Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has acquired Nautilus Consulting, a leading digital healthcare consultancy in the U.K. that specializes in Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solutions. The acquisition will enhance Accenture’s digital transformation, implementation, and optimization capabilities across the U.K. and global healthcare space.
Nautilus joins Accenture’s Health Strategy & Consulting team in the U.K., bringing expertise in strategic and operational consulting services and assisting clients in implementing and optimising their digital solutions. Headquartered in London, the team is made up of experienced staff with technical, managerial and commercial backgrounds from the NHS and private sector. These skills help to bridge the gap between clinical users and IT solution suppliers, improving the patient experience and health outcomes while driving cost and operational efficiencies.
Ashish Goel, a senior managing director who leads Accenture’s Health industry practice in EMEA, said, “With a proven track record in delivering EPR transformation projects, Nautilus has the right talent, digital capabilities, and strategic insights to further harness the data and technology needed to improve the access, experience and outcome of healthcare services. Together, our combined expertise will enable healthcare providers to accelerate their digital transformation, drive better outcomes for all – and help us on our journey to becoming a leading healthcare transformation partner of choice.”
Simon Evans, managing director at Nautilus, said, “For over a decade, Nautilus has been dedicated to supporting healthcare providers to achieve maximum value from their digital investments. With increasing costs, resourcing challenges and greater demand than ever, now is the right time for us to unleash our potential with Accenture and make an even bigger difference to the healthcare ecosystem.”
Nautilus has vast experience in procurement and implementation of Oracle Health’s Millennium platform (formerly Cerner), a leading provider of digital record systems in the healthcare space. This acquisition allows Accenture to build on its strategic relationship with Oracle Health, further enhancing its ability to deliver a unique end-to-end digital transformation experience at scale.
