Vaco Healthcare, the healthcare IT division of staffing provider Vaco, acquired two firms: Seattle-based Pivot Point Consulting and Greythorn, based in Bellevue, Wash. The firms provide electronic health record implementation, training, optimization, legacy and go-live support, project management and strategic advisory services.
The acquisitions closed Dec. 1; terms were not disclosed.
Vaco also announced its new healthcare IT services firm — Pivot Point Consulting, a Vaco Company — will launch on Jan. 2. The new firm counts more than 50 employees and 250 consultants nationwide. It has offices in Nashville, Seattle, Chicago and Denver.
“Expanding our team to include Pivot Point and Greythorn enhances Vaco’s extensive healthcare network and nationwide scale with award-winning expertise and accreditation,” said Vaco Healthcare Managing Partner Matt Simpson. “We are excited to offer our clients even more in the way of consulting, contract and direct-hire solutions.”
Pivot Point Consulting is a healthcare IT consulting firm providing implementation, staff augmentation and advisory services for healthcare provider organizations. The firm has employees in 30 states and has provided services to more than 40 healthcare organizations, including large multi-hospital networks, academic institutions, pediatric hospitals and local community clinics.
Greythorn places talent in healthcare IT on a project and permanent basis. Like Pivot Point, it targets Epic electronic health record software expertise. Through its LIVESite delivery system, Greythorn provides Epic training experts, training leadership support, strategy and planning, project management, and staff engagement and retention solutions. The company also offers an open source/big data direct-hire staffing team.
“This new venture broadens our global reach and complements our extensive menu of services,” said Rachel Marano, managing partner and co-founder of Pivot Point Consulting. “Combining the talents of these three businesses strengthens the options for our current and prospective clients.”
