GE Healthcare Partners (Little Chalfont, UK) and ThoughtWire (Ontario, Canada) have entered into a five-year collaboration agreement to help hospitals and health systems implement new digital tools for improving their productivity, quality of care and overall patient experience.

Both GE Healthcare Partners and the Toronto-based software company ThoughtWire build apps for smarter healthcare, with the former focusing on the hospital and health-system level, and the latter on the workflow level.

The collaboration between the companies will benefit 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.

“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."

"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.”
