CHARLOTTE — Premier Inc., a Charlotte-based healthcare improvement company, has teamed up with Progknowse Inc., a precision medicine technology company, to create a technical platform for precision medicine.
Progknowse, based out of Tysons, Virginia, is working to develop and operationalize predictive algorithms for precise, actionable therapeutic recommendations to improve and personalize care delivery. It leverages the PremierConnect platform to access national data sets that include de-identified clinical outcomes data on approximately 45 percent of all U.S. patient discharges.
Progknowse said it accesses these data within a secure development space, which is used by data scientists to create predictive algorithms that advance and personalize treatment based on specific clinical, including genetic, information.
As part of the collaboration, Progknowse has announced partnerships with three leading U.S. health systems. The three health systems include LifeBridge Health in Baltimore, Maryland, Riverside Health System in Newport News, Virginia, and St. Luke’s University Health Network in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
“The Progknowse integration with PremierConnect has been seamless and the potential impact on patient care is limitless. Progknowse and Premier, working closely with our member health systems, has created a technical platform for precision medicine that will help clinicians provide more precise, accurate and safe medical care.”
