Indianapolis, IN, and Scottsdale, AZ, October 22, 2024 — hc1, the healthcare information technology leader in improving patient care and reducing costs through real-time lab data insights, today announced it has acquired Accumen, a best-in-class healthcare performance consulting company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The acquisition positions hc1 as the only comprehensive solution for transforming diagnostic labs into strategic assets for health systems. 

Together, hc1 and Accumen will accelerate healthcare progress by harnessing the power of lab data to generate insights that improve patient care, streamline operations, and reduce costs, all while achieving healthy growth to enhance financial performance.

“The merger between hc1 and Accumen jumpstarts progress for the healthcare industry by taking labs off the backburner and turning them into goldmines of data and financial growth for health systems,” said CEO of hc1, Bradley A. Bostic. “All health systems have a lab, and yet they are underused as a tool to improve patient health through data-driven insights. By integrating hc1’s advanced data management technology and AI-powered analytics—the hc1 Lab Insights Platform™—with Accumen’s lab expertise, we are addressing the massive demand from health systems to mine maximum value from lab data. After over a decade of perfecting our approach and technology, we are partnering with healthcare leaders who want to unlock the hidden value of lab data within their health systems. Ultimately, it’s about effectively diagnosing patients and generating healthy financial results. hc1 is expanding faster than ever because we deliver both benefits at scale with a turnkey, secure cloud solution. This is truly the force-multiplier health systems have been looking for.”
