Jefferson Health partners with GE Healthcare to ‘disrupt healthcare’
Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health, affiliated with Thomas Jefferson University, is making room in 13 facilities for 100 or so GE Healthcare employees to move in and work on site. And that may be just the start of the newly blossoming relationship.
The provider institution hopes a closer partnership with this one of its key vendors will boost savings and revenues by more than $500 over the next eight years, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting.
The coming together will mean not only more GE expertise but also more GE products under Jefferson roofs. And the categories will surely include imaging equipment and systems, as the personnel transfers are to flow both ways: About 70 Jefferson radiology workers and biomedical staff will become GE employees.
Jefferson chief executive Stephen Klasko, MD, MBA, tells the Inquirer the combined organization will seek to “disrupt healthcare.”
