Allscripts pays $60M for care coordination startup supporting mobile communication for care teams, patients

Allscripts snapped up digital health business HealthGrid for $60 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The business seeks to give patients and their caregivers a window into each step of care coordination that’s designed to be more accessible than a traditional patient portal. It’s also designed to improve communication between members of a patient��s care team across acute care and ambulatory care. HealthGrid CEO Raj Toleti claimed in a press release in February that the company had revenue growth of 70 percent last year. The company also claimed to have more than 15,000 providers across over 350 facilities serving millions of patients.
