If you were paying attention to the US elections over the last year, you've probably heard a lot about how the healthcare system in the US needs to be modernized and transformed. With the US economy currently at an all time bottom, the Obama administration is making bets on a few industries to make the US more efficient and stimulate jobs. The healthcare industry is one place where billions of dollars (already allocated) will be spent over the next several years.
Microsoft has the right infrastructure and tools to make this transformation happen quickly. One company at the right place at the right time with the right solution is gloStream,.
gloStream provides physicians and healthcare facilities across the U.S. with electronic medical record software and practice management solutions based on the Microsoft Office suite - delivered and supported through a nationwide network of local technology partners.
gloStream applications are secure, easy-to-use and the only solutions on the market embedded with Microsoft Office. With a simple user interface, robust voice recognition technology, and single-click access to all patient data, gloStream products help doctors improve patient care by streamlining workflow and creating efficiencies in office administration.
gloStream’s deep healthcare experience and its utilization of Microsoft technology (and specific use of Microsoft Office) provide doctors and staff with a secure, reliable, scalable, customizable and affordable EMR and PM solutions. gloSuite is easy to learn and use so doctors and staff can limit training time and get up their full patient load in a matter of days, not weeks. The Obama administration is giving $44,000 to each doctor to implement an EMR and gloStream is at the right place at the right time to take advantage of this opportunity.
I have been working with CEO Mike Sappington and his team over the last few months as part of our Enterprise Incubation program and the company has just been accepted in the Microsoft Startup Accelerator program and shall be engaged with our High Potential incubation team going forward.
The company just closed on a $7.5 million series B financing round co-lead by Beringea (Michigan’s largest VC firm) and members of gloStream's executive management team. Stay tuned in the future for more news on this highly innovative company.
