Leading advisory, tax and assurance firm Baker Tilly US, LLP announced Feb. 3, their acquisition of Orchestrate Healthcare, an award-winning healthcare IT professional services and consulting firm.

Colorado-based Orchestrate helps healthcare providers improve processes and systems, particularly electronic health records (EHR). The firm delivers services across data integration and interoperability, EHR implementation and optimization, healthcare analytics, information security, and healthcare IT staffing.

Baker Tilly's acquisition of Orchestrate will strengthen the firm's ability to support healthcare providers seeking digital and data optimization amid heightened margin pressures and a shift to value-based care models.

"We are continuing to invest heavily in the digital space," said Angela MacPhee, managing partner of consulting at Baker Tilly US. "With this combination, Baker Tilly can deliver a holistic approach for healthcare providers so they can administer the best patient care while controlling costs and adopting new business models."

The deal, for which financial terms were not disclosed, is slated to complete on March 1.

"This is a powerful combination of strategic alignment and complementary solutions that will allow us to provide our clients and our team members with more across the board," said Charlie Cook, President of Orchestrate Healthcare. "Baker Tilly has it all: a forward-thinking vision and a focus on talent."

Orchestrate employs approximately 120 and has completed more than1,400 engagements since its founding in 2006. The firm's clients include Penn Medicine, Temple Health, and Tampa General Hospital.

Baker Tilly's acquisitions in the last six months include: The Compliance Group; The MFA Companies; Arnett Carbis Toothman; AcctTwo; and Margolin, Winer & Evens.
