Persistent Systems Ltd.

Persistent Systems has entered into a strategic collaboration with Partners HealthCare, founded by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, to develop a new industry-wide open-source platform with the goal of bringing digital transformation to clinical care.

Persistent will help the digital transformation of clinical care at Partners and, together with Partners, develop an open-source platform to lower the barriers for knowledge exchange across health care providers and enable a new generation of decision support apps in the clinical environment.

This four-year collaboration will bring together the world class clinicians and researchers at Partners HealthCare with Persistent’s innovative healthcare technology and product engineering expertise.

The co-developed digital platform will be based on Substitutable Medical Applications & Reusable Technologies (SMART), an open, standards-based technology platform along with Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). The platform will enable provider systems across the country to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy industry-leading best practices in clinical care across their ecosystems.
