Philips Healthcare parent Royal Philips will collaborate with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and MedAxiom to develop a "roadmap" for hospitals, health systems, and practices to help drive significant performance improvements in integrated cardiovascular care.
The company said the collaboration will result in timely and actionable information along with guidance to align physicians, operations, and finance stakeholders. Philips will leverage its cardiovascular R&D and clinical expertise, the ACC will provide knowledge that leverages the skill and expertise of its 54,000 members, and MedAxiom will contribute organizational performance solutions.
The companies and the ACC hope to provide cardiovascular service providers with data, education, and services to reduce total costs.
