At its core, the relationship between Xealth and Cerner aims to
give patients their own digital data so they can be more engaged in
their treatment plans. The Xealth platform is designed to help
clinicians easily integrate, prescribe and monitor digital health
tools for patients from one location in the EHR. Care teams will be
able to order solutions directly from the EHR to manage conditions
including chronic diseases, behavioral health, maternity care and
surgery preparation. Incorporating Xealth into Cerner’s technology
and patient portal will provide easier access to personal health
information and give care teams the ability to monitor patient
engagement with the tools, as well as analyze the effects of
increased engagement on the patient’s health care and recovery.
During the recent surge of COVID-19 across the world, tools that
automate patient education, deliver virtual care, support
telehealth and offer remote patient monitoring have become even
more prominent, creating new methods to inform care decisions and
keep care teams and patients connected.
“Today, we have the unique opportunity to improve people’s lives
by allowing active participation in their own treatment plans,”
said David Bradshaw, Senior Vice President, Consumer and Employer
Solutions, Cerner. “Patients want greater access to their health
information and are motivated to help care teams find the most
appropriate road to recovery. Xealth and Cerner hope to make it
easier and more convenient for patients and clinicians to
accelerate health care in a more consumer-centric experience.”
The collaboration between Cerner and Xealth will provide care
teams and patients convenience and help improve care accessibility.
Better communications and engagement between patients and key
members of their care team will create an experience that is
connected across settings before, during and after a care
encounter. Xealth powers more than 30 digital health solutions,
connecting patients with educational content, remote patient
monitoring, virtual care platforms, e-commerce product
recommendations and other services needed to improve health
outcomes.
“In order for digital health to have lasting impact, it needs to
show value and ease for both the care team and patient,” said Mike
McSherry, CEO and Co-Founder of Xealth. “We strongly believe that
technology should nurture deeper patient-provider relationships and
facilitate information sharing across systems and the care
settings. It is exciting to work with Cerner to simplify meaningful
digital health for its health partners.”
Cerner and LRVHealth join Xealth investors Atrium Health,
Cleveland Clinic, Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin,
MemorialCare Innovation Fund, Providence Ventures and UPMC as well
as Threshold Ventures, McKesson, Novartis, Philips, and ResMed.
“Combining our expertise in developing interactive digital
solutions that improve the patient experience with Cerner’s
world-class platforms creates immense opportunity for our clients
to better meet the needs of today’s highly connected health care
consumer,” concluded McSherry.
