About Us

Beginning with a passion for integrated patient care

One idea shared by two clinicians from Yorkshire in the 1980s kick-started the creation of Egton Medical Information Systems. The idea: that technology can be used to give clinicians access to complete and shared medical records, no matter where patients present for care.

What followed was the development of our first clinical IT system and an ever-growing passion for making information instantly available at the point of care.

Still dedicated to enhancing the patient conversation today

Fast forward to today and although over 30 years of experience have expanded our scope – and while our name has evolved into the catchier EMIS Health – our motivations are much the same.

We’re still clinically led, with experienced clinicians working throughout our organisation and advising us on what we do. And we’re still striving to develop the best possible technology so that healthcare professionals can do their jobs effectively – and can ultimately improve patient health.

Supporting 10,000 organisations across every major healthcare setting

These aims have played a big part in why we’ve grown so much. They’ve driven us to develop dozens of clinical IT solutions, acquire multiple organisations – including Rx Systems, Ascribe, Indigo 4 and Dovetail Lab – that bolster what we do, and hire thousands of driven individuals who ensure we continue to evolve.

Making a real difference to healthcare professionals and patients alike

Getting to the heart of how to best help every one of these organisations is important to us. To do this, we not only hone our existing technology, but also create new solutions and work with over 100 different partner organisations who offer a range of tools that connect with our clinical software. Then, to top it all off, we back everything up with our market-leading training and support.

Delivering award-winning solutions with a focus on the future

We care not just about the way that healthcare is delivered today, but about the way it can be delivered tomorrow too. We also firmly believe that ground-breaking technology can lead to ground-breaking advances in patient health.

Because of this, we’re always looking to the future of what we can do. With more than 40 awards under our belt from over the past 13 years, it’s a dedication to innovation and excellence that’s been recognised across the industry as well.

Supporting longer, healthier lives for patients today and tomorrow

Whether we’re helping those who are on the cusp of transforming the future of healthcare or are supporting clinicians to make informed decisions now, we’re committed to ensuring that everyone has the information that they need to do their jobs effectively.

Together, it means that we can continue on our path of ensuring that patients live longer and healthier lives – both today and tomorrow.
