07 Feb Diverse Group of Companies to Showcase Greater Madison’s Health Innovation Leadership at HIMSS

MADISON, WI – A diverse, exciting group of Greater Madison healthtech companies will showcase their innovation at the 2019 HIMSS Global Conference & Exhibition taking place Feb. 11-15 in Orlando. The annual conference brings together more than 45,000 health information and technology professionals from around the world.

Greater Madison is a leader in health innovation thanks to a robust healthcare ecosystem featuring world-class research, the market leader in electronic health records and a strong network of payers, practitioners, manufacturers and entrepreneurs. The region is home to a national research-spending leader in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as insurers, biotech and software companies, device manufacturers and many others. These strengths are among the reasons Madison was recently recognized by CBRE as a national leader in tech job momentum and by CompTIA as one of America’s “Top 20 Tech Towns.”

“HIMSS is the ideal platform for Greater Madison’s strength as a global leader in health innovation,” said Chamber President Zach Brandon. “The growing presence and diversity of Greater Madison companies at the industry’s largest educational program and exhibition center serve as yet more evidence of our region’s momentum.”

Some notable recent achievements from Greater Madison companies attending HIMSS include:

• Bluetree Network’s new office includes space for their new Managed Services – Service Center program, an “Epic Smart” Help Desk that features agents trained on Epic and Bluetree’s specific customer workflows. Bluetree’s new website also features recently developed strategic programs, including their Managed Services – Epic Support program, three strategic revenue cycle programs and an “Expand Your Healthcare Presence” program that helps customers with Epic extension projects.
• Datica launched two new products – its Cloud Compliance Management System (CCMS) and Compliant Kubernetes Service (CKS) – in 2018.
• In 2018, healthfinch’s Charlie Practice Automation Platform supported more than 5,000 providers, served 1.7 million patients and processed more than eight million refill requests. This resulted in more than seven million provider minutes saved and more than 1.5 million care gaps identified.
• HealthX Ventures has invested in 12 digital health startups, and their portfolio companies averaged 393 percent year-over-year revenue growth in 2018.
• ImageMoverMD now offers its Uploader solution to health systems for free as a first step toward making CDs a thing of the past, while allowing providers to try out some of their other solutions and see the other ways medical imaging can improve.
• Moxe has gone live with Convergence, the first end-to-end, fully integrated solution for HCC capture and for embedding insights into the EMR. Convergence is improving collaboration in healthcare while saving millions of dollars for connected health plans and health systems.
• Nordic recently acquired Healthtech Consultants and entered the Canadian market, pushing their total employee count north of 1,000.
