SCI Solutions (SCI), the industry’s most widely adopted EHR-agnostic online care coordination marketplace, announced it has acquired Tonic Health, a broadly deployed SaaS-based digital self-service technology platform widely used by patients to complete intake forms, check-in for appointments, self-report outcome measures and make payments. The combination of SCI’s market-leading digital engagement platform, including patient scheduling, referral management, revenue cycle workflow automation, and patient self-care management, with Tonic’s flexible automated platform, will give clients a full array of functionality to meaningfully engage patients at every step in their healthcare journey. Tonic’s client base, including Universal Health Services, New York-Presbyterian, Emory Healthcare, MedStar Health, Shriner’s Hospitals for Children, The Department of Veterans Affairs, and many more, will join SCI’s network of more than 94,000 referring providers and 1,200 rendering provider hospitals and imaging centers.
