Collaborating for Impact: Real-World Use Cases from Provider-Industry Partnerships

This insights-driven webinar highlights how US health systems are redefining care delivery, clinical research, and operational performance by engaging in strategic collaborations with technology innovators, life science partners, and clinical research networks. These partnerships are grounded in the use of real-world data (RWD) to power innovation and impact across healthcare domains.

Key Themes:

• RWD as a Catalyst: Institutions are leveraging RWD not only to enhance patient care but also to streamline clinical trials and inform strategic decisions.
• Strategic Industry Collaborations: Cross-sector partnerships with tech companies and industry sponsors are central to unlocking new capabilities in data-driven care
• Focus on Scalability and Operational Excellence: Programs are designed to be scalable and results-oriented, improving clinical outcomes while optimizing research and operational workflows. 

Featured Speakers and Initiatives

• Sameer Sethi, SVP and Chief AI & Insights Officer at Hackensack Meridian Health, shares how the health system is advancing behavioral health initiatives through its partnership with Holmusk and other partnerships across oncology and neurology practices. There is a need for holistic integration of AI and real-world therapeutic-specific data.
  
  
• Dr. Angela Lorts, Director of the Ventricular Assist Device Program and Director of Industry Partnerships & Innovation at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, discusses how pediatric heart care is being transformed through collaborative registry networks and partnerships with device manufacturers. Dr. Lorts stresses that innovation in pediatric  cardiology is driven by shared clinical data and the use of research platforms to power clinical transformation, much like they do with the ACTION Learning Network.
  
  
• Dr. Daniel Edmonston, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Duke Medicine, explores how integrated provider-industry efforts with Boehringer Ingelheim are enhancing real-world evidence generation in diabetes and kidney disease research with mortality data. This helps to improve trial efficiency and enhance evidence quality.
