At the 10th annual Connected Health Conference, Partners HealthCare announced the formation of a new center of excellence—Partners HealthCare Pivot Labs—that aims to disrupt the delivery of healthcare to enhance the patient experience, improve clinical outcomes, and control costs.
Focusing on preventive care, chronic care management, and care coordination, Partners Pivot Labs in collaboration with Persistent Systems, builds on success in envisioning and validating patient-centered solutions at Partners HealthCare through its human-centered design team. The collaboration with Persistent Systems now adds the ability to develop and deploy digital innovations at scale directly to providers and consumers.
Together, Partners HealthCare and Persistent Systems are challenging conventional thinking to shift the focus to making healthcare fit the patient. With digital tools and an understanding of the healthcare consumer, Partners Pivot Labs will make care delivery more convenient, accessible, and consumer-centric by thinking about the patient holistically.
Partners Pivot Labs will openly collaborate with others in the healthcare industry—pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, medical technology companies, payers and providers—to accelerate ideas through the entire development lifecycle, from ideation, prototyping and validation to enterprise-wide deployment in a clinical environment.
