Recent technology acquisitions and Genomic Proteomic Sequencing (GPS) testing to help advance population health, value-based outcomes, and next-generation standard of cancer care
NantHealth to exhibit in booth #5554 and at the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase
February 24, 2016 08:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
CULVER CITY, Calif.–NantHealth, LLC, a transformational company converging the power of genomic science and healthcare IT through a highly scalable cloud-based platform, today announced that it will be exhibiting at booth #5554 during the 2016 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS16) Conference in Las Vegas on February 29-March 4, 2016. Recognized as one of the premiere healthcare industry conferences, HIMSS16 brings together healthcare professionals across the globe.
At the event, NantHealth will showcase its rich solutions portfolio that support the company’s vision of delivering on whole health systems integration and revolutionizing the patient-clinician experience by bringing real-time molecular and evidence-based insights to the point of care. Today, NantHealth’s solutions are found in over 2,000 leading hospitals and health systems worldwide, used by more than 75 percent of oncology practices in the United States, and serve more than 40 health plan customers—impacting nearly 100 million covered lives. In addition, NantHealth will continue to share the vision behind Cancer Breakthroughs 2020, a recently launched nationwide initiative that aims to accelerate the potential of combination immunotherapy as the next-generation standard of care for cancer patients.
“The fight against cancer and other life-threatening diseases needs to be a collaborative effort,” said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, founder and chief executive officer of NantHealth and leader of the Cancer Breakthroughs 2020 program. “By combining the power of genomics and proteomics with best-in-class healthcare IT software applications, we stand a better chance of diagnosing a patient’s disease and prescribing the right treatment, while ensuring that providers have all the tools they need to effectively manage their patient populations, coordinate care across the continuum, and meet value-based reimbursement needs with payers.”
Dr. Soon-Shiong continued, “Our team is excited to be at HIMSS16 to showcase how NantHealth is making this vision into reality. With GPS Cancer™, a comprehensive multiomic-based test in development at NantHealth, we will provide a sneak peek into the power of DNA and RNA sequencing—with quantitative proteomics—that can help inform personalized treatment options for cancer patients. In addition, we will showcase our comprehensive suite of software solutions—recently expanded through our acquisition of NaviNet, Inc. in January 2016—that can manage a patient’s journey throughout the care continuum, while helping providers and payers to deliver better care quality at lower costs. Combined, these capabilities deliver on our 10-year vision of integrating our complex healthcare ecosystem from the knowledge domain, to the care delivery domain, and now to the payer domain, as a real-time, secure adaptive learning system.”
NantHealth will provide more information Cancer Breakthroughs 2020 and exhibit the following solutions at booth #5554 and in the Interoperability Showcase at HIMSS16:
- Precision Cancer Care: The industry’s most comprehensive solution—combining genomic and proteomic sequencing and population health management applications—that deliver omically-driven, evidenced-based treatment support for cancer patients while helping oncologists drive better outcomes at lower costs for cancer populations.
- Provider and Patient Engagement: A rich suite of applications—provider and patient portals, care coordination, clinical decision support, and others—that help health systems deliver collaborative, data-driven care for chronic populations.
- Wellness and Care Management: A set of applications and remote monitoring devices (e.g., weight scales, blood pressure cuffs, etc.) that help payers and self-insured employers proactively educate, inspire, and encourage healthy behaviors within their member or employee populations.
- Payer-Provider Collaboration: A suite of administrative and financial applications—eligibility and benefits, claims management, referrals, authorizations, document exchange, and more—that help payers and providers communicate in real-time, close care gaps, and meet value-based reimbursement objectives.
- Health Monitoring: A solution that captures patient data from medical devices and seamlessly delivers that data into electronic health records (EHR) or other data repositories, allowing clinicians to spend less time entering data and more time caring for patients.
- Knowledge and Insights: Solution combining risk stratification, decision support, and value-based analytics applications to help transform the wealth of data across health systems into actionable insights so physicians, executive management, and operational leaders can drive continuous improvement in care quality, outcomes, and efficiency.

About Cancer Breakthroughs 2020
The Cancer Breakthroughs 2020 Program is the nation’s most comprehensive cancer collaborative initiative seeking to accelerate the potential of combination immunotherapy as the next generation standard of care in cancer patients. This initiative aims to explore a new paradigm in cancer care by initiating randomized Phase II trials in patients at all stages of disease in 20 tumor types in 20,000 patients within the next 36 months. These findings will inform Phase III trials and the aspirational cancer initiative to develop an effective vaccine-based immunotherapy to combat cancer by 2020.
