“To prepare for the launch of this multi-year relationship, some of GE Healthcare’s senior-most leaders have been onsite, working closely with us to ensure we’re doing all we can up front to position all of us for long-term success,” said Kathleen Kinslow, Jefferson Health’s Chief Integration Officer and leader for this comprehensive initiative. “They have become valued members of our extended team and their level of engagement has been exceptional.”
Nationwide, academic medical centers are facing a growing gap between the cost of their clinical missions and the available funding that threatens the future of those missions. New approaches to optimize health system performance, including improving the patient experience and the health of populations at a lower cost, are essential to ensure sustainability. The unique relationship with GE Healthcare presents an opportunity to proactively address today’s healthcare challenges.
