Over the next seven years, GE Healthcare and Hartford HealthCare
will work together to help patients avoid unnecessary wait times
and “traffic jams” that can delay care. The relationship will
feature GE’s advanced analytics to determine the best strategies
for clinical program and capacity design. GE and Hartford
HealthCare will share expertise to focus on access, patient
experience and efficiency.
“Through this collaboration, we continue to build a world-class
healthcare system for the people we have the privilege to serve,”
said Elliot Joseph, Chief Executive Officer of Hartford
HealthCare. “We are redesigning the way we organize and
deliver care. We are focused on ensuring patients get the care they
need, where they need it, and to coordinate that care so it is
faster, safer and, ultimately, more affordable.”
An important element of the agreement is GE helping to implement
and activate Hartford HealthCare's new Care Logistics Center.
The Center’s goal is to improve patient and staff experience by
reducing waiting times and improving communication between
providers and facilities.
“We are incredibly excited by the possibilities of what our
organizations can do together,” said President and Chief Operating
Officer of Hartford HealthCare, Jeffrey Flaks. “Getting patients to
the right level of care quickly – and ensuring that critical
medical information is readily available – will help us in our
mission to heal and save lives across our state. This is part of
Hartford HealthCare’s vision to create a new standard of care for
the people of Connecticut. It will put GE’s expertise and
technology to its best use as we serve our patients and
families.”
The collaboration — the first of its kind in New England — has
four main objectives:
- Enhance the patient experience through
more efficient access to diagnosis, testing and treatment
- Leverage advanced analytics to support
ongoing operational and clinical improvements that could lead to
faster care
- Drive improved efficiency to lower the
cost of care and provide more than $14 million in savings over the
seven-year course of the relationship
- Further develop complex digital imaging
services, with improved staffing models and better technology to
enable more efficient access for patients across the system
Over the course of the seven-year project, both organizations
have committed to achieving measurable improvements and
outcomes.
“To truly transform the patient experience at this level
requires us to completely rethink how and where we can improve
efficiencies,” said John Flannery, President and Chief Executive
Officer of GE Healthcare. “We believe that this strategic,
outcomes-based agreement will focus on the shared priorities to
enhance clinical quality, patient experience and operational
efficiency.”
