BOSTON and NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Provident Healthcare Partners ("Provident"), a leading healthcare investment banking firm, announced it acted as the exclusive financial adviser to Medacist Solutions Group in its acquisition by Bluesight, the Medication Intelligence™ Company. The acquisition by Bluesight is the result of a strategic growth investment by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm.

Bluesight's acquisition of Medacist combines a pioneer, lead innovator, and market leader in drug diversion analytics with a medication management solutions platform that together will serve more than 2,000 hospitals across North America. Bluesight's advanced auditing capabilities and visibility across all hospital care areas complements Medacist's streamlined reporting and visibility tools across the health system. Healthcare organizations will have a single source of software solutions that provides insights into medication usage and diversion to allow for the most accurate predictions, targeted interventions and, ultimately, improved patient outcomes.

Provident's deal team was led by Managing Director Michael Patton. Robinson & Cole LLP served as legal counsel to Medacist and Taft, Stettinius and Hollister LLP served as legal counsel to Bluesight.

"We interviewed several financial advisors to represent us in the sale of our business, and based on the great outcome, we confirmed that our choice for having Provident represent us was the right one. We were very competently represented and guided by Provident. They understood our goals and the landscape of our unique healthcare analytics sector, ultimately bringing us together with an ideal partner. We are very appreciative of their skills, knowledge, and personal touch throughout the process," commented Dave Brzozowski, Founder and CEO of Medacist.

"I enjoyed working with the Brzozowskis throughout this process and wish them, Thoma Bravo, and Bluesight nothing but the best moving forward. The combined platform is a leading provider of drug diversion and medication management solutions and is poised for significant growth both organically and through M&A," commented Rich Sciretta, Vice President at Provident.
