With Intermountain Healthcare in Utah and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, GE Healthcare has introduced a service to get published medical breakthroughs and best practices quickly to physicians at the point of care. Under the service, the vendor will update its clinical decision support systems with new treatment options developed at Intermountain and Mayo.
GE Healthcare also announced partners for a collaborative effort to develop and commercialize an open architecture to ease interoperability of information systems.
