York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health is expanding its partnership with General Catalyst’s Health Assurance Transformation Company, becoming its first “transformation partner” to advance the use of AI in healthcare.
Here are three things to know about the partnership:
- The initiative will target three areas: automating administrative tasks so staff can focus on patient care, using data and AI tools to personalize treatment, and developing strategies for financial sustainability. WellSpan said in a Sept. 3 press release that the effort could reclaim more than 400,000 clinical hours each year and deliver double-digit business improvements over five years.
- The collaboration builds on work that began in 2023 and aims to modernize care delivery, improve patient outcomes and boost operational efficiency.
- WellSpan’s earlier work with General Catalyst included projects with portfolio companies Aidoc and Hippocratic AI to address workforce shortages.
