The acquisition of a majority interest in Rhapsody and the investment into Population Health Management by Hg was completed on October 31, 2018, achieving a significant milestone for Orion Health and signalling the next chapter for the Company. The partnership with Hg provides a stronger platform for Orion Health to continue to deliver long-term value to customers. "With the completion of the Rhapsody sale and investment in the Population Health Management business by Hg, Orion Health turns its attention to the next chapter of profitably growing the Population Health Management and Hospitals businesses," said Tisdel. "Orion Health is now structured and resourced to become a global technology leader in Population Health, while laying the foundations for precision medicine as we aim to transform the healthcare sector." This year Orion Health has demonstrated its leadership in transitioning healthcare organisations to cloud solutions as an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Technology Partner and by accelerating the adoption of Population Health Management tools and health data at scale. The Company migrated significant customers in the United States to AWS, enabling the processing of millions of patient-related messages per day and using the scalability of AWS to rapidly push out continuous new software releases to a major Payor organisation.
