Premier joined forces with Progknowse to develop a genomic data set and predictive algorithms that can be used within the PremierConnect performance improvement platform.
Premier and Progknowse, a startup predictive analytics firm, will work with research universities and data scientists to develop real-time predictive algorithms that can be used to support precision medicine and personalized care delivery.
Progknowse will use the PremierConnect platform to access national data sets that include de-identified clinical outcomes data on around 45 percent of all patient discharges in the U.S. The data will be used to create the predictive algorithms.
"This partnership combines the skills and resources necessary to access data sets and genomic information to create a much broader, national healthcare database for data scientists to analyze," said Leigh Anderson, president of performance services at Premier. "Once developed, the resulting output is expected to allow us to offer discrete analytics as a syndicated service to our members, putting precision medicine within the reach of almost any health system, regardless of size and budget."
The financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
