STM publisher Elsevier has announced the acquisition of Amirsys. Focused on visually oriented medical disciplines like radiology, pathology and anatomy, Amirsys' global solutions give healthcare providers the expert information and clinical decision support (CDS) tools to make informed, expert and evidence-based diagnoses. Amirsys also provides learning environments that help those training in these disciplines to sharpen their diagnostic skills and increase their knowledge.
This acquisition will bolster Elsevier's comprehensive set of point-of-decision solutions, providing customers around the world with a greater ability to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. Amirsys also created sophisticated technology tools to develop and maintain current imaging content, and Elsevier expects to be able to adapt those tools to serve other visually rich specialties. Amirsys products include STATdx, RADPrimer, ImmunoQuery, AnatomyOne and Amirsys Imaging, Pathology, and Anatomy Reference Centers.
Amirsys will be integrated with the Elsevier Clinical Solutions suite, which includes clinical workflow and decision support, clinical reference and patient engagement, including ClinicalKey, CPM CarePoints, ExitCare, and InOrder by Elsevier.
Amirsys will continue its tradition of publishing new radiology and pathology reference texts with Elsevier. Amirsys' new editions and titles, publishing group and world-renowned author teams will complement Elsevier's own portfolio of high quality radiology and pathology titles.
