In Healthcare, It’S All About Mobility
Views: 1949
IBM, Apple & Epic, partnership has tremendous potential,
. . . to make the business of healthcare much more mobile.
The goal is to create a true mobile link between providers and patients,
. . . by combining the strengths of all 3 companies.
. . . This means a seamless, two-way exchange of health data.
For example, the millions of patients whose medical history,
. . . is currently managed by an Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR),
. . . will be able to access and interact with their health data,
. . . via their mobile device, using the Epic MyChart app.
At the same time, IBM plans to build a suite of complementary apps,
. . . that will allow data to be collected from a variety of medical and fitness devices
. . . (from glucose meters to Fitbits) and uploaded not only to a patient’s iPhone,
. . . or iPad, but ultimately to their EMR as well.
. . . Once this data is in Epic, providers can manipulate it in a number of ways,
. . . to improve patient outcomes.
Epic makes software for:
. . . . . . mid-size and large medical groups,
. . . . . . hospitals and
. . . . . . integrated healthcare organizations,
. . . working with customers that include:
. . . . . . community hospitals,
. . . . . . academic facilities,
. . . . . . children's organizations,
. . . . . . safety net providers and
. . . . . . multi-hospital systems.
Our integrated software spans:
. . . . . . clinical,
. . . . . . access and revenue functions and
. . . . . . extends into the home.
“The true beneficiary of this partnership,
. . . from a healthcare perspective
. . . is the patient,”
