healthfinch Nabs $6M for Charlie Practice Automation Platform

What You Should Know:

– Health Catalyst announces an agreement to acquire clinical workflow optimization solution healthfinch using a mix of stock and cash.

– As part of the acquisition, healthfinch will be a new application suite category called EMR Embedded Insights and its refills, care gaps closure, and visit planning applications will continue to be available in their original configuration.


 Health Catalyst, Inc., a provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire healthfinch, Inc., a Madison, Wisconsin-based company that provides a workflow integration engine delivering insights and analytics into EMR workflows to automate physicians’ ability to close patient care gaps in real-time. Health Catalyst expects to fund the transaction using a mix of stock and cash.

Clinical Workflow Optimization

Founded in 2011, healthfinch has developed the healthcare industry’s most trusted, most used clinical workflow optimization solution, Charlie. Charlie’s unique combination of EMR-integrated technology and protocol content streamlines key workflows such as prescription renewal processing, visit planning, and care gap closure. With Charlie, health systems are able to deliver a better, safer patient experience, while also achieving lower rates of provider and staff burnout, increased care gap closure, improved quality metrics, and significant time and cost savings for providers and clinical staff.

Integration with Health Catalyst Analytics Application Portfolio

The healthfinch acquisition, which will allow Health Catalyst’s customers to enhance clinical workflows in the EMR, further strengthens the Health Catalyst Population Health portfolio, which was bolstered by the Able Health acquisition in February 2020 and Care Management Suite launch earlier this month.

Within the Health Catalyst analytics application portfolio, healthfinch will be a new application suite category called EMR Embedded Insights and its refills, care gaps closure, and visit planning applications will continue to be available in their original configuration. Additionally, the healthfinch technology will augment workflows across Health Catalyst’s product portfolio, with data and insights powered by Health Catalyst’s cloud-based Data Operating System (DOS™), a healthcare-specific, open, flexible, and scalable data platform that provides customers with a single comprehensive environment to integrate and organize data.

healthfinch’s industry-leading capabilities are already in demand from Health Catalyst customers and prospects across multiple product areas including quality measures, care management, population health, patient safety, and others. Providing these capabilities will bring even greater value to Health Catalyst customers by making the critical insights and analytics from the DOS platform actionable within clinical workflows – providing more effective care for patients and saving time for both doctors and staff through automation so they can work at the top of their license. 

“We are thrilled to benefit from healthfinch’s decades of collective experience gained from working with customers across the United States that are using a variety of different EMRs.  And we also find deeply compelling the strong mission and cultural alignment with our respected healthfinch teammates. We are excited to have the healthfinch leadership team and their talented colleagues join Health Catalyst, and we are grateful for the tremendous insights, knowledge and perspectives they bring, which will accelerate the achievement of our mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement,” said Health Catalyst CEO Dan Burton.

Burton added, “This acquisition highlights Health Catalyst’s ability to integrate and scale software applications on top of our DOS platform. The healthfinch technology will easily serve up actionable insights, derived from DOS and other Health Catalyst analytics applications into the EMR, at the point of care.”
