Netsmart Technologies is an American company that develops and sells health information technology, including electronic health records, especially for organizations and entities in the behavioral health field. It was founded in 1992 although its technology origins go back to 1968 with the founding of Creative Socio-Medics, which it acquired in 1994. Netsmart has since grown via many other acquisitions. It is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. ==Origins== Netsmart Technologies was originally known as Medical Services Corporation.〔 Created in September 1992, this was a holding company which did business under a subsidiary called Carte Medical Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sagemark Companies Ltd · 10-K · For 12/31/97 )〕 In October 1993, Medical Services Corp. merged its subsidiary into itself and became directly known as Carte Medical.〔 In June 1994, Carte Medical acquired Creative Socio-Medics (CSM).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Form 10-K/A, Netsmart Technologies, Inc. )〕 Creative Socio-Medics had been founded by Gerald O. Koop and John F. Phillips in 1968. It had then been acquired in 1973 by Advanced Computer Techniques (ACT), a New York City-based software company that specialized in language compilers but also engaged in information technology consulting and hosted service bureaus. CSM specialized in delivering software products and hardware and software services in the human services field, specifically for behavioral health providers such as psychiatric hospitals and mental health clinics.〔 In 1989, CSM had stopped sharing physical facilities with the rest of ACT and relocated to Islip, New York on Long Island. CSM had tended to be profitable some years but not other years and was rarely in solid financial shape. By the early 1990s, ACT's other businesses had been closed down and it was motivated to sell CSM as well.〔 In June 1995, Carte Medical Corporation's name was changed to CSMC Corporation, and in February 1996, the name was finally changed to Netsmart Technologies, Inc.〔 Creative Socio-Medics became the company's operations arm that it did business through.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Netsmart Technologies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
