Xerox (NYSE: XRX) today announced its acquisition of Healthy
Communities Institute (HCI), a Berkeley, Calif.-based company with
a leading cloud platform that puts socioeconomic and community
health information at the fingertips of hospitals, public health
agencies and community coalitions.
“The Affordable Care Act and demand for improved quality of care
are factors driving opportunities for Xerox, and population-based
insights are critical as the healthcare system shifts to a
value-based model,” said Justin Lanning, senior vice president and
managing director, Midas+, A Xerox Company. “With this acquisition,
we are enriching our healthcare business, evolving our offerings
and innovating to address market changes. Our clients will be able
to identify at-risk populations, which will lead to timelier and
more personalized clinical interventions. This can reduce costs and
improve care.”
Midas+ serves over 2,200 healthcare provider facilities and is
the market leader in workflow solutions, quality, regulatory
management and actionable insights that improve patient care.
HCI’s software-as-a-service platform centralizes proprietary,
healthcare and community data to help hospitals and other health
organizations manage population health. By tapping data derived
from clinical visits, healthcare claims, and community-level
assessments, healthcare providers and others can better understand
community demographics, risk factors and disease distribution. HCI
supports more than 250 hospitals, public health organizations and
community health and employer coalitions across 36 states and
covers over 100 million lives across the United States.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes that
this data is the largest determinant of population health and can
be used to improve overall health status and reduce chronic
conditions1.
HCI’s data and insight will be integrated with Midas+’s JuvoTM
Care Performance analytics platform, creating the largest
repository for insight on factors that impact population health. It
will also provide socioeconomic and environmental context for
individual clinical care information. This combination creates a
comprehensive view of patient care and puts evidence-based
actionable recommendations into the hands of providers, with the
aim of producing better healthcare outcomes.
HCI’s current clients include 75 public health departments at
the city, county and state level.
“Health organizations are under pressure to more actively engage
patients and the communities they serve,” said Lanning. “HCI offers
valuable insight on specific populations so health organizations
can tailor community programs to efficiently meet the demands of
today’s healthcare challenges.”
“Community-level insight is a critical component of population
health management,” said Deryk Van Brunt, DrPH, president and CEO,
Healthy Communities Institute. “By joining Xerox, HCI and our
clients will benefit from the global company’s powerful brand and
its advanced analytics across the entire healthcare ecosystem.”
The Healthy Communities Institute management team and its
employees will remain with the company.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
