Community Health Network, a healthcare services provider in Indiana, US, has joined forces with Ferrum Health to enhance patient care outcomes using AI solutions.
Ferrum Health, which is an enterprise-scale AI platform, serves as the reference architecture for facilitating AI deployments at various healthcare organisations and radiology practices.
The platform prioritises data security, autonomous AI validation, and business intelligence, providing the necessary infrastructure for deploying top-tier AI applications on a large scale.
As part of the latest partnership, Ferrum Health will be incorporated into Indianapolis-headquartered Community Health Network's existing infrastructure, enabling healthcare providers to access vital insights within their clinical workflow seamlessly.
The partnership will commence with the deployment of Gleamer's BoneView tool, which is an AI algorithm designed by Ferrum Health to automate the detection of fractures in X-ray images.
This is the first of many AI tools that will be deployed, with Ferrum Health's vendor-neutral approach allowing for the selection of the most effective algorithms for each health system.
Ferrum Health co-founder and CEO Pelu Tran added: “We’re excited to bring the Ferrum Health Platform to Community Health Network and to help bring better patient outcomes through leading AI algorithms for the Indianapolis community.”
Since the inception of its first hospital, Community Hospital East in 1956, the not-for-profit healthcare network has been offering a range of healthcare services along with a renewed emphasis on population health management.
Community Health Network chief transformation officer physician Dr Patrick McGill said: “This collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging technology to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care.
“The Ferrum Platform makes the entire integration process easy with its last-mile technology approach, which reduces costs and streamlines workflows. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, we aim to ultimately transform the healthcare experience for our patients.”
The latest announcement follows Ferrum’s recent collaboration with Premier Radiology Services, a Florida-based provider of teleradiology services, to improve patient care by leveraging AI technology.
