Unstructured Data is Slowing Care. medQ and Consensus Have a Solution.

Author: John Lynn February 19, 2026 Duration: 17:49

Healthcare still runs on fax. The real question is what happens after those documents arrive.

In this conversation, Roy Vincent, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at medQ, and Marianne Soucy, Solutions Engineer at Consensus Cloud Solutions, unpack why unstructured data remains so deeply embedded in healthcare and how it slows radiology workflows, intake processes, and patient care. They explore what changes when unstructured data (like faxes) becomes visible, readable, and routable inside clinical systems, and why speed has become a patient safety issue, not just an efficiency metric.
