SAS and GE Healthcare have entered into a joint development and marketing agreement that enables GE Healthcare to apply SAS technology to analyze patient safety information to help hospitals prevent adverse medical events.

SAS Analytics will enable GE’s Patient Safety Organization (PSO) to mine the data and provide PSO-member hospitals with information to help identify the causes of risk, according to SAS, a business analytics software and services company based in Cary, N.C.

PSO members will collect and report adverse event data through a web-based medical event reporting system, SAS stated.
