GE Healthcare, which is part of General Electric Co., recently announced that it has joined with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center that will create new employment opportunities in healthcare within the next few years. The partnership has resulted in a new company, Omnyx LLC, whose purpose is to improve both the speed and efficiency of interpreting lab results and reaching a diagnosis.
Omnyx’s purpose will be to market digital services that will enable lab techs to virtually share images and interpret results using advanced algorithms. Both GE and UPMC believe that patients will benefit from these services as they will reduce medical errors, decrease the amount of time it takes get lab results and make it possible to have pathology information integrated into individuals’ personal medical records electronically. Because of the nature of this work, many of the healthcare jobs created will rely heavily on technology.
