ORHB Collaborates with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) on Solution to Alleviate Costly Aspect of Health Care

ORHub (OTC: ORHB) today introduced a new solution, built on Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure enterprise-grade cloud computing platform, that focuses on the single biggest cost center for health care: surgery. The company has created a value-based solution that tracks the cost of treating a condition from diagnosis to discharge, as well as outcomes that resulted from that treatment. This results in decreases in cost and improvement in outcomes by eliminating inefficiencies, duplication of effort, and errors and omissions. The company worked with Microsoft for Startups on a variety of technical engagements that helped create the digital platform’s initial architecture. The Microsoft for Startups team also helped ORHub with customer introductions, which proved to be impactful for clearly understanding customer needs. The company recently launched its second major hospital customer, and plans to roll-out to 1,100 hospitals in the next 18 months. “We went from concept to production in less than a year in Institutional Medicine. We couldn’t have done that without the knowledge and expertise of our friends at Microsoft. They cleared the way for us in terms of technology and regulatory safety by building platforms like Microsoft Azure which enables HIPAA compliance so that we could focus on what’s most important to us: delivering value to our customers,” ORHub Chief Technology Officer Wesley Mitchell stated in the news release.

About ORHub, Inc.

ORHub is a cloud-based software platform focused on delivering value-based medicine in surgical care. The company enables all parties involved in surgical care to work together to organize, deliver, measure and reimburse in a single uniform process. This allows for significant decreases in cost and improvement in outcomes by eliminating inefficiencies, duplication of effort, and errors and omissions that result from siloed processes in software and poor handoffs from one part of the care process to another. The need for ORHub is clear. Health care comprises more than 17% of US GDP at over $3 trillion dollars per year. With costs rising every year due to an aging population and more expensive treatments, providers are under severe pressure to become more efficient and reduce costs from payers who are aggressively reducing reimbursements and finally moving away from fee-for-service and toward performance-based reimbursement. ORHub enables providers to thrive in this new environment by addressing the single largest segment of health care, which is surgical care. ORHub replaces numerous legacy systems with a 360 degree system that is focused on tracking cost from diagnosis to discharge centered on treating a patient for a specific condition. ORHub has offices at Phoenix, Arizona; Newport Beach, California; and Bellevue, Washington. For more information, visit www.orhub.com.
