management road maps. In the healthcare industry, an active archive enables healthcare organizations to track patient diagnoses and treatments across multiple providers, ensures regulatory compliance by proving data security and availability, offers streamlined workflows to records management and clinical users and supports telemedicine and telehealth.

“As regulatory oversight increases at the federal level, the archive space, and specifically active archiving, will get more notice across the healthcare industry for ensuring compliance,” said Pults. “I am excited to share my expertise and help organizations more effectively manage and access their data over the long term.”

The Active Archive Alliance includes the following members and sponsors: FujiFilm, Spectra Logic, MediQuant, Atempo, Harmony Healthcare IT, IBM, IMT Software, Iron Mountain, Object Matrix, PoINT Software & Systems, QStar Technologies, Quantum, StrongBox Data Solutions, SullivanStrickler, Western Digital, and XenData.
