Google is teaming up with Tennessee-based health system HCA Healthcare to help it consolidate and store digital health records and develop algorithms to improve operational efficiency, patient monitoring, and clinical decision-making.

This marks yet another major Google expansion into the healthcare provider space—which will be key for its electronic health record (EHR) endeavors to stick:

  • In the last six months, Google Health has turbocharged its innovation in AI tools, clinical research, and EHRs. In February, it introduced CareStudio—its very own EHR-agnostic data navigation tool that organizes medical records and creates a comprehensive view of a patient’s health profile. Before that, it inked multiple deals with healthcare provider organizations like Highmark Health, Hologic, and the Mayo Clinic to develop AI-driven algorithms for improving personalized health initiatives, medical imaging, and cancer diagnostics.
  • And while Google has partnered with healthcare provider organizations before, they’ve never been at this scale. HCA has over 2,000 care sites across 21 states, and is responsible for around 5% of all US hospital services annually, according to HCA’s Annual Impact report.
