Carmel, IN.– Clinical Architecture has been recognized as one of the 2013 Indiana Companies to Watch, an awards program presented by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, its Small Business Development Center and the Edward Lowe Foundation.
Thirty-three companies from Indiana will be honored as outstanding second-stage companies during the fifth annualIndiana Companies to Watchawards program, held on August 22 in Indianapolis.
Companies to Watch is an awards program that celebrates Indiana’s privately-held second-stage companies, those businesses that are past the startup phase, are considered to be established, and face issues of growth, not survival.
Companies honored range in industries and have headquarters based in 14 counties throughout the state. Among the 33 honored companies in 2013 is Clinical Architecture.
Clinical Architecture is the leading innovator in healthcare terminology management technology. While healthcare market forces and regulatory requirements have elevated the importance of managing information as coded data, or terminology; traditional tools and methods have not evolved to meet the challenge. Clinical Architecture is moving healthcare forward by providing innovative software solutions for managing the complexities of healthcare terminologies, so healthcare can move past its current dependency on legacy content, restrictive technology and the manual processes they require.
About Indiana Companies to Watch
Companies to Watch firms must employ between six and 150 full-time equivalent employees, have between $750,000 and $100 million in annual revenue or working capital in place, and demonstrate the intent and capacity to grow based on employee or sales growth, exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, sustainable competitive advantage or other notable strengths.
This year the program attracted 308 nominees and applicants. From that pool, 91 finalists were selected, and 33 companies emerged to become the 2013 class of Indiana Companies to Watch.
This awards program is unique because of its focus on second-stage companies. The impact of these companies on Indiana’s economy is tangible. In 2010 Indiana’s resident companies accounted for nearly 34,000 second-stage establishments according toYourEconomy.org, an online resource of the Edward Lowe Foundation. Those second-stage companies represented an average of more than 866,000 workers that year.
Looking at the contributions of these companies from a different perspective, in 2010 only 8.6 percent of Indiana’s resident establishments were in the second-stage category, however, they accounted for 37 percent of jobs in the state.
This program would not be possible without the generous support of Barnes & Thornburg LLP as well as Katz, Sapper & Miller, KeyBank, and Purdue University. The program is also supported by Ivy Tech Corporate College and media sponsors BizVoice magazine, Inside Indiana Business and Northwest Indiana Business Quarterly.
