“The goal of this collaboration is to help providers deliver
seamless patient care,” said Jeff Terry, Managing Principal,
GE Healthcare Partners. "Together, GE and ThoughtWire will help
hospitals and health systems better manage patient pathways using
new real-time decision-support software."
GE and ThoughtWire, both experts in building apps for smarter
healthcare, are collaborating together to simplify and enable
real-time decision making. GE Healthcare Partners’ focus has been
at the hospital and health-system level, while ThoughtWire has
focused at the workflow level. Combining their capabilities, GE and
ThoughtWire have the potential to make a meaningful, large-scale
impact for hospitals and patients by reducing patient waiting in
the emergency department, reducing length-of-stay in the hospital,
improving access to complex care and reducing turn-around-times for
patient lab and radiology results among other targeted goals.
"Achieving more efficient and effective healthcare is a massive
challenge. Collaboration is key," said Michael Monteith,
ThoughtWire CEO. "By combining our capabilities ThoughtWire and GE
can unlock the full potential of people, data, and technology to
improve the delivery of healthcare in today’s digital age.”
This collaboration is further evidence of GE’s strong commitment
to digital health and Canada,” said Heather Chalmers, General
Manager for GE Healthcare Canada.
