GE's Healthcare Arm Plans to Advance Sepsis Care Technology
Read MoreHide Full Article
General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) business arm — GE Healthcare — recently announced that it will soon roll out a software application that will provide superior management of sepsis patient care. The application will enhance the capabilities of Health & Science University (OHSU) hospital’s Mission Control Center. The company stated that its latest algorithm and sepsis tile will be able to detect sepsis more efficiently, before it even strikes a patient.
The sepsis disease is hard to diagnose, and becomes life threatening, if not detected early. GE Healthcare’s new software application will provide its monitoring services for both intensive care unit and general sepsis patients. The tile will not only detect sepsis more promptly, but will also propose actions to improve sepsis patient care. On the basis of the risk-detection signals provided by this algorithm, the OHSU’s mission controllers will take actions to ensure best possible care ofsepsis patients.
The OHSU unveiled its National Aeronautics and Space Administration-style Mission Control Center in July 2017, to coordinate between partner community hospitals and academic health center. The Mission Control Center assists in reducing delays in patient care, enhancing patient transfers, lowers duration of a patient’s hospital stay and fixes disparate data systems. Since its opening, the OSHU’s Mission Control Centre has significantly increased patient transfers to associate community hospitals.
GE Healthcare is a $19-billion business arm of General Electric. It provides state-of-the-art monitoring, medical-imaging, gene-therapy and bio-manufacturing technologies across the globe. In sync with the company’s portfolio-restructuring strategy, this June, General Electric announced that it will separate GE Healthcare and turn it into a stand-alone company. The company plans to sell 20% interest in GE Healthcare and intends to distribute 80% stake to shareholders in a tax-free manner. This spin-off will likely be completed over the next 12-18 months.
General Electric is poised to grow on the back of stronger innovation, strategic restructuring moves, solid international presence and robust end-market sales. However, over the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has lost 7.5%, as against 1.7% growth registered by the industry.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
