Boston, MA – August 2, 2022 – Lyniate, a global leader in healthcare data interoperability, and CareCom, a leader in healthcare terminology management solutions including HealthTerm® and CareIndexing®, have entered into a definitive merger agreement. This strategic combination builds on Lyniate’s recently announced merger with NextGate, a longtime leader in patient identity data management, to further extend the company’s unique ability to offer the industry’s most complete suite of interoperability solutions. Adding CareCom solutions for terminology management, including cross-mapping healthcare terminologies into standardized data, will empower healthcare stakeholders to assemble and manage more complete and accurate patient information, enabling better care, reduced clinician burden, and optimized patient experiences.

CareCom solutions uniquely accommodate clinical expression by enabling the cross-mapping of all major healthcare vocabularies, including diagnostic and procedure codes. In addition, the solutions support FHIR terminology management and mapping, value set management, and converting unstructured data, such as notes fields, into discrete, interoperable information. Around the globe, healthcare organizations rely on HealthTerm to support data quality governance and health information exchange.

“Interoperability challenges exist at multiple levels, and we see semantic integration as integral to meaningful data exchange,” said Erkan Akyuz, CEO of Lyniate. “So much critical information is effectively locked away behind different standards of language, and our customers are eager to normalize and aggregate that data to build more complete and accurate records. This merger supports our strategy to continue to offer flexible, best of breed, and connected interoperability capabilities to better meet clinician needs and advance the standards of excellence in this rapidly evolving industry. The team and the technology are a great fit for Lyniate, and we are eager for the future, together.”
“We are excited about this growth opportunity to include our proven semantic interoperability solutions in the industry’s foremost interoperability suite,” said Jacob Boye Hansen, president and founder of CareCom. “Lyniate and CareCom share a vision for person-to-person interoperability that supports freedom of expression and is unconstrained by data location or format. This next phase of growth brings our customers additional resources, including Best-in-KLAS® level service and compliance like ISO 27001.”
