Allocate Software acquired RealTime Health ltd in July 2012.
RealTime Health Ltd was incorporated in 2008 to ensure a development home and a commercial future for the RealTime product. As a concept, RealTime is the brainchild of Dr. Jess Boyer and Dave Nurse (Chief Medical Officer and Chief Technical Officer respectively of RealTime Health Ltd), who joined forces in late 2006 while working for different organisations to help acute hospitals reduce length of stay through clinical service improvement. This clinical service improvement is achieved via a combination of clinical performance improvement consultancy and supporting ‘decision support’ software. An informal organisation known as the ‘RealTime Alliance’ was created in 2007 in the UK to allow a forum for best-of-breed participating companies to cooperate on length of stay reduction projects. The methodology derives from Eagle Medical Management LLC in the US through Dr. Jess Boyer, who is their principal consultant. The initial software development was the responsibility of CSW Group Ltd in the UK under the management and designs of Dave Nurse, who was their CTO. The RealTime Business Unit that was set up to create a commercially viable business was housed in CSW Group Ltd and headed up by Jim Gabriel, now CEO of RealTime Health Ltd.
Acquired in December 2009, Time Care AB is a leading Swedish-based provider of workforce management software, with a strong focus on the healthcare market.
