Boston, MA and Ann Arbor, MI, May 22, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UbiCare and Truven Health Analytics, an IBM Watson Health Company, have signed a business partnership agreement to bring their mutual healthcare knowledge to hospitals and health systems nationwide.
With more than 50 years of combined experience in healthcare, both companies offer proven solutions to help providers impact patient outcomes while improving quality, enhancing staff efficiencies, and reducing costs.
“Building on our shared healthcare expertise, we are excited to work together on enterprise healthcare solutions, whether it’s a better way to engage patients, improve quality of care or make better use of existing digital solutions,” said Betsy Weaver, Ed.D, UbiCare CEO.
