GE expects that Veritas will support its current expertise in healthcare IT segment to bolster the scale and performance of its care division.
GE Healthcare Value-Based Care Solutions vice-president and general manager Jon Zimmerman said: “Our team has significant knowledge and expertise in the healthcare IT space, and by operating as a standalone business under Veritas’ ownership, we now have the opportunity to further revitalise our product portfolio and pursue complementary acquisitions to better serve patients, providers and payers.
“With Veritas’ support and resources, we are excited to continue deepening our commitment and capabilities to help healthcare providers manage their financial, clinical, and employee workflows across the continuum of care.”
In turn, Veritas intends to leverage the new opportunity and provide the means required to cater to a $9bn market for digitalising healthcare.
