Siemens Healthineers is entering the population health management market through a partnership with IBM.
The move comes about two years after Cerner acquired the hospital information systems business line of Siemens Healthcare, leaving medical imaging and diagnostic laboratories as Siemens’ core business in the United States, with the name changed to Siemens Healthineers.
Now, Siemens will sell IBM’s Watson Care Manager population health management suite of software and services, as well as offering consulting services.
