Misys Healthcare Systems History
Founded during 1982 and headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Medic Computer Systems brings practice management software, electronic medical records solutions, E-Commerce services, an Internet portfolio of services, and business transaction capabilities to Misys Healthcare Systems.
HCIS was formed during 1982 and has become the industry leader in information management solutions for home care organizations.
The company accommodates all home health, hospice and private duty organizations: small companies to large enterprises; nonprofit and proprietary; freestanding, provider-based and governmental; independent and chain.
Misys plc founded in 1979 and originally funded with private capital, Misys began as a computer systems supplier for UK insurance brokers.
The company rapidly grew organically and began trading on the UK Unlisted Securities Market in March 1987, with a subsequent listing on the main London Stock Exchange in 1989.
In 1988, Misys set out to broaden its range of activities and strengthen its market position through a series of acquisitions.
The company acquired several companies whose presence grew Misys' international focus in the banking and insurance sectors prior to the convergence of US-based, industry-leading healthcare IT companies.
This convergence formed the basis for Misys Healthcare Systems and solidified the company's presence in the US.
