Nashville, Tenn.-based Ardent Health Services partnered with SwitchPoint Ventures to launch an innovation studio focused on healthcare delivery and administration.
The partnership is building off of Ardent and SwitchPoint's previous collaborations on artificial intelligence. The studio will work to develop data-focused healthcare tools that can be spun off as independent ventures, according to a Jan. 11 Ardent news release.
"Ardent and SwitchPoint share a commitment to addressing the root problems that burden healthcare delivery," Ardent President and CEO Marty Bonick said. "Making healthcare work better demands more than status quo thinking. SwitchPoint's team listens, breaks down assumptions, attacks the salient issues, and iterates until there's a breakthrough."
