The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and employs natural language processing to spot relationships in those notes including disease progression, symptoms and medication responses, according to an April 19 Microsoft blog post.
“Having that information from clinical notes available to search will be game-changing,” stated Guilford Parsons, MD, chief of operational analytics at Renton, Wash.-based Providence, where the idea for Truveta was hatched in 2018.
The company was co-founded in 2020 by CEO Terry Myerson, a former Microsoft executive, along with Providence, Charlotte, N.C.-based Advocate Health, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare and Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health. The platform has expanded to include 24 additional systems comprising more than 700 hospitals and deidentified data from more than 80 million patients.
Its 45 social determinants of health data points now encompass housing stability, social support and education. Mitchell Cornet, vice president of public health, community vaccines and strategic partnerships at New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health, a Truveta member, said this will help researchers better understand and identify what social factors are affecting community members’ health, like a pregnant woman who misses prenatal visits because she lacks transportation.
