Optima Healthcare Solutions has bought Hospicesoft, which offers cloud-based software for hospice providers. It includes a complete EMR and billing system.

“The talented team at Hospicesoft has built a modern, easy-to-use application that is beautifully tailored for the needs of hospices,” said Josh Pickus, Optima’s CEO. “We plan to maintain and expand the hospice-specific capabilities of the application, while also integrating it with our home health product and making a complete solution available to agencies that operate in both the hospice and home health arenas.”

Optima noted that the Hospicesoft system eliminates the need for hospice providers to deal with OASIS questions, increases productivity and guides workflow. Hospicesoft is based in Utah — founder Rex Hale said that Optima will maintain its headquarters and staff.

Optima is a portfolio company of Alpine Investors.
