Royal Philips (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHIA) and Bon Secours Charity
Health System (BSCHS), a member of the Westchester Medical Center
Health Network (WMCHealth), today announced a multi-year, strategic
partnership agreement with a potential value of $180 million. The
agreement will make Philips solutions available to BSCHS in support
of their goal to transform the delivery of healthcare to the
residents of New York’s Hudson Valley, including population health
programs that can improve care and help build healthier
communities.
The partnership, which is based on an enterprise managed
services model, will provide BSCHS with advanced medical
technologies such as imaging systems, patient monitoring,
telehealth and clinical informatics solutions and a comprehensive
range of clinical and business consulting services. Additionally,
the collaboration will help BSCHS deliver on its mission of being a
leading provider of community health services in the Hudson Valley,
with a focus on redefining how quality care is delivered in areas
such as radiology, cardiology, neurology and pediatrics. Hospitals
and health systems with similar long-term strategic partnerships
are seeing a significant reduction in technology and service
spending, while enhancing productivity, optimizing performance and
improving clinical quality.
“As part of a regional health system, we want to increase
standardization, connectivity and optimization of our technology
resources, while still having the flexibility to invest in the
innovations we need to support healthier communities,” said Mary
Leahy, MD, CEO of Bon Secours Charity Health System. “By
collaborating with partners like Philips, we can go beyond
providing diagnosis and treatment and work on proactive health
management such as healthy living and prevention, building health
in our communities. Together, we can transform healthcare, creating
integrated solutions and patient care models, while providing
exceptional, compassionate care for all those we serve.”
The partnership between Philips and BSCHS builds on the existing
15-year, $500 million relationship between Philips and WMCHealth
which started in 2015. Through the agreement, BSCHS will work with
Philips to optimize standardization, workflow, and medical
technology deployment. With early and ongoing access to the latest
Philips innovations in healthcare technology and established best
practices, BSCHS should be able to further optimize its operational
effectiveness.
BSCHS consists of Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York;
Bon Secours Community Hospital in Port Jervis, New York and St.
Anthony Community Hospital in Warwick, New York, along with
long-term care facilities and other services.
In September of 2016, WMCHealth and BSCHS announced an
investment of $40+ million in Bon Secours Community Hospital and
the Port Jervis area that is expected to transform healthcare
delivery in the region, with an expanded emergency room, upgraded
imaging center and the conversion of 36 medical/surgical rooms from
semi-private to private for increased patient comfort and privacy.
Additionally, working with local partners, Bon Secours Community
Hospital will become the centerpiece of a “medical village” that
will bring together services key in nurturing a healthier
community. Through this agreement, Philips is expected to play a
key role in the redevelopment and renovation of Bon Secours
Community Hospital.
BSCHS joins other North American organizations such as Augusta
University Health (15-year term), Mackenzie Health (18-year term),
Marin General Hospital (15-year term) Medical University of South
Carolina (8-year term) and Banner Health (15-year term), as well
established global partners including Royal Belfast and Ashford St.
Peters, and the New Karolinska Solna (NKS) hospital in Sweden.
These partnerships underscore Philips’ commitment to provide new
solutions for hospitals and health systems, and highlight a growing
trend in both U.S. and global healthcare towards strategic
partnerships for creating long-term patient value.
“In order to improve people’s lives, we need to work closely
with forward thinking organizations like BSCHS, to break the cycle
of reactive care and focus on proactive population health
management, with innovative technologies and care delivery
solutions that empower people to be actively engaged in their
personal health,” said Brent Shafer, CEO of Philips North America.
“It is no longer good enough to treat people within the clinical
setting when they are ill; health systems need a dedicated partner
that can bring not just technology, but also deep healthcare and
consumer expertise, resources and solutions that will help
accelerate the transformation of their organization and ecosystem.
Our partnership with BSCHS reinforces our leadership in long-term,
strategic collaborations, while allowing them to expand access to
quality care, manage costs and share risk. Ultimately, this will
allow them to focus on their primary mission: delivering quality
care and building health for the people in their communities.”
