Information technology firm Misys of the U.K. continued its plan to shed healthcare IT assets by announcing the sale of its Diagnostic Information Systems business to a San Francisco-based venture capital firm.
Misys said it has reached an agreement to sell the Tucson, AZ-based division to Vista Equity Partners for $381.5 million. The division had annual revenues of $162.9 million, operating profit of $47.4 million, and employs 750 people.
Misys said it is planning to shed the division, as well as its computerized patient record (CPR) operations, to focus on operations in the ambulatory and connected community settings. The division has its roots in Misys' purchase of information systems developer Sunquest Information Systems in 2001 for $404 million.
Misys said that the purchasers of the Diagnostic Information Systems and CPR businesses will act as resellers of the company's Misys Connect hospital connectivty system. Vista will also sell Misys electronic medical record (EMR) software as its preferred EMR offering for ambulatory physicians.

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
