University of California, San Francisco joins forces with Philips
to enhance the digital patient experience with Philips HealthSuite
May 26, 2021
Collaboration takes a Silicon Valley approach to the Quadruple
Aim, setting new standard for modern healthcare with end-to-end
cloud-based interoperability and innovative AI
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and San
Francisco, CA – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG,
AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and the
University of California, San Francisco
(UCSF), a world-class biomedical research hub and health
system, today announced a partnership to develop technology
that will enable a modern, more streamlined experience for patients
and set a new standard for healthcare delivery.
UCSF will use Philips HealthSuite to oversee the
development of technologies that leverage Artificial Intelligence
to enable personalization and make it easier for patients to select
providers, access their health information and receive virtual care
at home, while also easing the burden on care providers with
intuitive workflows and real-time decision support. Philips’ open
API-based ecosystem will foster the level of third-party innovation
that, combined with UCSF’s clinical expertise, can achieve these
goals. With end-to-end interoperability and orchestration, the
cloud-based system enables Philips’ products, systems, devices and
services to work seamlessly with those developed by partners and
third parties, reflecting the diversity of delivery systems and
technology partners held by both Philips and UCSF.
Address lack of interoperabilityThe work will
address the significant challenge of integrating
data from the multitude of often incompatible software
systems that generate and track patient information, a problem
that is intensifying as health systems expand their networks
and extend care beyond hospitals and clinics into the
community. The lack of interoperability often requires manual
re-entry or hunting down of data among the different
systems. Integrating these different data streams will ease
the burden on clinical staff, provide richer analytics and enable
more coordinated orchestration of care across diverse
settings.
“Our goal in partnering with Philips is to serve our patients
better,” said Aaron Neinstein, MD, associate professor of medicine
and director of clinical informatics at UCSF’s Center for Digital
Health Innovation. “The services we enable on this platform will
help people more easily find the right provider for the care they
need, eliminating the worries and delays people often experience.
We know that people need convenient access to care, whether for
their acute symptoms or chronic conditions, and we can provide a
more comprehensive, continuous feeling of support from their care
team enabled by virtual and in-person experiences across their care
journey.”
The co-developed solutions will power coordination and the
frictionless flow of care across traditional boundaries of
geography, hospital or site of care. “Over the past few years, UCSF
Health has developed a network of high-quality providers across the
Bay Area who share our vision to make healthcare more accessible,
affordable and personalized,” said Shelby Decosta, President of
UCSF Health Affiliates Network and Chief Strategy Officer for UCSF
Health. “Our partnership with Philips will empower UCSF Health with
navigation tools to bring this vision to life across our network of
world-class hospitals, community clinics and outpatient centers, as
well as through virtual care.”
The agreement includes a combination of applied research and
digital solution implementation, ranging from developing advanced
artificial intelligence algorithms and virtual care delivery
solutions to enable a more continuous, connected care experience,
to connecting multiple hospitals to better coordinate a patient’s
care journey. The partners will create and share best practices
with the healthcare industry, focused on advancing the Quadruple
Aim: better healthcare, at lower cost, with improved outcomes,
while enhancing the experience for both patients and
staff.
“We need to work together if we are going to move healthcare
forward, and we are inspired by UCSF’s willingness to push the
boundaries of technology innovation and transform care for their
patients,” said Vitor Rocha, Chief Market Leader for Philips
North America and member of the Executive Committee. “As
consumers, we have come to rely on technology to make our lives
easier, such as trusting the cloud to manage our financial data,
our commerce and our education. With this partnership, we are
looking to simplify healthcare in the same way and make technology
solutions pay dividends when it comes to the patient’s time and
health.”
