("accesso" or the "Group")
accesso launches partnership with Henry Ford Health System
- Partnership with US Hospital Group brings hospitality insight
to the healthcare industry -
- The Experience EngineÔ (TE2) to redefine experience for
patients, families and caregivers -
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology
solutions provider to leisure, entertainment, cultural and
hospitality markets, today announces its first healthcare
partnership: a long-term agreement with Henry Ford Health System
(HFHS) for the use of TE2, accesso's digital experience and
personalisation platform.
TE2 will allow HFHS, a six-hospital system headquartered in
Detroit, Michigan, to digitise and personalise the entire
healthcare journey. accesso's technology will be used to build
unique patient profiles which can be easily integrated with
electronic medical records, enabling healthcare providers to offer
a convenient and frictionless patient experience in real-time, with
features such as:
-- Concierge service identifying the patient and family by name as they arrive
-- Real-time point of care and wayfinding support while inside Henry Ford facilities
-- Ability for patients to provide a list of care preferences
and to order food during their stay
-- Smartphone medical bill payments
-- Patient feedback and communication
-- Proximity alerts so family members know how their loved one
is progressing through an appointment
Henry Ford will pilot the technology beginning in autumn 2018,
in preparation for a full multi-phase implementation to coincide
with the grand opening of the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion, the
new destination centre for the Henry Ford Cancer Institute,
expected in 2020. The technology will be available to both patients
and caregivers, and the technology and standardisation developed
will be made available to other hospitals and health systems
throughout the U.S.
Steven N. Kalkanis, M.D., Medical Director, Henry Ford Cancer
Institute, and Chair, Department of Neurosurgery, commented:
"This is unlike anything we've seen before in healthcare. A
cancer diagnosis and everything that comes with it can cause an
unspeakable amount of stress for patients and families. A solution
of this magnitude has the unparalleled potential to ease that
burden and we are thrilled to join with Accesso to create an
improved experience for our patients."
Spencer Hoover, Henry Ford Health System's Vice President &
Executive Director of the Henry Ford Cancer Institute,
commented:
"We're creating a revolution in healthcare that, for the first
time, combines unprecedented convenience with exceptional and
personalized care. In Accesso and TE2, we have found committed
colleagues that have brought the best of hospitality to
healthcare."
Steve Brown, CEO of accesso, commented:
"Accesso has a long track-record of expanding into new
verticals, taking technology that improves user-experience in one
area and applying it to others that share similar challenges. We're
particularly pleased with this application, not only because we're
announcing a partnership in the healthcare space for the first
time, but also because our newest technology is enabling us to make
a real and meaningful difference to the people's lives at a
difficult time."
