Philips Healthcare of Andover, MA, has signed a deal to buy Tomcat Systems, a developer of cardiovascular information systems software based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Tomcat's software enables users to collect and aggregate data relative to the cardiac care of patients by connecting with different clinical information systems, such as cath lab workflow management systems and PACS networks. The firm's software also provides scheduling, staff and resource management, cost capturing, and the generation of reports and statistical information.
Philips said Tomcat's software is a good match for the company's current cardiology information system (CIS), and the vendor is working to introduce an integrated CIS in North America and other markets. Tomcat has about 25 employees.
