DENVER, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita Inc.
(NYSE: DVA), a leading independent medical group and a leading
provider of kidney care services in the United States, today announced its continued
investment in the newly named technology suite, DaVita Physician
Solutions (formerly Falcon Physician), affirming its increased
focus on improving physician satisfaction and clinical
outcomes.
DaVita Physician Solutions will leverage artificial intelligence
and platform-driven thinking to help make sure physicians have
access to the right data, at the right time. A key innovator in the
health care technology sector, DaVita Physician Solutions is
focused on reducing physician IT fatigue through modern technology,
with the goal of increasing quality of care and decreasing cost,
while improving overall physician satisfaction.
"We are committed to seeing the world from our physicians'
perspective, and as their partner, it's our obligation to address
their challenges and frustrations through the delivery of our
technology," said Adam Weinstein, MD
and vice president of medical affairs with clinical IT services at
DaVita Kidney Care.
Within four months, DaVita Physician Solutions' new mobile
platform has 3,000 active users, demonstrating its value of
physicians' time through instant access to clinical information and
easing administrative burden. Over the next 18 months, DaVita
Physician Solutions will leverage the existing mobile platform to
deliver improvements for physicians at point-of-care, as well as
the launch of new products for practices and dialysis centers.
"While it might seem counterintuitive, we want our physicians to
spend as little time per interaction with our tools as possible.
The right technology should support our physicians in making the
biggest impact in the least amount of time, giving them time back
to spend where it matters most—on patient care," said Derek Schoonover, vice president of physician
experience and DaVita Physician Solutions at DaVita Kidney
Care.
