Quest Diagnostics Sunsets Quanum® Practice Solutions
Quanum Customers: Looking for New E-Prescribing to Replace your Sunsetting Program?
Quest Diagnostics recently announced that it will sunset its Quanum Practice Solutions business, which has provided healthcare providers with electronic health record (EHR), electronic prescribing, and practice management software solutions for over 25 years. The move surprised many in the healthcare industry, as Quanum has been a well-respected and widely used platform for healthcare providers across the U.S.
Quanum is an integrated platform that provides EHR, practice management, and revenue cycle management solutions for healthcare providers. These services are designed to help providers manage their practices more efficiently, improve patient care, and increase revenue.
If you are a Quanum customer, you may be wondering what you should do. Here’s what Quest Diagnostic’s decision means for healthcare providers and the reasons behind Quest's decision.
Why is Quest sunsetting Quanum?
According to Quest, the consolidation of independent physician practices has transformed the healthcare landscape, leading the company to streamline its services. Quest is phasing out its Quanum Practice Solutions business, which includes its Quanum Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Quanum Electronic Prescribing (ePre) offerings.
While Quest's decision may surprise many, it's common for healthcare organizations to reassess their product offerings and business strategies to stay competitive.
What does this mean for healthcare providers who currently use Quanum?
Quest has stated that it will support Quanum through the end of 2023 and is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for its customers. Providers can migrate to another EHR platform now or continue using Quanum until the end of 2023.
Quest's decision to sunset Quanum Practice Solutions is a significant development for the healthcare industry. It's a reminder that healthcare organizations need to be nimble and adapt to stay competitive in an evolving landscape. The full impact of Quest's decision remains to be seen, but the company has committed to ensuring a smooth transition for its customers.
