HIMSS 2022: GOOGLE HEALTH ANNOUNCES MEDITECH AS THE FIRST EHR VENDOR TO
INTEGRATE WITH CARE STUDIO

The "early stages" collaboration represents another avenue for Google Health to
get its pre-commercial clinical software in front of practicing clinicians. The
companies' joint effort will be built on Google Cloud infrastructure, which
Meditech has leaned on for web services since 2019. (achinthamb/Shutterstock)

ORLANDO, Florida—Just a week after pulling back the curtain on new natural
language processing features for Care Studio, its clinician-facing patient
record interface, at the ViVE conference in Miami, Google Health took to HIMSS
2022 to announce the technology's first-ever integration with an electronic
health record vendor.



In a blog post, the tech giant wrote that it has entered into a collaboration
with Meditech to develop “a deeply integrated solution” that marries the search,
contextualization and data harmonization capabilities of Google Health’s Care
Studio with Meditech Expanse, the vendor’s web-based EHR platform.

“Using Google Health’s tools, Meditech will form a longitudinal health data
layer, bringing together data from different sources into a standard format and
offering clinicians a full view of patient records,” Google Health wrote in the
to-be-published blog post. “And with Google Health’s search functionality
embedded into their EHR, clinicians can find salient information faster for a
more frictionless experience and the intelligent summarization can highlight
critical information directly in the Expanse workflow.”

Google wrote that the collaboration was still in its “early stages” and will be
built on Google Cloud infrastructure, which Meditech has leaned on for web
services since 2019. 

In a statement, Meditech Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
Helen Waters said the new deal "is the first step in a long-term collaboration"
between the companies. 

"Too much data can overburden clinicians, which is why we design our own
solution with personalized views of the most important information clinicians
want to see," Waters said. "Our partnership with Google Health builds upon this
mission, providing us with a unique opportunity to combine our expertise to
better solve the information burden our customers face."



Much like Google Health's other Care Studio partnerships with providers, any
patient data from Meditech it accesses will be encrypted, isolated in a
controlled access environment and remain separate from other consumer and
customer data that are sold or used for advertising, the tech company pledged in
its post.

Rather, Google Health said it sees the collaboration between Meditech’s EHR and
its patient data harmonization tools as another step forward for the industry in
regard to interoperability.

“We’re using [Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)] to support our
data harmonization, yet there is more to be done before FHIR is widely adopted
and systems can effectively exchange information,” Google Health wrote. “We’re
hopeful that collaborative approaches, much like what we’re working on with
Meditech, will help create more interoperable solutions and facilitate an open
ecosystem of data interoperability that benefits everyone.”

A representative of Google Health told Fierce Healthcare the integration is
another opportunity to inject the pre-commercial Care Studio into clinicians’
workflows and explore how it can be tweaked to better streamline their work.  



Meditech has 2,250 customers across 23 countries and currently claims about 23%
of the EHR market share, the Google Health representative told Fierce
Healthcare. Still, the tech giant does not expect this integration to reach all
those customers in the short term, they said.

“We at Google Health want to partner, and definitely understand that partnership
is critical to overcoming the fragmentation challenges most people in healthcare
face,” the representative told Fierce Healthcare. “I do think there’s an
opportunity for us to work with other EHR vendors in a similar way.”

To date, Google has publicly developed and piloted its clinical software
exclusively with provider partners like Ascension and Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center—and even then faced criticisms from those concerned about the
risks to patient data privacy.

With the Conditions feature demoed last week at ViVE, Google Health outlined how
its software can use natural language processing to surface relevant patient
information and potential conditions based on the information from patients'
medications, labs, visits and notes.

Here, the company touted its ability to recognize medical concepts that could be
misspelled or written in shorthand—for instance, “multiple sclerosis
exacerbation” or “MS flare.” Care Studio can also flag if certain relevant
information is missing from a patient’s records and will organize its
recommendations by acuity so clinicians can quickly determine whether their
condition is acute or chronic.
