GE HealthCare and UCSF Health announced a 10-year Care Alliance collaboration focused on implementing advanced imaging and strengthening care delivery across the health system. UCSF Health will implement GE HealthCare imaging solutions across multiple clinical settings.
Building on a decades-long relationship between the University of California, San Francisco and GE HealthCare, this Care Alliance represents the first major agreement between GE HealthCare and UCSF Health and will enable expanded radiologic technologist (rad tech) education, magnetic resonance (MR) excellence, and remote imaging solutions.
Designing hospitals and care models around that standard requires long-term decisions about clinical infrastructure and technology. The Care Alliance supports UCSF Health in making those decisions deliberately, integrating advanced imaging capabilities into its new hospitals while enabling patients across the system to access innovative technology today.
Care Alliance focus areas:
- Advance innovative remote scanning support - UCSF Health and GE HealthCare intend to increase accessibility and reduce barriers so patients can benefit from remote scanning capabilities, bringing complex procedures and high-quality care to patients when and where they need it most.
- Radiologic technologist education and workforce development - As part of UCSF Health’s Career Pathways Initiative, supported by Crankstart, Tipping Point Community, and the Ignite Fund, the alliance will deepen a specialized Radiologic Technologist education and workforce development program designed to address critical workforce needs while creating sustainable career pathways. It will include structured education, hands-on clinical training, and a peer-to-peer immersion model that enables experienced technologists to mentor and accelerate the readiness of emerging and transitioning talent across the region and beyond.
- Drive magnetic resonance (MR) excellence - UCSF Health and GE HealthCare aim to strengthen MR performance, optimize protocols, and integrate service management to support consistent, high-quality imaging across the system.
