“We’re excited to welcome Comparion into the Quantros family,” says Annie Callanan, chief executive officer of Quantros, Inc. “The addition of Comparion’s capabilities truly strengthens our value propositions to customers, particularly for those participating in alternative value-based models linking payments to safer, higher quality care.”
Following the acquisition, support will remain in place for the Comparion CARE Performance Assessment Suite™.
