Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health and New York City-based Cota, a data platform, have partnered to improve care for cancer patients.
Through the collaboration, HMH will integrate Cota Notal Addresses into its Epic EHR system. CNAs map cancer by organizing patients into groups based on a variety of clinical and personal factors. Thus, all patients with the same CNA receive the same type of treatment.
"Incorporating CNAs directly into EHR systems to help guide decision-making in real time is the next step in helping healthcare professionals increase individual patient outcomes and lower the total cost of care for the population they serve," said Cota Founder and Executive Chairman Andrew Pecora, MD.
