“Our fourth quarter marks a strong end to a strategic year. We continue to make meaningful progress on the launch and implementation of Converge™, our scalable, omnichannel platform designed to enable trusted healthcare players to deliver the next-generation of care and enhance their ability to meet their strategic, operational, financial and clinical objectives. Feedback has been strong, and is demonstrated by a record number of active providers on the platform and recent recognition from industry leaders,” said Dr. Ido Schoenberg, Chairman and CEO.
Dr. Schoenberg continued, “During 2022, we expect to complete the build out of Converge and begin to normalize our recent Converge-related R&D expenditures.
