Jonathan Bush, co-founder and CEO of athenahealth, said the deal with Trinity Health is a basic one, but it does help support the company’s future innovation plans.
“I spend most of my time on athenahealth’s edge products, but this isn’t edge,” Mr. Bush told Boston Business Journal. “This [Trinity deal] is fairway, meat and potatoes; stuff we’re good at. We get a big load of stuff we’re already good at doing. That’s what pays for everything else.”
The innovative, “edge” goals, Mr. Bush said in the report, are what propels the company in the long-run.
