CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, today announced the collaboration with Flatiron Health, a leading healthtech company dedicated to expanding the possibilities of point of care solutions in oncology, to integrate its comprehensive genomic testing directly into Flatiron’s cloud-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platform, OncoEMR® through the Molecular Profiling Integration (MPI). This integration will provide oncologists with seamless access to Tempus’ suite of testing options, enhancing their ability to deliver personalized cancer care.
Flatiron’s MPI—a two-way integration between laboratories and OncoEMR—will allow the 4,200 providers at more than 800 community-based cancer care locations across the U.S. in Flatiron’s network to order and receive results from Tempus directly in the OncoEMR workflow. The integration will enable electronic ordering, order tracking, and the receipt of Tempus test results directly within the OncoEMR platform, significantly reducing administrative burden and improving the experience for care providers.
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in the integration of Tempus’ molecular profiling capabilities into everyday oncology practice,” said Ezra Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Oncology at Tempus. “By leveraging Flatiron’s Molecular Profiling Integration within OncoEMR, we are enabling oncologists to access our comprehensive genomic tests with greater efficiency and precision, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.”
“Integrating Tempus' suite of testing options into OncoEMR marks a step forward in personalizing cancer care, enabling more precise diagnoses and tailored treatments for every person with cancer,” said Stephen Speicher, MD, Senior Medical Director, Head of Clinical Oncology and Safety at Flatiron. “This collaboration ensures oncologists across the Flatiron network have convenient access to the information needed to practice precision medicine, improve patient outcomes, and spend more meaningful time with their patients, ultimately enhancing the care experience for both providers and those they serve.”
A key feature of this integration includes unified ordering in which a single order form will be deployed across all MPI-participating practices, streamlining the process and ensuring consistency. Also, this integration will give providers comprehensive access to Tempus tests, including xT, xR, xF/xF+, xG/xG+ Ambry, xM/xM (NeXT Personal® Dx), as well as several AI-enabled, algorithmic, add-on tests.
