Office Practicum Acquires the Assets of Workflow.com

Horsham, PA, September 23, 2014 -- Office Practicum, a leading provider of electronic health records software (EHR) for the specialty of pediatric medicine, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the assets of Workflow.com, including their web-based multi-specialty EHR and Practice Management software.

Office Practicum has a long tradition of providing innovative solutions to pediatricians and is excited to extend that experience to additional doctors with the Workflow.com platform. The combined company will have over 175 employees serving more than 3,000 providers and 750 practices in a wide range of specialties.

“This acquisition enhances our ability to scale our rapidly growing OP Cloud offering with a pure web experience. Its broader base will enhance our company for future growth as the EHR market matures,” stated Gregory Anderson, CEO of Office Practicum. “At the same time, we remain committed to our pediatric customers. As a result of this transaction, Office Practicum will extend our experience to the colleagues with whom our pediatric clients coordinate care.”

“The complementary strengths of Office Practicum and Workflow.com will continue to deliver the best products to medical professionals over a wide range of specialties,” stated Packy Hyland, former CEO of Workflow.com. “Office Practicum’s experience in focusing on the pediatric market will carry over to the additional specialties that Workflow.com supports.”

As Office Practicum moves from the first generation of EHRs to web-based technology, this strategic move allows Office Practicum to work toward what physicians really want from their systems, such as care episodes and care management. “It's exciting to have the opportunity to influence HIT development focused on improved usability and optimal patient care,” stated Susan Kressly, MD, FAAP, Medical Director of Office Practicum. “Office Practicum has the talent, resources, solutions, and passion to thrive today and in the years ahead.”
