 Over the next seven years, GE Healthcare and Hartford HealthCare will 
 work together to help patients avoid unnecessary wait times and "traffic 
 jams" that can delay care. The relationship will feature GE's advanced 
 analytics to determine the best strategies for clinical program and 
 capacity design. GE and Hartford HealthCare will share expertise to 
 focus on access, patient experience and efficiency.
 
 
 "Through this collaboration, we continue to build a world-class 
 healthcare system for the people we have the privilege to serve," said 
 Elliot Joseph, Chief Executive Officer of Hartford HealthCare. "We are 
 redesigning the way we organize and deliver care. We are focused on 
 ensuring patients get the care they need, where they need it, and to 
 coordinate that care so it is faster, safer and, ultimately, more 
 affordable."
 
 
 An important element of the agreement is GE helping to implement 
 and activate Hartford HealthCare&#39;s new Care Logistics Center. The 
 Center's goal is to improve patient and staff experience by reducing 
 waiting times and improving communication between providers and 
 facilities.
 
 
 "We are incredibly excited by the possibilities of what our 
 organizations can do together," said President and Chief Operating 
 Officer of Hartford HealthCare, Jeffrey Flaks. "Getting patients to the 
 right level of care quickly – and ensuring that critical medical 
 information is readily available – will help us in our mission to heal 
 and save lives across our state. This is part of Hartford HealthCare's 
 vision to create a new standard of care for the people of Connecticut. 
 It will put GE's expertise and technology to its best use as we serve 
 our patients and families."
 
 
 The collaboration — the first of its kind in New England — has four main 
 objectives:
 
 <ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Enhance the patient experience through more efficient access to 
 diagnosis, testing and treatment
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Leverage advanced analytics to support ongoing operational and 
 clinical improvements that could lead to faster care
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Drive improved efficiency to lower the cost of care and provide more 
 than $14 million in savings over the seven-year course of the 
 relationship
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Further develop complex digital imaging services, with improved 
 staffing models and better technology to enable more efficient access 
 for patients across the system
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Over the course of the seven-year project, both organizations have 
 committed to achieving measurable improvements and outcomes.
 
 
 "To truly transform the patient experience at this level requires us to 
 completely rethink how and where we can improve efficiencies," said John 
 Flannery, President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Healthcare. "We 
 believe that this strategic, outcomes-based agreement will focus on the 
 shared priorities to enhance clinical quality, patient experience and 
 operational efficiency."
