WELL Health Technologies (TSX:WELL) is announcing a global partnership with Orion Health to improve health integration tools in the public health sector.
The partnership seeks to “drive patient empowerment and reduce administrative burdens for healthcare providers by integrating health information across the continuum of care,” according to a statement released Friday.
Orion Health is an open healthcare platform provider specializing in consolidating data across different health systems, as well as extracting insights from health records to improve outcomes and overall wellbeing. The company applies its decades of research and development in data science and machine learning in 60 health systems across 12 countries.
WELL Health, for its part, will bring to the table its OceanMD product suite, which offers market-leading functionality in terms of online appointment booking, referral services, EMR-based patient engagement solutions and more.
WELL Health views the partnership as part of its role in “tech enabling and supporting healthcare providers” as the largest owner and operator of outpatient medical clinics.
“WELL, through their OceanMD product suite, are market leaders in healthcare provider and patient empowerment solutions. This, combined with Orion Health’s Digital Front Door, Orchestral, and Digital Care Record, creates a significant offering for the global healthcare IT market,” Andrea Tait, senior vice president of patient empowerment and equity at Orion Health, said in the statement.
“Our approach at Orion Health is to integrate with existing patient empowerment solutions, when possible, to maximize and streamline patient access to self-service tools. WELL’s existing footprint in appointment booking and referral means this partnership can accelerate the use of these solutions in a way that is unified with other key tools like symptom checking and patient access to their health information,” she said.
“We are thrilled to embark on this global partnership with Orion Health,” Shane Sabatino, CPO and head of public sector partnerships at WELL Health, said in a statement. “Our joint commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of healthcare aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of the industry.”
