ACS will buy CredenceHealth
Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), a Xerox company, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Nashville, Tenn.-based CredenceHealth, a software developer whose products capture and analyze patient data.
By integrating CredenceHealth’s clinical surveillance tools with ACS’ suite of managed care tools under the Midas software brand, Dallas-based ACS will offer a cloud-based tool that monitors patient data, the company stated.
The new tool, named Midas+ Live, works with a hospital’s EMR system and alerts caregivers when changes in a patient’s condition happen simultaneously–such as an increase in temperature or low blood pressure, combined with various lab and radiology results. This information can then be used to inform the caregiver prior to a decline in the patient’s condition, ACS stated.
Justin Lanning, CEO, CredenceHealth, will serve as vice president of business development, ACS Midas+.
