ZirMed Buys Intelligent Healthcare

Health information and management solutions firm ZirMed has acquired California-based Intelligent Healthcare, which offers a proprietary population health management analytics platform. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Intelligent Healthcare aggregates and analyzes data from a number of healthcare information systems, helping clients to create physician scorecards on quality measures, draw up patient engagement programs, and identify care co-ordination opportunities. ZirMed will integrate these services into its own technologies.

Paul Katz (pictured), CEO and founder of Intelligent Healthcare, comments: 'ZirMed was a very natural fit for our organization, as it has an extremely modern platform that excels at collecting and normalizing very high-quality data, which is essential for effective analytics and population health management. Together, we are well positioned to help providers succeed in this era of value-based care.'
