Heidelberg Engineering GmbH has acquired 100 per cent ownership of Medisoft Limited, a UK-based provider of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software solutions for the ophthalmology market.
David Johnston, co-founder and Chairman of Medisoft said the combined offering would enable ophthalmology departments and private practices access to both patient records and their associated images.D
“We expect to significantly strengthen our ophthalmic healthcare IT business with this strategic acquisition,” said Kfir Azoulay, Head of Strategy at Heidelberg Engineering.
“Incorporating Medisoft’s advanced ophthalmic EMR product to our portfolio will enable the release of comprehensive software solutions that bring disparate data together and significantly improve patient care as well as operational efficiencies for our customers.”
While ophthalmic IT solutions will play an increasingly growing role in Heidelberg Engineering’s portfolio,
the company will continue focusing on its core business of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging platforms for
eye-care professionals.
