WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, today announced a new strategic partnership with Google Cloud to leverage its secure cloud technologies, advanced data analytics tools, machine learning capabilities, and its enterprise-ready artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Vertex AI. The collaboration will provide WellSky with new tools to address current and future challenges across the care continuum.
Vertex AI gives developers and data scientists extensive access to generative AI models, allowing them to build and customize their generative AI applications. Over the past few years, WellSky has significantly invested in modernizing its IT infrastructure, and this partnership with Google Cloud will accelerate those efforts. The goal is to better anticipate client needs, enabling better care for patients.
“Innovative solutions that make use of AI will dramatically improve healthcare over the next decade,” said Ryan Terry, managing director, healthcare and life sciences, at Google Cloud. “WellSky is pioneering the integration of new AI tools, including responsible generative AI, to support human expertise, amplify capabilities, and drive innovation across healthcare to impact better outcomes for providers, clinicians, and patients.”
AI tools embedded into WellSky solutions will allow WellSky to automate repetitive tasks that can be done without human interaction. For example, WellSky plans to equip healthcare providers with immediate access to contextually relevant historical patient information, trends, and anomalies to power more efficient, intelligent care during care transitions. Additionally, WellSky is automating portions of the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) assessment used in Medicare home healthcare—freeing caregivers to spend more time one-on-one with patients.
