Streamlining the Delivery of Proven Healthcare Solutions

Healthcare in the United States is changing dramatically. The fee-for-service model of reimbursement is shifting towards a value-based model—one that prioritizes quality of outcomes over volume of services. The move towards value-based care is intended to deliver safe, effective and favorable outcomes for patients at a manageable cost.

These industry-wide changes create robust opportunities for innovation around the delivery of care and the vital connection between clinicians and patients. Our caregivers are responding to this change with solutions that capitalize on know-how and information technology. Health IT and Delivery Solutions continue to be the fastest growing sectors in Innovations’ portfolio, now making up over 30% of all invention disclosures. This new wave of systemic, value-based solutions is requiring commercialization offices to examine their structure and blaze new trails to achieve successful outcomes.

ADEO is one of these trails. In February, we launched the ADEO marketplace, complete with a marketing platform, e-commerce capabilities, as well as functionality to request a quote with a few clicks. ADEO is Innovations’ first e-commerce company designed to deliver ready-to-purchase healthcare solutions directly to the customer.

The idea came from our own Innovations personnel who had a plethora of great health IT and delivery solutions and an overabundance of interested parties. Leveraging a digital ecosystem, we found there was a great opportunity to streamline the exposure, procurement and delivery of promising value-based solutions to a variety of organizations and clinical consumers.

ADEO solutions aren’t just any solutions. ADEO is the culmination of easy-to-purchase and easy-to-integrate products that are directly derived from premier and trusted organizations within our Global Healthcare Innovations Alliance. Products on ADEO come straight from institutional workflows and currently include a variety of mobile apps, survey tools, playbooks, and software solutions, ranging from orthopaedic testing like simVitro, to heredity tracking and risk stratification, like Cologene and MyFamily. We anticipate this marketplace will scale to be a go-to place for any healthcare organization looking to streamline practices to offer better care.

As healthcare transforms, we find that many organizations are unnecessarily going it alone. We hope ADEO will serve an example of how a group of top-notch institutions are solving today’s practical problems in healthcare delivery, and that this spurs others to share and commercialize their own great solutions.

In other words, ADEO isn’t meant to be just a marketplace. We want it to be the beginning of a conversation.
