Health Cloud will tap into
over 500,000 GE imaging
systems
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, is partnering with GE Healthcare and GE Digital to develop digital solutions on the GE Health Cloud.
Health Cloud connects to more than 500,000 GE imaging systems from which the images processed on-site can be moved to the cloud, allowing radiologists and clinicians to collaborate across care pathways and departments both inside and outside the hospital setting.
Health Cloud also has four new radiology apps that will run in the cloud: Centricity Cloud Advanced Visualization, to manage image post-processing and allow viewings of the 3-D images at any time; Centricity Multi-Disciplinary Team Virtual Meeting, aimed at helping teams collaborate care planning; Centricity Case Exchange, which allows affiliated and non-affiliated systems to share images and reports; and Centricity Image Access Portal, where affiliated and non-affiliated physicians can view longitudinal patient imaging data.

“The GE Health Cloud can help unlock the value of data, quickly and seamlessly for better patient care,” said John Flannery, president and CEO of GE Healthcare, last November when the Health Cloud was first announced. “[It] will help clinicians turn data into insights, and insights into tangible actions for decision-makers to drive better outcomes.”
Flannery said the amount of data health care devices are generating is expected to increase 50-fold by 2024.
In the collaboration with TCS, TCS will use its consulting experience to ensure quality control and regulatory compliance of the GE Health Cloud and its solutions.
"TCS sees great opportunities to improve care pathways for patients through its digital solutions, enriching the GE Health Cloud ecosystem to improve outcomes for health care providers," said Anupam Singhal, vice president of Tata Consultancy Services, in a statement.
According to the announcement, TCS has significant expertise on the GE Predix platform — aimed at industrial factories and plants — which released Internet of Things solutions such as supply chain monitoring, prognostics maintenance and engine telematics.
