MediNotes to Acquire Bond Technologies

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MediNotes, a leader in electronic health records (EHRs) with more than 20,000 users nationwide, announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Bond Technologies. Bond’s integrated award-winning .NET-based EHR and practice management (PM) solutions include e-prescribing, patient portals, patient kiosk, image management and more. MediNotes’ strategic addition of complementary healthcare technology solutions includes a full range of integrated, single-vendor and best-of-breed EMR and PM solutions to enhance patient care and workflow, as well as the patient experience. The announcement was made at the HIMSS 08 (Booth # 4363) Annual Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Fla.

“Physicians want the best technology now, but need assurance that the solution they choose today can evolve to meet their needs”

“Physicians want the best technology now, but need assurance that the solution they choose today can evolve to meet their needs,” said MediNotes CEO and President Donald Schoen. “When this acquisition is complete, MediNotes’ will have the ability to provide a full range of scalable solutions ranging from a best-of-breed interoperable EMR offering to a fully integrated, single-database, .NET-based EHR and PM solution with image management, e-prescribing, patient portals, patient kiosks and many other popular features. Instead of the cookie-cutter approach some vendors employ, we help practices leverage their IT investment by allowing them to develop the ideal configuration to address their current needs with a cost-effective migration path to fully support change and growth.”

Augmenting its specialized product lines with Bond Technologies’ award-winning practice management software and small to large-practice EHR solutions, Bond Clinician™, MediNotes will create a one-stop-shop to meet the needs of all types and sizes of physician practices. The company will continue to provide MediNotes e, its popular stand-alone EHR.

According to Travis Bond, President of Bond Technologies, who will serve as MediNotes Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, “Bond Technologies’ passion has been to create the best technology for the healthcare industry. This acquisition will leverage MediNotes’ national presence and U.S.-based customer service expertise to serve physicians across the nation. I look forward to the challenges of taking on new markets and meeting the opportunities of improving healthcare IT.”
