Embloom continues under the umbrella of Health Cloud Initiative (HCI). The company will continue to operate under its own name.

Embloom offers a wide range of questionnaires and digital treatment modules. This allows healthcare providers within mental health and general practitioner care, among others, to enrich their customized treatment offerings and offer clients greater convenience and better quality of care. Health Cloud Inititative (HCI) has been working with Embloom for some time by integrating the portfolio into its EHR and patient portal software.

Accelerating innovation

HCI and Embloom will be able to accelerate innovation in their joint offerings by joining forces. This will allow them to better respond to the rapidly growing demand for hybrid and digital healthcare. And thus ensure the accessibility and quality of healthcare in the Netherlands.

Existing links are being further innovated. This improves the user experience of caregivers and their clients and provides more opportunities for customized care.

Broad suite of EHRs

In addition to integration with HCI, Embloom offers links to a wide range of third-party EHRs. This is done from the Maastricht office with the current team of 35 employees and management. Founder and managing director Marco Essed will also stay on board. He joins the HCI management board.

Care Platform

Marc Prette, CEO of HCI, is pleased with the arrival of Embloom: "With Embloom, we are realizing an important step toward a future-proof all-in-one healthcare platform of EHR, patient environment and e-health for both caregiver and client."

Marco Essed, CEO of Embloom: "I have been working for decades with EPDs that today fall under the HCI label. First through the mental health institution where I worked, later as a supplier. As Embloom, we have a lot of links to their systems. We share as many as 400 to 500 customers. We wanted to offer more and more total solutions. So it was a logical step for us to partner with an EHR vendor. Since we already collaborate so much with HCI, that was also a logical step."

Cooperation with other EHR vendors will not change, Essed emphasizes. "We exist by the grace of good cooperation. That's not going to change."
