LENEXA, Kan. — Mediware Information Systems announced Thursday that it will acquire the assets of CareCentric's home medical equipment, home health and home infusion businesses.
The deal, which is expected to close within 30 days, will add more than 300 new customers and related products, services and contracts to Mediware's Alternate Care Solutions business line.
"With the additional customers, Mediware software will now support more than 700 sites delivering home infusion, home medical equipment, specialty pharmacy and home care services for patients with chronic illnesses throughout the United States," said Thomas Mann, Mediware's president and CEO, in a release.
Mediware formed ACS in March 2010 following its December 2009 acquisition of Healthcare Automation and Advantage Reimbursement, and the November 2008 acquisition of Hann's On Software.
ACS currently includes HomecareNet, a business solution used to maximize efficiency and safety for alternate site care providers including home infusion, home health and HME; HomecareNet Mobile, a patient support tool that leverages mobile technologies; and Ascent Pharmacy, utilized by specialty pharmacies, home infusion providers and small acute care hospitals to ensure safe medication management.
The acquisition will add CareCentric's latest product, Caretinuum, as well as the company's legacy products, MestaMed and PharMed, to Mediware's support portfolio.
