A4 HEALTH SYSTEMS originated in 1970. The company provided healthcare information solutions for a substantial installed base of small-enterprise care providers (IDNs, community hospitals, physician groups, independent physician associations, etc). A4 acquired HEALTHMATICS™ solution from Glaxo Wellcome in 1999.

In 2000, A4 merged with Nine Rivers Technology of North Carolina and Network Medical of Michigan. This activity reflects investor confidence, and has enabled A4 to bring together the products and technologies that comprise the HEALTHMATICS ENTERPRISE portfolio.
