JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity National Financial, Inc. today announced that FNFV Group (NYSE: FNFV) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire T-System Holdings ("T-System") for $200 million in cash. T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities.

T-System organizes its business into two segments. The Clinical Documentation segment offers software solutions providing clinical staff full workflow operations that drive documentation completeness and revenue optimization to more than 435 customers. Additionally, the patented T-Sheet is the industry standard for emergency department documentation, with more than 800 customers. The Coding Software & Outsourced Solutions segment provides a full-service outsourced coding solution as well as a cloud-based SaaS solution for self-service coding. These offerings help more than 75 customers at over 300 sites optimize their revenue cycle workflow and customer revenue reimbursement through improved coding accuracy and compliance and coder productivity compared to in-house coding.

"T-System is a great company with an experienced management team that operates in a very large and fragmented medical documentation and coding market, with a business model that is shifting to a majority of recurring revenue streams," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "We believe that the documentation business is at an inflection point with a significant near-term organic growth opportunity. We are also confident that we can assist T-System in making multiple acquisitions that can accelerate future growth and further expand the product and services that the company offers to its customers. We expect T-System to be a great acquisition that will generate significant future value for our shareholders."
