Union of Harris� Proven Clinical Integration and Care Coordination Technology with NantHealth�s Advanced Cloud Solutions Creates a Healthcare Informatics Powerhouse.
CULVER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NantHealth, a subsidiary of NantWorks, LLC, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Harris Corporation�s (NYSE:HRS) commercial Healthcare Solutions business, a clinical systems integration innovator. Harris retained its government healthcare services business.
NantHealth�s existing cOS, eviti and omics platforms, combined with Harris� FusionFX� suite of products, delivers on the promise of whole health systems integration and revolutionizes the patient-clinician experience by bringing molecular medicine insights directly to the point-of-care. The acquisition follows closely on the heels of NantHealth�s strategic alliance with Allscripts and their dbMotion semantics engine. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
�The acquisition of Harris Healthcare Solutions, our largest transaction to date, brings unique and proven technology with a large global footprint that significantly furthers our stated goal to improve patient outcomes by efficiently providing physicians with integrated, clinically relevant patient-centric information in real-time,� said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Executive Chairman and Founder of NantHealth. �At the same time, we have added an extensive client base of leading clinical and health IT innovators across North America and Europe, as well as a talented and experienced leadership team. The transaction represents a strategic step toward realizing our vision of providing personalized, precision medicine across the continuum of care.�

Its scalable platform eliminates redundancies and administrative legwork and improves quality of care by streamlining access to the right information at the right time.
�Harris Healthcare Solutions has proven solutions over a large customer base with a global presence. The business has already demonstrated how to successfully tackle the industry's number one IT challenge: the seamless integration of disparate systems to present an accurate and complete view of patient data. Together, the combined entity can accelerate our shared vision of revolutionizing the patient-clinician experience by bringing new medical insights to the point of care,� said Bob Watson, President of NantHealth.

- That's funny, but it's more like having any words besides the link has been acceptable. Sort of like Marshawn Lynch saying, "I'm just here so I don't get fined". Strangely, I'm ok with that whereas putting only the url annoys me to no end.07-17-15 02:09 AMLike 0
- This is pretty huge for my industry. HIEs are becoming more common place to interconnect all sorts of systems: EHRs, EMRs, HIS, RIS, etc. There are so many systems in hospital networks that it's almost impossible to view the full patient history. The theory is that HIEs, such as Harris, will allow such a thing.
Harris is huge in this space. NantHealth's purchase may well be a fantastic move.
