MediSoft is the Most Purchased Product Ever?
Medisoft, a Physician Management product which is both cheap and easy to use, was purchased by McKesson (publicly traded as MCK) earlier this month. The purchase was a $1.8 billion deal, and would be mostly insignificant news if this was the first time Medisoft had been bought or sold.However, prior to McKesson owning Medisoft, it was owned by PerSe (publicly traded as PSTI). In fact, PerSe has not owned Medisoft for a full year yet (they acquired them on Jan 6, 2006), and also produces a competitive product (Lytec).
Prior to the PerSe acquisition, Medisoft was owned by NDCHealth. NDCHealth acquired Medisoft in 2000, from yet another company. [Note: McKesson is actually acquiring the entire PerSe company, including both Medisoft and Lytec.]
Apparently their acquisitions are occuring so fast, that the employees claim they're not done being absorbed from the last acquisition! I'm not sure what the future holds for either product, but I certainly would be somewhat concerned about the product's future.
