A Hutchinson Company that specializes in medical records data systems has more that doubled in size with the purchase of a California company. Integrated Solutions Group, Inc. (ISG), parent company of Professional Data Services, Inc., (PDS) has acquired Data Strategies, Inc. (DSI) out of Poway, Calif. The acquisition will significantly grow the company’s foothold in the electronic health records (EHR)
industry and position it as a national player within the ambulatory medical practice community.

The purchase of DSI results in a doubling of staff and customers. The number of physicians
served has grown to 6,000, increasing ISG’s presence in the ambulatory medical practice
community by 100 percent. ISG products can be found in 44 states, up from the 30 it
previously served.

The company currently has about 70 employees, but expects to add more in the future.
