NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ChangeHealthcare–Today, Change Healthcare (Nasdaq: CHNG) announced the acquisition of PDX, a leader in providing patient centric and innovative technologies for pharmacies and health systems.
PDX’s fully integrated retail, specialty, and outpatient pharmacy solutions aim to drive superior operational results for pharmacies while improving outcomes for patients. Their portfolio of solutions includes an Enterprise Pharmacy System™ software, a comprehensive suite of products and services that range from robust data analytics to revenue cycle management, and a flexible clinical services platform.
Today’s transaction complements Change Healthcare’s recent acquisition of eRx Network and demonstrates the company’s continued investment in core aspects of the business to fuel innovation and long-term growth.

This is accomplished through solutions including Absolute AR® revenue cycle management for pharmacies, the PDX pharmacy software management system with applications to assist retail pharmacies with inventory management, clinical programs, and business intelligence, and point of sale solutions.
“After founding PDX with Ron Austring in 1985, PDX has been extremely fortunate to attract a talented group of people to create the Absolute AR®, National Health Information Network® (NHIN), and Freedom Data Systems, Inc.® companies and organizations. Under the leadership of Neil de Crescenzo, the dedicated staff of the PDX companies will continue to serve the pharmacy industry with superior products and services,” said Ken Hill, founder and chairman of the board, PDX Companiesi.
