This document provides strategies for startups to partner with healthcare systems based on Geisinger Health System's experience. It discusses knowing the healthcare system partner, including their needs, budgets, and pain points. When pitching a partnership, startups should clearly articulate their vision and ability to deliver value, such as solving a real problem. Terms of the partnership should be clear upfront, with the startup considering what value it can provide, and what it needs from the healthcare system partner, such as help with demonstrations, clinical trials, or future customers.
