Lexmark Acquires Acuo Technologies

"Perceptive Software's rich process and content solution combined with Acuo Technologies' Universal Clinical Platform will provide users a single, enterprise-wide view of all patient medical information from within the EMR system," said Scott Coons, Perceptive Software president and chief executive officer and Lexmark vice president. "Physicians will have immediate access to all patient information—from prescriptions to x-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and more—from directly within the EMR, regardless of the department in which it was conducted or the technology used to create and store it.

"This data is then presented in the context of the patient, so when the physician pulls up a patient record in the EMR, all clinical content living outside that record is presented," added Coons. "This immediate, broad view of the patient drives both efficiencies and better patient care. Presenting this powerful content-based medical record in one solution will be unique to the market."

"Combining Acuo Technologies' clinical content solutions with Perceptive Software's content and process expertise allows us to offer healthcare customers more compelling end-to-end solutions that integrate and manage both medical image and document-centric patient information, all integrated with the EMR," said Jeff Timbrook, Acuo Technologies chief executive officer. "We look forward to presenting this broad offering to existing Acuo Technologies, Perceptive Software and Lexmark healthcare customers."
