Amwell and HealthGorilla announce new lab capability with Converge platform

Health Gorilla and interoperability solution provider Amwell announce a new lab capability within the Amwell Converge virtual care platform. Providers practicing on the Converge platform will be able to offer patients a more connected hybrid care experience through streamlined lab processes, enhanced digital diagnostic data capabilities, and access to a broader nationwide lab network. An individual’s medical journey is highly dependent on diagnostic lab results. Up to 70% of clinical decisions are influenced by laboratory results1 and approximately 30% of patient encounters result in a provider ordering a lab test…”Health Gorilla’s lab automation system is leveraged by leading provider organizations to automate their clinical workflows, and we’re thrilled to add Amwell as our newest collaborator,” said Steve Yaskin, chief executive officer at Health Gorilla. “Labs are a critical variable in the patient’s care journey, and we’re proud to empower providers using the Amwell Converge platform with more access to diagnostic data.”
