Acquisition to provide new enterprise analytics
capabilities for QSI’s Subsidiary, Mirth
Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII), announced today it has
acquired Gennius, a leading provider of healthcare data analytics.
The acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s current
enterprise analytics competencies while broadening its business
intelligence capabilities for addressing new value-based care
requirements.
Founded in 2002, Cambridge, Mass.-based Gennius is a healthcare
analytics company with capabilities to harmonize data to prepare
and compute utilization and quality analyses of integrated patient,
administrative, and financial data across medical settings and time
periods. Its solutions generate comprehensive performance
information needed to successfully support provider organizations
under new coordinated delivery and reimbursement models.
Gennius’ data analytics engine embeds industry specifications as
well as payer contract requirements into functionality that
provides prioritized actionable insight into patient care,
population health and ACO community performance. This includes
computing and submitting measurement results for reporting
programs, such as Meaningful Use (MU), Accountable Care
Organizations (ACO), Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) and
Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS).
“Gennius is pleased to join forces with QSI and its
subsidiaries, Mirth and NextGen Healthcare,” said Bernadette
Downey, former chief executive officer for Gennius, Inc. “By
combining our engineering expertise and methodologies with Mirth’s
premier open source connectivity tools and powerful visualization
console, we are able to provide customers with access to an
unparalleled enterprise system. The system affords users an
in-depth data-driven approach to care and helps healthcare
community teams align their efforts, succeed in meeting their
financial goals and deliver on their population health
initiatives.”
“Utilization and quality of care remain consistent focuses of
value-driven organizations. To remain viable, value-driven
organizations like ACOs must find ways to leverage agile solutions
that can scale and adapt to industry demands, dictated by evolving
value-based and coordinated care initiatives,” said Steve
Plochocki, president and chief executive officer for QSI. “By
integrating Gennius’ extensive data analytics and reporting
capabilities with NextGen Healthcare and Mirth solutions, we are
bringing to market the analytics-based enterprise system needed to
provide actionable data intelligence to all agents involved in the
community of care delivery. This further strengthens the position
of the company and that of our clients for continued success and
growth amid the new pay for performance arena.”
