What to know
A distressed bankruptcy sale of an outpatient EMR software business (2002, the first bid was $20 million in cash), so a low anchor. What was bought was the software and hosting business; the practices, not MedicaLogic, controlled the clinical data, so it is not a data licence.
Arithmetic
$35,250,000 / 16,000,000 patients = $2.20 per patient (the count is 'more than 16 million', so this is an upper bound).
