Brecksville, Ohio (May 2, 2016) – MedData, Inc., a MEDNAX (NYSE: MD) company and a leading national provider of technology-enabled healthcare solutions, today announced the acquisition of Duet Health, a leading developer of patient engagement software and mHealth solutions.

Founded in 2009, Duet provides multi-platform software products that empower hospitals, health systems, and providers to better communicate and engage with their patient populations. The robust Patient Intelligence Center provides real-time monitoring of every click, transaction, and entry to create more meaningful patient interactions and improve operational effectiveness.

White-labeled and customized for each client, Duet software enables physician and administrative staff to:

• Send secure text, image, and video messages
• Hold secure image libraries
• Retrieve on-call schedules and directories
• Access a variety of additional features to enhance productivity

Ultimately, this translates to better utilization of physicians’ time – facilitating physician-to-physician communication without disrupting organizational workflow. The device-agnostic software is available in web, mobile, and kiosk options – meaning clients have access to it anytime, anywhere.

“This is a game changer for our clients,” said Ann Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of MedData. “This acquisition immediately gives hospitals and providers access to some of the best tools available and a technology platform that will extend their reach and transform their approach to patient engagement. Coupled with our suite of patient-focused services, including eligibility and enrollment, third party liability, and patient reimbursement, clients have a more complete solution to deal with the growing issue of patient responsibility.”

“Joining MedData provides us the unique opportunity to be introduced to a wider audience and become even more integrated into the healthcare provider workflow,” said Jeff Harper, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Duet. “Delivering impactful solutions that improve outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and ultimately boost productivity and ROI will continue to be our focus – but MedData gives us the ability to better scale development and deliver solutions faster to our clients.”
