Beamtree, ASX-listed provider of health technology solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership to roll out its AI data and decision support products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Its latest deal with Lean, a health technology enterprise in Saudi, involves the proposed implementation of Beamtree's technology offerings in over 450 public and private hospitals in the kingdom, including hospitals under the Ministry of Health.

Those offerings include Beamtree's PICQ, a SaaS which automates the audit of classification and supports clinical record coders to improve data quality. Its AI decision support products, such as RippleDown, will also be promoted, along with its latest offerings in computer-assisted coding that facilitate real-time data analytics and decision support.

WHY IT MATTERS

Data and decision support are at the core of Saudi Arabia's national health reform programme, Vision 2030.

Through Beamtree and Lean's partnership, the companies will be able to support public health services in the kingdom to "improve the quality of hospital data and analytic insight through the audit and automation of clinical record classification."

"This strategic partnership provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to the ambitious health reform agenda in Saudi Arabia," Beamtree said in a company disclosure.

THE LARGER TREND

The signing of this new partnership follows Beamtree's recent completion of a major $1.45 million contract to support the data transformation of Saudi's public health services through an audit of their hospital network data analytics. The audit has offered strategic recommendations to improve analytics and use of important patient healthcare data for better patient outcomes, reduced wastage, and operational efficiency.

The company's expansion in Saudi Arabia also comes over a year after it rebranded to Beamtree and acquired two healthcare analytics firms – Ainsoff and Potential(x), becoming a major healthcare data and decision support player in Asia-Pacific.
