Haarlem, January 4, 2023 – With the acquisition of EPD suppliers Ensemble, Evry en Footfit software Health Cloud Initiative further expands its portfolio. This acquisition of the products Evry and PodoFile follows five previous acquisitions within mental health care and paramedicine. With these acquisitions, the first steps are now being taken within the market for Dietetics and Foot Care.
Balt Delhaas, CEO Ensemble/Evry"We never thought about transferring the company, but due to the enthusiastic discussions with HCI and the increasing administrative burden, it was now time to say goodbye. We can transfer the company and our software to Health Cloud Initiative with confidence. It is a solid party, which also has very good contacts in the entire field of the paramedical market.”
Eric de Boer, initiator of Health Cloud Initiative: “Thanks to the addition of Evry, market leader in software for dieticians and weight consultants, we can continue to work on our dream of improving healthcare in the Netherlands. In addition to reducing the administrative burden, we are also convinced that bringing together different disciplines contributes to healthcare prevention. By adding dieticians and weight consultants, we can, for example, shape the prevention of the Combined Lifestyle Intervention (GLI) even better with the existing physiotherapists and psychologists.”
Evry, located in Alphen aan den Rijn, was co-founded in 1996 by Balt Delhaas and Harry Kerssies. Evry has been developed from the user's perspective, whereby the EPD links client files to appointments and declarations. The EPD can be fully customized to personal preferences: the user determines how the client file looks. Thanks to the fast and expert service, questions are processed quickly and the care provider has more time to provide care.
After the acquisition, more than 18.000 healthcare providers work with Health Cloud Initiative products every day. The current volume ensures that increasingly greater steps can be taken in reducing the administrative burden. The ambition remains undiminished, although integration and enabling collaboration between disciplines and different products are important aspects.
With the introduction of the Dietetics and Foot Care market, HCI now has a large number of disciplines under its wings: physiotherapy, exercise therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists. In addition, HCI is the market leader in independent mental health practices and an EPD supplier to mental health institutions.
Health Cloud Initiative is well on its way to achieving its short-term milestone of relieving the burden on 20.000 healthcare providers by minimizing administrative tasks.
The acquisitions of Evry and PodoFile follow the previous acquisitions of Incura, CRS GGZ software, FysioRoadmap and the customer portfolios of two software companies.
