Peer Consulting to offer CapSite's health IT vendor database

A partnership announced Oct. 13 will allow Peer Consulting of Mercer Island, Wash., to open the vendor database of CapSite, a healthcare technology research firm based in Burlington, Vt., to Peer's healthcare provider clients.

The CapSite database tracks more than 900 vendors in 140 categories across health IT, imaging equipment, professional services and medical devices. Peer Consulting assists hospitals and rural health centers in health IT adoption and will draw from the CapSite resource to guide providers on product selection, pricing, budgeting and other purchasing-related activities.
