Healthcare Saas platform provides real-time clinical decision support within existing workflows

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SaVia Health, a clinician-led healthcare SaaS company that creates and embeds patient care processes alongside electronic medical records (EMR), announced it raised an $8.5 million Seed round. The round was led by Intel Capital with participation from Kickstart, Peterson Ventures, Tom Burton, the founder of Health Catalyst, and Dr. Brent James, a professor at Stanford and renowned luminary in the healthcare quality improvement field.

SaVia Health was founded by a clinician, Dr. Will Caldwell, and a group of veteran healthcare software engineers led by David Edwards based in Salt Lake City, UT, seeking to provide clinicians with the ability to self-author clinical care pathways and provide clinical advice at the point of care.

�When I first saw clinicians using the SaVia tools, I knew the platform was something special. Never in my 21 years of clinical practice have I seen a piece of technology so fiercely embraced by clinicians,� said Dr. Will Caldwell, co-founder and CEO of SaVia Health. �Clinicians can finally design, implement, and modify care processes in a way that mirrors the rapidly evolving clinical landscape.�

�SaVia is a game changer when it comes to process redesign that enables deep operational and clinical improvement,� said Tom Burton, co-founder and Strategic Advisor of Health Catalyst. �With SaVia, dynamic workflow data capture changes can be made in minutes rather than weeks or months accelerating the speed of process improvement.�

Today, SaVia Health provides clinicians and administrators with a versatile software tool that transforms paper-based care processes into digital workflows, embedding them directly into the EMR. As a result, clinicians have real-time clinical advice at their fingertips. By standardizing care along best practice guidelines, mistakes are avoided and patients achieve better outcomes.

�Intermountain [Healthcare] caregivers have been using SaVia�s technology for years to provide the best possible care to our patients. SaVia�s tools enable front-line caregivers to consistently deliver best practices as part of their clinical workflows,� said Raj Srivastava, Senior Medical Executive Director at Intermountain Healthcare Delivery Institute. �We are thrilled to continue partnering with SaVia as an independent company to continue improving patient outcomes.�

�Patient care faces several challenges, including smoothly integrating the latest technology into existing processes,� said Nick Washburn, Senior Managing Director at Intel Capital. �SaVia is seamlessly changing the game for clinicians by translating data into guidance on what steps to take and when to best serve each patient.�

With this funding round, the company will further develop the self-authoring platform, expand its existing library of off-the-shelf applications, and focus on rapidly driving sales.
