Harris Computer Systems has bought electronic health records company Collain Healthcare.

Collain had acquired intellectual property from LG CNS and an Austin-based interoperability and data think tank focused on Managed Care and Integrated Delivery Networks before the purchase.  

Harris Healthcare Group will let Collain continue as an independent business unit, with Robert “Bobby” Choi as executive vice president. Maryann Choi, M.D., will work as the chief medical officer.

“The acquisition of Collain Healthcare represents a strategic expansion by Harris across the long-term and post-acute care continuum with a leading and innovative platform,” said Jerry Canada Jr., president of Harris Healthcare Group. “We are excited to bring to this sector the Harris track record of unrivaled customer experience with ’software for life,’ partnering with customers to provide meaningful, long-term solutions in healthcare.”

Collain will continue to be based in Austin, TX.
