“Our team has significant knowledge and expertise in the healthcare IT space,” says Jon Zimmerman, vice president and general manager of value-based care solutions at GE Healthcare. “By operating as a standalone business under Veritas’ ownership, we now have the opportunity to further revitalize our product portfolio and pursue complementary acquisitions to better serve patients, providers and payers.”
GE Healthcare executives say the unit will continue to offer HIT solutions in data analytics, command centers, advanced visualization and image management tools.
“We’re confident this business will flourish under Veritas Capital, while GE Healthcare will continue to significantly invest in core digital solutions, such as smart diagnostics, connected devices, AI and enterprise imaging, that will drive precision health for our customers,” says Kieran Murphy, president and CEO of GE Healthcare.
