Clanwilliam Group, a Dublin-headquartered healthcare, technology and services company, has acquired Claimsure Sláinte (Ireland) from Sláinte Healthcare.

Claimsure was developed by Sláinte Healthcare to assist hospitals in claiming payments from insurers for treatments performed in hospitals.

The Claimsure software applications are in use throughout over public and private 50 hospitals in Ireland. It allows the capturing of patient signatures and consultant data electronically, and facilitates electronic submissions to the insurers.

Sláinte Healthcare said that the offload will allow it to concentrate its resources on Vitro, an electronic platform facilitating various products, including electronic health records, detainee case management and civil registration.

Vitro is used in over 130 facilities worldwide, including Ireland, Australia, the Middle East, Brazil and Central Africa.

Commenting on the acquisition, Howard Beggs, CEO of the Clanwilliam Group, said: “Clanwilliam is in many ways the perfect home for Claimsure Sláinte Ireland.

“Our priority is finding businesses we can partner with to deliver lasting growth, and Claimsure can now draw on the resources and expertise of the wider group as it expands into the future.

“The founder of Claimsure and Sláinte Healthcare, Andrew Murphy, will remain involved with the Claimsure business.”

Andrew Murphy, CEO of Sláinte Healthcare, added: “Our Claimsure business unit and our Vitro units have very different characteristics we put plans in place to separate out the businesses with a view to running them independently.

“I am extremely proud of what we have achieved in our Claimsure and related services business since starting as a one-person office nine years ago.”
