Presidium Health Deploys Health Gorilla to Access Patient Data in a Direct-To-Home Healthcare Solution

Presidium Health Deploys Health

Health Gorilla, a leading Health Information Network and interoperability provider, is pleased to announce that Presidium Health, the leading mobile healthcare company for medically complex patients, has successfully deployed its EHR data retrieval solution to power complex home care services.

Founded in 2017, Presidium Health provides home-based, whole-person care to the top 1 percent of the most medically and socially complex Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries. With plans to expand their value-based services nationwide, Presidium successfully deployed their care delivery platform with Health Gorilla’s Patient360 API, which provides access to comprehensive patient data from a nationwide network of sources.

In their search for a data exchange vendor, Presidium Health considered several potential options, including data integration vendors or connecting with health information exchanges directly. Presidium selected Health Gorilla for three main reasons

  • Direct connections into multiple national exchanges (instead of using bridge connections).
  • Leverage of modern standards such as FHIR.
  • Seamless API integration experience and synchronized patient registration.

Presidium is also making use of Health Gorilla’s intuitive user interface (UI), which synchronizes patient registration with their own system. Additionally, Health Gorilla’s document filtering capabilities have become instrumental in removing redundancy and streamlining information for physicians.

“Organized patient data helps us bring whole-person healthcare to our patients 24/7, 365 days a year, wherever they call home,” says Laurent Bortolamiol, Vice President of Technology, Presidium Health. “Health Gorilla’s Patient360 is the solution we have been looking for, enabling the real-time retrieval of comprehensive data on our patients.”

Health Gorilla’s dedicated support team has also been a key asset in this successful collaboration, offering continuous assistance and multiple sandbox environments that match Presidium’s development, testing, demo, and production requirements.

“Presidium Health is dedicated to improving patient care and driving healthcare innovation,” says Steve Yaskin, CEO, Health Gorilla. “With Health Gorilla, Presidium’s providers can access patient records, making it possible for them to deliver care in the comfort of a patient’s home. We are honored to be part of their transformative journey.”

The partnership between Presidium Health and Health Gorilla marks a significant step forward in leveraging nationwide health information exchange to deliver better patient care. Health Gorilla is proud to contribute to Presidium Health’s mission of serving complex patients across the country with efficiency and compassion.

GE HealthCare Receives FDA Clearance of Allia IGS Pulse - the Next Generation of Image-Guided Systems Designed for Cardiac Imaging Excellence

Business Wire | October 18, 2023

GE HealthCare announced US FDA 510(k) clearance of Allia IGS Pulse - the latest addition to the company’s image guided system (IGS) offerings. Allia IGS Pulse features a new imaging chain engineered to provide exceptional imaging at the right dose for visible impact in complex cardiology interventions regardless of patient size. In modern healthcare today, cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to grow in prevalence, with CVDs being the leading cause of death globally. As clinicians work to treat CVDs, cardiology procedures continue to evolve as demand for minimally invasive surgery grows. GE HealthCare is committed to helping interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons and other interventional specialists use image guidance technologies to their full potential by optimizing workflows and providing exceptional image quality to help clinicians provide quality care to their patients, while also enabling better clinical and operational outcomes. According to a survey of interventionalists, nearly 50% of interventional procedures are performed at working positions where clinicians have poor access to user interface functions and display.3 Designed to address these challenges, the new Allia IGS Pulse provides a personalized workspace that meets the operator’s specific needs and preferences. As part of its new image chain, the system features the first monopolar x-ray tube used to capture images for interventional procedures. This new tube is powerful, yet quieter than normal conversation4 to optimize the operating environment during a procedure. The small footprint of the new tube also helps clinicians reach steep angulation for better understanding of coronary artery anatomy, even with the 30cm detector configurations. The latest version of MyIQ technology incorporated into the system allows clinicians to select their favorite image look from four different image styles with just one click for a tailored experience at no additional dose. In the treatment of complex cardiovascular diseases, image quality and optimized dose management regardless of patient size are also important to clinicians. With Allia IGS Pulse, interventionalists are able to get exceptional image quality for large and bariatric patients with a BMI of greater than 30. The system’s reduced pulse width and unmatched X-ray peak power helps to decrease motion blur for better visualization of moving elements such as vessels and devices. To relieve clinicians and technologists of the complex task of optimizing image quality and dose during procedures, Allia IGS Pulse takes AutoRight, the company’s intelligent image chain leveraging AI, a step further with AutoRight PLUS - the next generation of the automation platform. With AutoRight PLUS, the system now optimizes seven parameters in real time, including Focal Spot Shape. By removing the burden of manual adjustment during procedures, clinicians can stay focused on the procedure and treatment of their patients. To further optimize dose along the image chain, a unique suite of tools is also available to help support dose efficiency, dose reduction and dose awareness. Since January 2023, Allia IGS Pulse has been in pilot operations at Clinique Pasteur - Toulouse in Toulouse, France. “At Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse, we perform thousands of interventional cardiology procedures each year,” says Dr. Nicolas Dumonteil, Interventional Cardiologist, Clinique Pasteur, Toulouse. “As an operator of the Allia IGS Pulse system, I felt a significant and real improvement in the imaging quality, as well as a significant reduction of this noise in my daily procedures which gave me great confidence and comfort in the operating room. The system is also quite adaptable and versatile to all of my daily situations and procedures – from percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) to other complex and structural ones.” says Dr Raphaël Philippart, Interventional Cardiologist, Clinique Pasteur, Toulouse. I saw a significant improvement in the image quality, especially with obese patients and complex angioplasties - where a good visibility of my guidewire, balloons and stents are particularly important. [Source – Business Wire] “Interventional cardiology procedures require exceptional image quality,” says Arnaud Marie – General Manager of Interventional for GE HealthCare. “I’m excited by the addition of Allia IGS Pulse to our interventional offerings because it addresses the very things clinicians continue to tell us present challenges in their day-to-day practice. By developing new features to further evolve our core platform, we’re helping to reduce complexity and improve the operating environment so that clinicians can have a personalized workspace that better enables them to keep their focus where it belongs – on their patients.”
