With a more connected and efficient digital lab
process, Health Gorilla and Amwell reinforce their commitment to
accessible hybrid care
Health Gorilla, a privacy-focused health information network and
interoperability solution provider, and Amwell® (NYSE: AMWL), a
global leader in hybrid care enablement, announce a new lab
capability within the Amwell Converge™ virtual care platform.
Providers practicing on the Converge platform will be able to offer
patients a more connected hybrid care experience through
streamlined lab processes, enhanced digital diagnostic data
capabilities, and access to a broader nationwide lab network.
An individual’s medical journey is highly dependent on
diagnostic lab results. Up to 70% of clinical decisions are
influenced by laboratory results1 and approximately 30% of patient
encounters result in a provider ordering a lab test2. Secure
digital access to diagnostic results is essential for a seamless
patient experience. This new lab capability is a natural extension
of Amwell’s commitment to enabling accessible virtual care by
granting providers practicing on the Converge platform expanded
access to lab orders and results from patients’ preferred lab
networks, including local, regional and nationwide lab
companies.
"Health Gorilla’s lab automation system is leveraged by leading
provider organizations to automate their clinical workflows, and
we’re thrilled to add Amwell as our newest collaborator," said
Steve Yaskin, chief executive officer at Health Gorilla. "Labs are
a critical variable in the patient's care journey, and we're proud
to empower providers using the Amwell Converge platform with more
access to diagnostic data."
The Converge platform enables providers, insurers, patients and
innovators to deliver more affordable, higher quality care across
all hybrid environments, including in-person, virtual and automated
care. As part of the expanded partnership, Health Gorilla’s lab
automation system will optimize diagnostic ordering, which will
increase the efficiency of Amwell clinicians, leading to faster
diagnoses and improved patient outcomes. With access to Health
Gorilla’s APIs within the Converge platform, providers can place
lab orders electronically, review test results and automate manual
processes all from one platform.
“As more primary and specialty care providers make the move to
virtual, we see how data and analytics can inform and influence
patient care – at the point of care – in ways they haven’t been
able to with in-person visits,” said Roy Schoenberg, president and
chief executive officer at Amwell. “With Health Gorilla’s new
superpowers integrated in our platform, providers can go beyond lab
data and access broader insights that enable them to adapt patient
care in real-time. This makes Health Gorilla the right strategic
partner for Amwell and our collective goals.”
Health Gorilla and Amwell will be present at HLTH 2023
conference, Oct. 8-10 in Las Vegas. In a session titled, “CEO
Perspectives on the Future of Hybrid Care” both company leaders
will discuss the future of virtual care, emergence of hybrid care
models and state of the overall healthcare market. The session
begins at 10:30 a.m. PT on Monday, Oct. 9 at booth 3029.
