Thomson Reuters profile and media properties

Tom Glocer is the CEO of Thomson Reuters.

Thomson Reuters was formed on April 17, 2008 when The Thomson Corporation, based in Canada, purchased the British company Reuters. Thomson Reuters is a dual-listed company, consisting of Thomson Reuters Corporation, a Canadian company, and Thomson Reuters PLC, a UK company. The Thomson family owns 53% of Thomson Reuters through Woodbridge Investment Company, a holding company for the Thomson family.

Prior to the purchase of Reuters, The Thomson Corporation was a specialized publishing company providing legal and financial data, distributed online, through CD-ROMs and in print. Thomson Reuters operates several market groups including Thomson Legal & Regulatory (the largest), Thomson Learning, Thomson Financial and Thomson Scientific & Healthcare.

Thomson was once a major newspaper publisher, owning the Times of London and The Scotsman in the UK and about 130 daily and non-daily newspapers in the USA and Canada. These properties were gradually sold as Thomson decided to focus on the business-to-business market. Most of the North American newspapers were sold in 2000, to Gannett and CNHI.

In 2004 Thomson sold Thomson Media, its business publishing division, to Investcorp, an investment holding company. The company was renamed Source Media in 2005.

The Thomson Corporation was formed in 1989 with the merger of Thomson Newspapers and the International Thomson Organization. Roy Herbert Thomson founded the company in 1934 in Ontario, Canada as the publisher of The Timmins Daily Press. In 1953 Thomson acquired The Scotsman newspaper and moved to Scotland the following year. In 1957 he won the franchise for Scottish Television, and in 1959 he bought the Kemsley Group giving him control of the Sunday Times. He acquired The Times of London newspaper in 1967.

Reuters was founded in London by Paul Julius Reuter in 1851. It's business involved transmitting stock market quotations. Reuter set up his "Submarine Telegraph" office in October 1851 and negotiated a contract with the London Stock Exchange to provide stock prices from the continental exchanges in return for access to London prices, which he then supplied to stockbrokers in Paris.

Thomson Reuters Acquires Healthcare Data Management, Inc. -- September 1, 2010 -- Thomson Reuters today announced that it has acquired Healthcare Data Management, Inc. Effective immediately, the company will become part of the Healthcare & Science business of Thomson Reuters. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition of Healthcare Data Management will enhance current efforts to remove healthcare waste, make cost and quality more transparent, and support the current and future compliance needs of the payer market. Additionally, the acquisition strengthens Thomson Reuters audit and payment integrity capabilities including, but not limited to medical, prescription drug, provider, eligibility, and plan design. "Healthcare Data Management brings unmatched expertise in health benefits auditing and expense management reporting solutions," said Jon Newpol, executive vice president at the Healthcare & Science business of Thomson Reuters. "Together, we're poised to meet the increased demand for auditing and compliance due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the healthcare reform law, and an overall focus on eliminating waste from the healthcare system. "Healthcare Data Management's primary solutions, BenefitsAudit and BenefitsWatch, will play a key role in expanding our current solutions for employer and government markets," Newpol said.

Russia is Fastest-Growing Trademark-Protecting Country According to Thomson Reuters Analysis -- August 19, 2010 -- Brand protection in Russia is on the rise, according to a detailed intellectual property report titled Trademarks in Russia: Growing Opportunities, Major Challenges, released by the Thomson CompuMark business of Thomson Reuters today. Russian trademark registrations increased by 46 percent from 2004 to 2009, the largest increase of any major trademark-protecting country worldwide. This is in comparison to China and the United States , which saw an increase in registrations of 3 and 6 percent, respectively, for that same period. In addition to a detailed statistical analysis of trademark registrations, objections and claims conducted using the Thomson Reuters SAEGIS database, the report outlines the history of trademark law in Russia, featuring expert perspectives from Eugene A. Arievich of the CIS Intellectual Property Practice Group, and Pavel Gorokhov, Counsel at the Moscow office of Baker & McKenzie. "As the world's leading provider of global trademark solutions, Thomson CompuMark keeps its finger on the pulse of international trademark trends, so our clients can stay on the cutting edge of brand development and emerging markets," said Martin Burke, general manager of Thomson CompuMark.

With collections from more than 200 countries, including the Russian Federation, SAEGIS enables IP professionals to quickly find the information they need for critical brand decisions - all from a single source."

North Carolina Hospitals, Medical Society and Thomson Reuters Lay Groundwork for Statewide Healthcare Information Exchange -- August 17, 2010 -- The North Carolina Hospital Association (NCHA) and The North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) along with Moses Cone Health System and WakeMed Health & Hospitals, today announced they are working with Thomson Reuters and CareEvolution to develop and launch the North Carolina Healthcare Information Exchange (NCHEX). NCHEX will allow physicians to assemble a "continuity of care" record for each patient, comprising the patient's clinical information from all of the providers participating in the exchange. This enhanced patient information will enable better quality and more efficient patient care. NCHEX, which is launching with seven hospitals, three freestanding emergency departments and 57 physician practices, is the first step towards a statewide health information exchange (HIE) for North Carolina. It meets all the criteria for an HIE outlined in the ARRA HITECH Act for Meaningful Use. The exchange will be open to all North Carolina healthcare providers and will actively seek to connect with existing regional health information organizations, health information exchanges, and healthcare information technology systems by leveraging Nationwide Health Information Network Connect and other HIE standards. Organizations interested in joining NCHEX or seeking additional information can visit www.nchex.net. To reduce costs and implementation time, NCHEX will be built on the infrastructure developed for the North Carolina Hospital Emergency Surveillance System (NCHESS). The NCHA and the North Carolina Department of Public Health developed NCHESS in 2004 to capture real-time clinical data from 114 hospital information systems across North Carolina.

Thomson Reuters Study: Catholic and Other Church-Owned Health Systems Deliver Better Quality Care -- August 9, 2010 -- A study released today by Thomson Reuters found that Catholic and other church-owned health systems demonstrated significantly better, more efficient care than for-profit health systems. Catholic health systems also were found to provide significantly higher quality than secular not-for-profit health systems. For-profit systems had the lowest performance among the four types of ownership. A total of 255 U.S. health systems with two or more short-term, general, non-federal hospitals were assessed. Researchers looked at eight metrics that address clinical quality and efficiency: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, 30-day mortality rate, 30-day readmission rate, adherence to clinical standards of care (evidence-based core measures published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), and HCAHPS patient survey score (part of a national initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to measure the quality of care in hospitals). Researchers used American Hospital Association ownership classifications to assign the health systems to one of four ownership categories -- Catholic, other church-owned, investor-owned, or not-for-profit. They found that: -- Catholic and other church-owned systems are significantly more likely to provide higher quality performance and efficiencies to communities than investor-owned systems. -- Investor-owned systems demonstrate lower quality performance than all other groups. "The findings of the study suggest a changing role for health system governance and leadership," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters. "Our data suggest that the leadership of health systems owned by churches may be the most active in aligning quality goals and monitoring achievement of mission across the system."
