MedData to Acquire Leading Patient Engagement Software Developer
MedData, Inc., a MEDNAX (NYSE:MD) company and a leading national provider of technology-enabled healthcare solutions, today
announced the acquisition of Duet Health, a leading developer of patient engagement software and mHealth solutions.
Founded in 2009, Duet provides multi-platform software products that empower hospitals, health systems, and providers to better
communicate and engage with their patient populations. The robust Patient Intelligence Center provides real-time monitoring of
every click, transaction, and entry to create more meaningful patient interactions and improve operational effectiveness.
White-labeled and customized for each client, Duet software enables physician and administrative staff to:
- Send secure text, image, and video messages
- Hold secure image libraries
- Retrieve on-call schedules and directories
- Access a variety of additional features to enhance productivity
Ultimately, this translates to better utilization of physicians’ time – facilitating physician-to-physician communication
without disrupting organizational workflow. The device-agnostic software is available in web, mobile, and kiosk options – meaning
clients have access to it anytime, anywhere.
“This is a game changer for our clients,” said Ann Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of MedData. “This acquisition immediately
gives hospitals and providers access to some of the best tools available and a technology platform that will extend their reach and
transform their approach to patient engagement. Coupled with our suite of patient-focused services, including eligibility and
enrollment, third party liability, and patient reimbursement, clients have a more complete solution to deal with the growing issue
of patient responsibility.”
“Joining MedData provides us the unique opportunity to be introduced to a wider audience and become even more integrated into
the healthcare provider workflow,” said Jeff Harper, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Duet. “Delivering impactful
solutions that improve outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and ultimately boost productivity and ROI will continue to be our
focus – but MedData gives us the ability to better scale development and deliver solutions faster to our clients.”
