GE collaborates on new digital healthcare programs

GE is collaborating with some of the world’s leading medical institutions on a new initiative to advance healthcare information technologies (IT) around the world. Through partnerships with the Mayo Clinic Rochester, Intermountain Healthcare, Montefiore Medical Center, University of California at San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF), Aspetar Hospital, Qatar Foundation and The Westchester Medical Group, GE plans to deliver lower-cost, higher-quality healthcare from the doctor’s office to the patient’s home.

The new digital programs include:

• “Digital Day One”, a program designed to help both emerging and developed markets leverage IT solutions to extend the current reach of patient care.
• Collaboration with Intermountain Healthcare and Mayo Clinic to bring medical research to patient care sooner, through software that will make cutting-edge diagnostic, research and treatment findings available to doctors the same day that they are published – a process that currently takes almost 17 years.
• IT collaboration framework to develop and commercialize an open architecture that will connect today’s disparate healthcare IT systems.
