Holland-based Worksighted, an information technology consulting firm with exclusive focus on the commercial market, expects a major expansion as the result of a merger with a firm specializing in IT products for physician practices.
IT for Doctors, also based in Holland, will bring to Worksighted its system for helping physician practices implement and maintain electronic record-keeping, in addition to assistance complying with health-related laws like HIPAA. As the merger is completed, IT for Doctors founder and erstwhile owner Robert Tennant has also developed a new venture called Better EHR – an advanced system for bringing physicians up to speed on the use of electronic health records.
Worksighted and Better EHR will partner on client engagements.
Mat Nguyen, president of Worksighted, said the merger represents the first time Worksighted has focused so keenly on a specific industry sector. It chose to do so, he said, because the reach of IT for Doctors and the widespread need for the service will allow Worksighted to not only expand in Holland but also to move into new geographic markets throughout Michigan and the Midwest.
“We felt this would really open up doors for us for new ventures in the future,” Nguyen said. “So we’re taking over all the network infrastructure and the IT support for (Tennant), allowing him to form this new company called Better EHR. We now have a partnership between WSI and his new company to present full-scale solutions to these doctors’ offices.”
