Approximately 250 employees from Sagacious Consultants will join Accenture, bringing specialized skills in implementation, systems integration, upgrades and optimization of EHR solutions from Epic Systems.

As Accenture execs see it, the acquisition will expand the Accenture’s capabilities to help clients realize the benefits of EHR systems by improving clinical and business outcomes.
