The Medical University of South Carolina health system (MUSC Health) has teamed up with Cleveland-based MetroHealth to launch a new non-profit company called Ovatient, which will offer new in-home care services. More specifically, the company will work to develop a technological platform that supports clinical workflow in higher-level and virtual care.
In addition, in a recent press release, MUSC and MetroHealth acknowledged the expansion of alternative healthcare businesses delivering more practical virtual treatment. They state that Ovatient might offer ease of access in addition to a less complicated connection to acute care when it is needed for users.
"Ovatient shifts care away from traditional care delivery sites and brings it to the customer. With our proprietary platform, we will accelerate and scale it, not just across MetroHealth and MUSC Health but to other health systems throughout the country," Michael Dalton, Ovatient CEO and entrepreneur-in-residence at MetroHealth.
