Closing is subject to certain closing conditions and PACE shareholder approval. 3M will offer positions to most of PACE's employees and will assume full support of PACE's customers. Both companies develop expert clinical software and information systems for the health care industry.
PACE specializes in clinical documentation and case management products.
These products are a strong complement to 3M's computer-based patient record system, the 3M Healthcare Enterprise Management System, which provides clinical decision support based on integrated patient data from many health care sites and systems. The goal in health care today is to enhance patient care while reducing costs. They will work seamlessly with our data integration, data review, and clinical alerting products to drive clinical decision support. 3M understands the value of this perspective and shares it. That makes our products very compatible.
