Bain-backed health tech firm merges with peer

A local health tech company backed by private equity giant Bain Capital has merged with a competitor on the heels of the launch of a new membership-based SaaS platform.

The combined power of HST Pathways and New York-based Simple Admit will offer practice management software for health care providers with capabilities in scheduling, care coordination, revenue cycle optimization, supply chain management, EHR connectivity and patient data and communications. Simple Admit will bring to the company a specialization in providing automated patient relationship management solutions for ambulatory surgery centers, which the company intends to target with their latest software offering.
