Quality Care

The Chicago-based surgical support platform ExplORer Surgical announced today it has closed a funding round worth $2.

Although diagnostic accuracy improved, triage accuracy and anxiety levels remained unchanged from before and after the internet search.   

The company's platform simplifies communication between patients and hospitals.

The companies expect the deal to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.   

The keynote presenter at HIMSS’ Accelerate Health event shares his game plan for how stakeholders can use big data to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of drug therapies.   

The company's technology looks to reduce the burden on pathologists reviewing digital slides, while also serving as a safety net to reduce errors.

Value-based care implies radical, even disruptive changes to the current practice, say Paulus Torkki, associate professor of healthcare operations management at University of Helsinki and Marianna Imenokhoeva, founder of LinktoMedicine and HIMSS Future50 Leader. 

Along with the support of a Google Cloud-backed data platform, the partners will work to build and validate digital health programs for early intervention and engagement.
