Inventurus Knowledge Solutions, Inc. (IKS Health), the U.S. subsidiary of Inventurus Knowledge Solutions Limited, announced a definitive agreement to acquire TruBridge, Inc., a provider of healthcare technology solutions for rural and community hospitals. The proposed strategic acquisition aims to broaden access to high-quality care by integrating IKS Health's care enablement capabilities with TruBridge's deep expertise in supporting community health systems.The move is positioned as a commitment to strengthen local healthcare systems across the United States, where nearly one in five Americans face challenges accessing care. By combining resources, the newly formed healthcare technology company plans to enable patients to receive essential care closer to home while enhancing care delivery across the entire ambulatory and acute care continuum.
Post-acquisition, the combined entity aims to deliver continuous improvement and connected workflows to the core of rural healthcare and to medical groups overall. The strategy involves combining agentic artificial intelligence (AI) with human-in-the-loop expertise to proactively address complex operational challenges.

He added that by pairing TruBridge's essential system of record with IKS Health's AI-driven system of action, the combined entity moves beyond merely recording data to actively solving complex operational challenges faced by providers.
The combined organization will bring modern revenue cycle management, predictive analytics, and advanced EHR capabilities to support more than 2,000 healthcare organizations and over 150,000 clinicians, utilizing a broad portfolio of AI-driven and human-led solutions designed to improve clinical, operational, and financial excellence.
Chris Fowler, President and CEO of TruBridge, expressed enthusiasm for the merger, noting that IKS Health shares a passion to improve provider experiences and financial results, leading to better patient outcomes.
Under the terms of the agreement, TruBridge shareholders will receive $26.25 in cash for each share of common stock. The acquisition has received approval from the Boards of Directors of IKS Health, IKS, and TruBridge. The transaction is expected to close during the third calendar quarter of 2026.
