Endless digital health solutions have emerged over the last few years. But eventually, they'll have to consolidate — and that's part of the cycle, investors said during a panel discussion on Sunday.
During MedCity News’ INVEST conference, CommonSpirit Health CIO Daniel Barchi laid out two critical actions that hospitals can take to help ensure their new technology investments will be worth their time and money. The first is to prioritize scalability, and the second is to involve frontline clinical staff early on in the process.
As technology advances, AI-powered tools will increasingly reduce the administrative burdens on healthcare providers.
Tia — a startup providing hybrid primary care, OB/GYN services and mental health care to women — is now partnered with Cedars-Sinai in addition to UCSF Health and CommonSpirit Health. Under Tia's partnership model, the company combines its primary care with health systems' specialty care to reduce fragmentation and advance preventive health.
The two companies plan to open a clinic in Phoenix this fall, and additional locations over the next five years. To start, Tia will offer virtual care services in Phoenix.

The $29 billion nonprofit health system started using Notable Health’s software to reduce the administrative burden for staff and make its existing systems interoperable.
