August 19, 2021 – HCA Healthcare and General Catalyst, a global venture capital firm, announced the sale of HCA Healthcare’s PatientKeeper to General Catalyst’s portfolio company Commure along with an investment in Commure and the formation of a new strategic collaboration to accelerate digital transformation.
PatientKeeper is a provider of intuitive software and mobile applications that help physicians and care teams access and work with patient information.
Commure is building a universal platform and common architecture for open collaboration and people-first care.
HCA Healthcare will continue to deploy PatientKeeper technology at its more than 180 hospitals across the country.
As part of Commure, PatientKeeper will migrate to Commure’s cloud infrastructure, making it easier to develop and deploy modern software to serve clinicians, without compromising patient privacy and data security excellence, the companies say.
HCA Healthcare will license the Commure platform and will work with Commure and General Catalyst to develop new solutions for care providers with the same provider focus that has made PatientKeeper successful.
In addition to the Commure/PatientKeeper partnership, General Catalyst and HCA Healthcare will collaborate on new ways to connect HCA Healthcare to other Silicon Valley innovations and technologies, and to enable HCA Healthcare to work together with GC and its ecosystem on co-development ideas and opportunities.
