Under the agreement, the software licence will be rolled out in stages as per Adventist Health's individual hospital directions. Mach7 is anticipating that 3 of the 22 hospitals will place an order within the current quarter, reflecting immediate short-term revenue generation.

The remaining orders are mostly expected to be completed by the end of the 2021 calendar year.

The contract is worth $7.9 million, and includes migration services as well as support and maintenance for 5 years.
