SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, July 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- South Jordan, Utah-based AdvancedMD, the creator of Rhythm, an end-to-end cloud platform that automates all aspects of clinical and business workflow for independent physician practices and medical billing services, today announced that it has acquired Marietta, Georgia-based Nuesoft Technologies (“NueMD”). The transaction adds to AdvancedMD’s leading market position and extends the feature and functionality both companies will be able to provide practices across the broader ambulatory market.
With over half of independent medical practices still on legacy on-premise software, AdvancedMD continues to benefit from discrete, disconnected workflow moving to a unified end-to-end platform that combines next generation electronic health records and practice management with automated patient engagement applications. By adding NueMD to the AdvancedMD platform, NueMD clients now gain access to a much broader, feature-rich platform with unified clinical and patient engagement solutions. In addition, AdvancedMD clients will benefit from NueMD’s clearinghouse capabilities which further expand upon its unified platform and continue to enhance the value proposition and client experience. With the NueMD acquisition closed, AdvancedMD continues to evaluate further M&A to accelerate its organic growth strategy.
“The acquisition of NueMD is the logical next step for expanding our cloud network of practitioners and physicians who have learned to use end-to-end workflow automation to improve their bottom line and the health of their patients,” said Raul Villar, chief executive officer of AdvancedMD. “NueMD has been a formidable competitor for many years and now we are combining our capabilities to deliver better products and services for all of our clients. We are also extremely excited about adding experienced HCIT experts to the AdvancedMD team and extending our geographic footprint in the Atlanta metro area.”
“We have been on a path similar to AdvancedMD since the beginning,” said Massoud Alibakhsh, CEO and founder of NueMD. “Together, we have tremendous capabilities to disrupt traditional solutions offered to independent physicians, solve the most difficult challenges our practices face and provide them with even better service. AdvancedMD is the category leader and we are excited to be joining forces to become the premier company serving the ambulatory sector with a unified cloud platform built for physicians.”
As a result of the transaction, AdvancedMD’s North American footprint will increase by 27%, expanding the total number of medical practice clients and practitioners to 11,000 and 33,000, respectively. AdvancedMD will retain NueMD offices in Marietta, Georgia.
AdvancedMD is owned by Marlin Equity Partners, a global investment firm with over $6.7 billion of capital under management.
