Highest Ranked Health IT Services firm on the 2015 List

inc Growth IconInc. magazine today ranked Healthcare IT Leaders 198th on its 34th annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

Healthcare IT Leaders' ranking among the top 200 is based on three-year revenue growth of 2,120% from 2011 to 2014. The company ranked 18th for growth among all healthcare companies on the list and 12th among all Georgia-based firms. Among its competitors, the firm is the highest ranked Health IT Services company on the 2015 list.

“Ours is a people business and some of the best people I know work here at Healthcare IT Leaders,” said Bob Bailey, Managing Principal. “It’s great to have their hard work recognized. Our clients are some of the largest healthcare providers in the U.S. and it’s a privilege to serve them and help them deliver quality care to patients through our IT consulting and recruitment services.”

The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."
