Standard Register has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100 percent ownership interest in Dialog Medical, a provider of informed consent and patient education systems for physician practices and hospitals.

Standard Register will operate Atlanta-based Dialog Medical as a wholly owned subsidiary that will report through Standard Register Healthcare, a business unit of Standard Register.

Standard Register Healthcare provides services and technology for patient identification verification, patient safety and expediting workflow. It serves more than 3,000 clients including 62 percent of U.S. hospitals, according to Dayton, Ohio-based Standard Register.

Terms of the transaction, which is expected to close by June 30, were not disclosed.

Standard Register Healthcare and Dialog Medical will continue to serve their respective customers as well provide a combined portfolio of products and services, Standard Register said. Dialog Medical will continue to operate from its office in Atlanta, and will report to Brad Cates, president of Standard Register Healthcare, the company added.
