Chicago, IL — HealthiPASS, an innovative patient check-in and payments company, announced Tuesday that HealthX Ventures has joined the company’s funding round. HealthiPASS had completed a Series A funding in late 2015, led by OCA Ventures along with several strategic healthcare investors.

High above State Street in Downtown Madison, with the city’s four lakes encircling a penthouse view, a group of 20 or so health technology executives recently launched an effort to highlight the city’s role in creating solutions for healthcare’s future.

EnsoData, a healthcare data science company led by two University of Wisconsin-Madison graduates, announced Wednesday the close of a $550,000 funding round led by HealthX Ventures, a new Madison based venture capital fund focused on digital health solutions.

Mark Bakken didn’t build a 500-member Epic consultancy by accident. Bakken, the founder of both Nordic and HealthX Ventures, saw the need for a new model for electronic health record (EHR) consulting, so he pioneered one.

The Capital Times covered a recent 1 Million Cups meeting where Wes Garnett spoke about the “gold rush” of entrepreneurs coming to Madison, Wisconsin to start digital health companies.

Xconomy recently profiled the home base of HealthX Ventures in downtown Madison, which some in the city’s business community have been calling the “Sand Hill building.”

How’s Nordic’s business these days? Our business is booming, like everybody else in healthcare IT right now. We’re doing a lot with optimization, helping a lot of Epic customers as they figure out how to leverage their investment in Epic and the EMR to not only improve care, but reduce costs at the same time.

Four Wisconsin-based venture capital groups, each with a different focus but potentially working together, have set up shop at 111 N. Fairchild St. in a sparkling new office building that offers views of the Capitol on one side and the Overture Center on the other.

Madison is in a sweet spot when it comes to creating health care IT software, programs and applications, thanks in large part to the success of Epic Systems, the electronic medical records giant located in nearby Verona.

Mark Bakken has shown he can build a successful business. Now, he wants to help others in Madison do the same.
