Medsphere

Medsphere Systems Corporation, founded in 2002, operates as a comprehensive healthcare technology platform aiming to make quality IT solutions accessible to healthcare organizations of all sizes. Initially centered on leveraging the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' VistA electronic health record (EHR) system, the company has strategically expanded its offerings through a series of acquisitions, evolving into a multi-faceted health-tech provider.

The company's growth strategy is heavily centered on mergers and acquisitions to create an integrated, end-to-end platform. Key acquisitions have included Phoenix Health Systems in 2015, a provider of IT outsourcing and consulting services; ChartLogic in 2016, an ambulatory EHR and practice management solutions provider; and Wellsoft in 2019, a top-ranked Emergency Department Information System (EDIS). Further acquisitions like HealthLine Solutions for supply chain management, Marketware for healthcare relationship management, and Systeem Medical for IT support have systematically broadened Medsphere's capabilities across the healthcare continuum.

Medsphere's business model is based on delivering its suite of products through a subscription-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, which removes the need for large upfront capital investment from its clients. This makes its solutions particularly attractive to smaller community hospitals, rural health centers, and behavioral health facilities that may have budget constraints. Revenue is generated from subscriptions to its various cloud platforms and fees for its managed IT, consulting, and revenue cycle management services.

The company’s product portfolio is extensive, addressing diverse clinical and administrative needs. The flagship CareVue platform is a fully integrated EHR for acute care and inpatient behavioral health, available via the cloud on Amazon Web Services. RCM Cloud offers a complete revenue cycle management solution designed to automate billing and streamline collections. The ChartLogic division provides a full ambulatory suite including EHR, practice management, and patient portals. Other key offerings include the Wellsoft EDIS for emergency rooms, HealthLine for inventory management, and the Phoenix Health Systems division for vendor-independent IT services like implementation, project management, and a 24/7 service desk.
