ACS acquires The Breakaway Group
ACS, a Xerox company, has acquired The Breakaway Group, developer of PromisePoint, a cloud-based service to help healthcare professionals accelerate their EMR adoption.
PromisePoint allows caregivers to practice using an EMR just as they would in the hospital or doctor’s office. By simulating their environment, physicians can get familiar using the system without jeopardizing real patient data, according to the Denver-based Breakaway Group.
Breakaway’s management team and employees will remain with the company, with Charles Fred, CEO of Breakaway, serving as managing director.
Financial details were not disclosed.
