The acquisition, expected to close in the first half of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, expands 3M’s health information systems’ capabilities*. 3M will maintain a strategic business relationship with M*Modal’s remaining transcription, scribing and coding services business, which is not part of this transaction, to ensure continuity and customer support.

Annual revenue of M*Modal’s technology business is estimated to be approximately $200m.
*3M Health Information Systems (HIS) business works with more than 8,000 healthcare organizations worldwide, both providers and payers, to deliver software and services across the continuum of care. 3M HIS offerings – which include the 3MTM 360 EncompassTM software platform – combine clinical documentation systems and risk assessment methodologies to help accurately capture, analyze and advance patient information.
