G.E.’s Bid to Connect Computerized Health Records
Colleagues,
As reported in New York Times ... General Electric’s big health care division is introducing a new unit, eHealth...
... The main target for G.E.’s new business unit is in providing the technology and expertise to build regional and statewide Health Information Exchanges ...
... G.E. said it was investing $90 million to get the new eHealth unit going. Its offerings include software for securely storing and sharing patient information, a Web portal that can pull patient information from various sources and present it to doctor, and a Web-based personal health record, called LifeSensor. It was built by a G.E. partner, InterComponentWare ...
... EHealth will be an international business, and health ministries in places like Saudi Arabia and Singapore want to build digital health networks and also want personal health records to be part of those networks ...
... “We’ve got a good product, but it’s not a primary focus for us in this country,” said Vishal Wanchoo, president of G.E.’s health care information technology business, “Our focus is on building out health information exchanges, and we view the personal health record as mainly a patient management application.”
