GE HealthCare has announced partnerships with two US health systems, namely the Queen's Health Systems and Duke Health, to enhance the development of its AI-driven hospital operations software.

The health systems will provide frontline expertise to inform GE HealthCare's upcoming cloud-first software as a service solution, which is part of the CareIntellect suite of applications.

GE HealthCare stated that user feedback is fundamental to its customer-centric approach in developing solutions that meet the needs of health systems and enhance patient care.

Queen's Medical Center vice president Ashley Shearer said: “At Queen's, we believe in the power of technology to empower clinicians and improve patient care. As a current user of GE HealthCare's Command Centre software, we have seen first-hand how data-driven insights are helping us better advance our mission to deliver the best care in the best possible way.

“With the support of GE HealthCare's technology and change management expertise, alongside other key initiatives, we have been able to improve access to care and increase the number of transfer patients by more than 22%.

“We look forward to providing our perspective and sharing our learnings to help inform GE HealthCare's newest software solution and find new ways to increase access to care and high-quality support for patients.”

The solution will leverage predictive analytics and AI to recommend actions. These features are intended to provide hospital leaders with actionable suggestions and insights, enabling them to make real-time adjustments to improve care delivery.

Duke Health Lake Norman Hospital president and chief operating officer Kristie Barazsu said: "We want to help health systems globally deliver better outcomes for patients.

“That's why we're contributing our expertise to shape the ways in which AI is used in healthcare. We've seen the impact that technology can have to enhance our overall operations, the care team experience, and the way we support our communities.”

Earlier this year, Sutter Health announced a seven-year Care Alliance with GE HealthCare to improve access to diagnostic imaging services across California, US.
