At the same time, as care moves from the hospital to lower cost settings, including the home, a proactive approach to acute care and precisions diagnostics is needed to help improve health and reduce costs for entire patient populations. With the acquisition of VitalHealth, a leading provider of cloud-based population health management solutions for the delivery of personalized care outside the hospital, Philips has expanded its Population Health Management portfolio with advanced capabilities to manage chronic disease care pathways across multiple settings and disciplines, while actively tracking patient-reported outcomes.

“Philips’ deep expertise in healthcare information technology, including AI, combined with insights gained from our strong customer relationships, uniquely positions us to unlock the collective intelligence and insights across departments within the hospital to deliver the right information at the right time to clinicians,” said Carla Kriwet, CEO, Connected Care and Health Informatics, Philips. “At the core of our HIMSS presence this year is our adaptive intelligence approach and open architecture technologies to help improve interoperability and to enable superior data-driven clinical decisions, improve staff and equipment productivity and drive better patient outcomes and engagement.” 

Philips will introduce and spotlight integrated technologies empowering data-driven clinical decisions to deliver value-based care in hospital and ambulatory settings. Intelligent technologies help improve interoperability to optimize care pathways, workflows and asset management across key areas including:
