OMNY Health announced that it has partnered with the nation’s leading community-based ophthalmology practices to launch a first-of-a-kind, real-world data ecosystem focused on driving collaborative research partnerships to advance treatments and improve outcomes in patients with ophthalmic disorders. Derived from electronic health record data, OMNY solutions provide valuable information on the evolving treatment paradigm for patients with ophthalmic disease, including difficult to obtain insights on the rationale behind treatment decisions, and the impact of social determinants of health on care delivery and outcomes. De-identified images from retinal scans and other images also are available from ecosystem partners, allowing researchers to view physical changes in condition severity over time.
A diverse set of providers are participating in the ecosystem, from large independent ophthalmology group practices to academic medical centers, integrated delivery networks, specialty hospitals, and regional health systems. Practices participating in the OMNY ecosystem will leverage OMNY’s platform to opt into clinical trials, prospective observational surveys, and other collaborative research opportunities.
“We are thrilled to welcome our new ophthalmology providers to our network. Over the past year, we have made great strides connecting researchers and providers in the dermatology space and are looking forward to making the same level of impact on ophthalmology,” said Mitesh Rao, MD, CEO, OMNY Health.
“US Eye looks forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership with OMNY Health and find new ways to leverage our data internally,” said Kinga Huse, President, US Eye. “The ability to make more data-driven decisions that improve outcomes and the patient experience will be a valuable asset for our providers and patients.”
“We are excited to have a partner in OMNY that chose to prioritize Ophthalmology. As a data driven organization, we view this partnership as a conduit to leverage our data to gain new insights in providing care for our patients. The added visibility into additional clinical research opportunities will allow our providers to continue their focus on finding new ways to care for and treat our patients in their efforts to preserve sight,” said Amy Goodson-Burke, Chief Revenue Officer, American Vision Partners.
“As a leading administrative services provider for top notch ophthalmology practices, Sight Growth Partners’ primary focus is to listen to our doctors and provide support for them so they can care for their patients in a better way. We are partnering with OMNY Health to do exactly that…exceed our physician’s needs so they can exceed their patient’s needs,” said Jonathan Lujan, CEO, Sight Growth Partners.
