Graphite A Creative Partnership to Remove the Friction in Innovation for Health Systems

Healthcare is scaling digital through partnerships.

FTA

Graphite Health, a member-led company intent on transforming digital health care to improve patient outcomes and lower costs, launched today and announced its first three organizing members, SSM Health, Presbyterian Healthcare Services, and Intermountain Healthcare. Modeled on Civica Rx, a health utility company, Graphite Health will focus on health care interoperability challenges.

Building on a common data language, Graphite Health is creating a standardized, interoperable data platform that enables a secure and open marketplace to streamline the distribution of digital health solutions for both health systems and entrepreneurs. For entrepreneurs, the common data language addresses inefficiencies in data translation and supports the development of plug-and-play digital applications. In turn, health system members can implement trusted digital tools as easily as anyone can download an app from an app store to a smartphone. These improvements will lead to more convenience, better quality care, lower costs, and overall efficiency.

This is a very real problem. The app store for healthcare has been talked about since Steve Jobs stood on a stage all those years ago and made "app store" a common term for everyone. Graphite is solving the right problem with an interesting business model. I'm excited to see where this one goes.
