CEO @Hiteks

New York, NY, US

As CEO of Hiteks I lead our company\'s approach to smart, innovative solutions integrated with physician workflow within EHRs. Having worked for 9 years in Pharma as Head of Data Analytics at Roche and Genentech, I came to understand the economic impact of good data. My training at the NIH, Intermountain, and University of Utah in Natural Language Processing, with later exposure as a professor at Northwestern’s Medical Informatics Program, confirmed that supporting physicians with good data, in real-time at the point-of-care can result in huge efficiencies in the healthcare system.We eliminate double entry and present all relevant information in real-time to the MD so he can provide the best and most efficient care through effective Problem List Management. Our technology saves doctors an hour a day in frustrating computer time, improving their satisfaction, and allowing them to see more patients (or spend more time with those they see). The availability of higher quality data at the point of care leads to benefits for the hospital enterprise. Hospitals now can retain more revenue from improving ICD10 specificity without being burdened with excessive queries or claims denials.Hospitals further benefit by capturing far more revenue because they don’t miss reimbursement opportunities. The CIO benefits because our solution is cloud-based and can be easily integrated with most EHRs, eliminating local implementation and support. The physician benefits with targeted point of care clarifications and advice within their workflow.Learn more about how we’re pushing the envelope: https://hiteks.com/
