University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and GE HealthCare (NASDAQ:GEHC) announce a Care Alliance to build advanced capabilities across URMC's footprint in upstate New York, including a center of excellence in its Imaging Sciences department, the addition of diagnostic tracer production for molecular imaging applications, and the standardization of patient monitoring across the entire UR Medicine health system.
The newly formed Care Alliance spans seven years and comes as an expansion of a longstanding relationship between URMC and GE HealthCare. With the Care Alliance in place, the organizations will work to implement efficiencies across the system that can help to decrease burdens on IT, biomed, and clinicians; while standardizing equipment throughout the health system to help ensure patients receive exceptional care when and where they receive it.
