University Hospitals in Cleveland plans to deploy Allscripts' 2bPrecise platform to bring genomic data into patient care, the provider organization announced June 14.
Using the 2bPrecise platform, physicians will have better access to patient genomic information to help inform more effective treatment or therapy options. The platform will be integrated across the care continuum and data will be combined with the EHR to enhance patient care in both acute and ambulatory settings.
"The area of precision medicine is evolving rapidly, and technology that is now considered a competitive differentiator will soon become the standard," said University Hospitals Chief Medical Information Officer Jeffrey Sunshine, MD, PhD. "As an organization that values innovation, we knew now was the time to begin to build a solid foundation for our precision medicine initiative, and we believe 2bPrecise, a groundbreaking company backed by our long-time partner, Allscripts, will get us to where we need to be."
