Health data is some of the most personal information in a patient’s life. In the modern healthcare ecosystem, that data is widely dispersed across health system networks, labs, physician offices, online portals, and increasingly in the cloud. Patients need to trust in the security and privacy of their data—just as much as they need to trust those who care for them. It’s therefore paramount that healthcare data platforms include data privacy, compliance safeguards and more.

Disparities and variations in care exist in every health system, everywhere. These variations in care make it incredibly difficult for healthcare providers to enable precision medicine. How can we help reduce this gap in order to further the goal of improving patient outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem? At Syapse, we believe the answer requires a patient-centered approach with a data-driven foundation. We’re using our deep experience partnering with large, regionally-based community health systems and Life Sciences companies to generate Real-World Evidence-based solutions to address variations in care and health disparities throughout the patient care journey.
