Sunquest Information Systems today announced the completion of its acquisition of Anglia Healthcare Systems (AHSL), a privately-held, U.K.-based company and provider of laboratory connectivity, orders, reporting and messaging solutions.

Sunquest signed a definitive agreement last month to acquire AHSL as part of its stated strategy to increase its global presence and strengthen its outreach and physician affinity strategy for the international market.

By combining its laboratory information system (LIS) products with a complementary and comprehensive set of solutions, Sunquest will be able to better create new business opportunities and facilitate better communications between hospitals, laboratories, physicians, communities, and patients, the company said.
