HealthTech acquires MedHost

HealthTech Holdings, a healthcare technology holding company and parent of Healthcare Management Systems (HMS), has acquired MedHost, a provider of emergency department information systems, for an undisclosed sum. 

The companies will develop an integrated emergency department system for the HMS enterprise-wide solution designed for community hospitals, according to the Nashville, Tenn.-based HealthTech.

The company also said that the acquisition comes on the heels of HMS’ recent addition of the HMS ambulatory EHR, which enabled the company to offer a clinical package that incorporates physician practice management and EHR functionality between the physician office and hospital.

With MedHost, HMS will gain new products, with the goal of a complete health information system offering, HealthTech said. Under the terms of the agreement, Addison, Texas-based MedHost will develop a product designed for the community hospital market.
