GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., plans to launch later this year a new clinical knowledge platform that will help healthcare facilities improve their performance.
The platform, called Qualibria, will give clinicians more control over patient outcomes by linking real-time data from existing IT systems and comparing these data against shared baselines of evidence-based best practices, according to GE. The platform is the result of collaboration between GE, Intermountain Healthcare, and the Mayo Clinic.
The Mayo Clinic has agreed to an expanded collaboration on the Qualibria project, GE said, and through the expanded collaboration, the clinic will provide expertise in developing the platform for best practice clinical content, including knowledge, protocols, and care guidelines.
Qualibria will allow clinicians to review trends and patterns as well as variations from locally agreed best practices. Hospital executives will be able to track and manage quality initiatives at the time of care delivery, rather than only through retrospective reporting, and information technologists can combine data from GE Centricity systems and other vendor systems, GE said.
