Knowlton, PhD. "We embarked on a robust search for the right organization to best serve our customers and employees and believe that we have found an excellent partner to advance the future of pharmacy by leveraging these technologies. We anticipate that this divestiture, coupled with our strategic partnership, will position TRHC for accelerated growth and increased stockholder value."

"At TDS, we are dedicated to providing pharmacists with the tools to address their critical and expanding role in delivering high quality patient care.  Adding PrescribeWellness to our existing suite of industry-leading PMS and patient-centric solutions will enable our pharmacist customers to engage with patients, ensure access to the right therapies, drive medication adherence, improve outcomes, boost patient loyalty and generate incremental pharmacy revenue," said Jude Dieterman, CEO of Transaction Data Systems.  "This acquisition, our ongoing collaboration with MedWise and TRHC, and our commitment to innovation will secure our pharmacy customers' position as primary providers in the evolving nexus of clinical care."
