In 1998, Orion Health (formerly known as Orion Systems International) began physically expanding into North America, the United Kingdom and Australia. After a number of small scale sales, the Canadian State of Alberta, purchased a full Health Information Exchange (HIE) in 2003.[5][6]

Australia then followed suit in 2004, with the purchase of a full HIE for the state of New South Wales.

Orion Health had been a privately owned company for over 20 years[7], but it became a public organization on 26 November 2014 when it listed on the NZX. [8]

As of 2016, Orion Health is working with the New Zealand government on a public-private research partnership to promote precision-driven healthcare.[9][10] Today the company has more than 1200 staff globally.[11]

The company also has a presence in Europe, and is most recently working with Dorset County in 2017.[12]
