Healthcare management consulting firm Beacon Partners today announced that they have acquired Healthcare Innovative Solutions, a Seville, Ohio-based consulting firm which provides customized products and services for clinical system implementations and workflow transformation to hospitals. Healthcare Innovative Solutions has deep Siemens experience, which will also expand Beacon Partners' current vendor expertise.
"Healthcare Innovative Solutions is a terrific complement to our service offering and will broaden our overall scope by providing clients an increased CPOE/EHR capability," said Ralph P. Fargnoli, Jr., president and CEO of Beacon Partners. "Healthcare organizations are turning to us now more than ever to assist them with Meaningful Use requirements and overall IT adoption, and consequently, CPOE and EHR implementation are both crucial to their success. In addition, the timing was right to add Siemens implementation and optimization expertise and to expand our overall clinical advancement capabilities."
"Healthcare Innovative Solutions has provided clinical transformation expertise and CPOE/EHR consulting services successfully for over 10 years," said Daniela Mahoney, RN, president and CEO of Healthcare Innovative Solutions. "In evaluating the alignment with another consulting firm, it was critical to carefully weigh synergy in business models and cultural fit. Healthcare Innovative Solutions and Beacon Partners have a shared commitment to excellence in quality and closely paralleled core values."
"Our relationship with Beacon Partners positions each of us for continued growth," explained Lorn Mahoney, MS ChE, COO of Healthcare Innovative Solutions. "This will take Healthcare Innovative Solutions to a new level by allowing excellent growth opportunities for our internal staff, additional efficiencies and economies of scale."
This acquisition will increase both Beacon Partners' revenue and employee base by 15%. As both companies are privately held, specific terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
"The acquisition of Healthcare Innovative Solutions is part of Beacon Partners' growth strategy over the next few years," continued Fargnoli. "We will continue to evaluate how we can enhance our service offering to our clients and the industry by taking advantage of opportunities that present themselves as a result of ARRA and healthcare reform."
