About David Deas

I’ve worked more than twenty years in hospitals trying to make healthcare better. It is incredibly difficult but so important because the statistics we look at represent real people. If we can lower sepsis mortality a percentage point, that is real people celebrating another birthday with their family. If we can help turn beds faster that is less time that someone\'s mom spends on a hall bed in an overcrowded ER. If we can save a doctor one click for each patient I know those clicks add up to more dinners at home. If we can give a nurse information at their fingertips instead of searching the chart that is more time listening to the patient instead of typing at a computer.We make applications packed with the years of shared experience our team has working directly in hospitals and clinics. We link seamlessly to the EMR, we don\'t flood you with unnecessary information, we battle extra the clicks and tabs and all the things that drive you crazy, and even more, we care about the people who fight on the front lines of our healthcare system every day. This isn\'t a \"market segment\" to me, healthcare is my career, building software is just what I am good at.Here is what I care about most (in order):• improving patient care• bettering the lives of doctors and nurses• helping healthcare organizations save time and moneyMy goal on LinkedIn is to nurture relationships in healthcare. Even if we don\'t have something you can use, getting to know your challenges and successes makes me better at my job. Let\'s talk about what is going on in your organization. I love to sit in nurse leader meetings and hear what is driving them crazy. Let me hang out with your ED doctors and help figure out why MSE times are up. Let\'s talk with your operations team about how we deal with beds that are reserved but empty because patients are going to procedure areas before coming to the floor. Let\'s start a conversation, because if I am not making you better at your job then I\'m not really doing mine.
