Precision medicine has great potential for individualized diagnoses and treatment for cancer patients. However, due to the increasing number of complex data sources needed to leverage it effectively, clinicians need tools to help them seamlessly aggregate all key data to provide a clear, intuitive view of a patient's condition. With the latest additions to the solution, IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition is designed to enable the seamless flow of data, information enterprise management and improved care, combining Radiology, Cardiology and growing towards Precision Medicine.

"In the constantly evolving health IT landscape, we're dedicated to working with leading hospital organizations like CarolinaEast, to provide them the most advanced technology and adaptive intelligence to manage vast amounts of patient-generated data to help drive precision diagnosis," said Carla Kriwet, Chief Business Leader of Connected Care at Philips. "With the additional capabilities of IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition, clinicians at CarolinaEast have access to data from disparate sources – including integrated information within the EHR – and predictive analytics, to help drive better informed care decisions."

CarolinaEast leverages IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition

CarolinaEast Health System, an award-winning health system for patient experience and cardiac care, was one of the first to collaborate with Philips to implement IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition, which began with the Philips Radiology and Cardiology portfolios. Having first implemented Philips IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition in the fall of 2018, early results show improvements in workflow, communication and operational efficiencies.
