technology and digital solutions to more than one million
patients.
GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) today announced a collaboration
with OSF HealthCare, an integrated health system caring for
patients throughout Illinois and Michigan, and Pointcore, Inc., a
healthcare management and non-clinical shared services company, to
help increase clinical and operational efficiencies, standardize
care delivery models and improve patient outcomes across OSF
HealthCare. This alliance will leverage GE HealthCare’s expertise

“In the rapidly changing world of healthcare, this strategic
collaboration between OSF HealthCare, Pointcore and GE HealthCare
means that we can ensure our Mission Partners (employees) have the
right technology at the right place at the right time,
fundamentally changing the way we deliver care to over one million
patients each year,” said Jim Mormann, Chief Executive Officer of
OSF HealthCare Integrated Solutions and Pointcore, Inc. “It is in
direct alignment with our Mission to serve with the greatest care
and love to all the communities we have been called to serve and
aims to allow our patients to have access to the best care
possible.”
The agreements stand on two key pillars and will deepen OSF
HealthCare, Pointcore and GE HealthCare’s combined focus on:
- A foundational alliance that includes investment in new
technology systems, digital tools and resources, service and
support across a variety of care areas including nuclear medicine,
oncology and radiology. A new intersection between Pointcore and GE
HealthCare will drive Healthcare Technology Management services and
provide excellence in the management of OSF’s medical equipment
across their ministry.
- A new approach to investment in innovation that uses
advanced analytics to streamline capital management and allow OSF
HealthCare to reinvest in care for patients. As a part of this
approach, OSF HealthCare will be one of the first healthcare
systems in the United States to implement GE HealthCare’s new
version of Digital Expert Access with remote scanning, the first
FDA 510(k)-cleared device to enable remote patient scanning on GE
HealthCare Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) devices. This new
technology can bridge multiple locations, users, and devices
remotely and allow technologists to share knowledge and make
decisions quickly, reducing wait times and care disruption for
patients.
OSF HealthCare, Pointcore and GE HealthCare expect to explore
ways to scale their approach to drive greater access to
personalized care for more patients. The alliance will concentrate
on enhancing precision care in oncology by identifying clinical and
technological opportunities that can help accelerate integrated
cancer care at OSF HealthCare. The parties will work together to
build pathways that deliver precise, personalized care for patients
through customized solutions in radiation oncology and Theranostics
for diseases like prostate cancer.
“The most critical goal of this collaboration is increasing
access to quality care for all patients no matter where they are,”
said Catherine Estrampes, President and CEO, U.S. and Canada at GE
HealthCare. “OSF HealthCare, Pointcore and GE HealthCare are doing
this together through integrated technology, digital solutions,
advanced analytics and dedicated clinical and operational
specialists. The work of our combined teams will help enable OSF
HealthCare to standardize care across their system and empower
their Mission Partners to focus on their patients and
communities.”
The agreement is the result of extensive collaboration between
OSF HealthCare, Pointcore (and its predecessor, St. Francis, Inc.)
and GE HealthCare across many initiatives such as improving the
delivery of healthcare technology management and advancements in
diagnostic imaging technology. Collaboration activities will begin
in the Spring of 2024 with the launch of the OSF HealthCare Cancer
Institute in Peoria, Illinois.
