Prior Experience

- Chief Information Officer at Telecare Corporation
I was CIO at Telecare, one of the largest providers of behavioral health services in the country. While the name implies telehealth, Telecare's focus is actually operating 60 programs (facilities) in 5 states across the full spectrum of healthcare - hospitals, sub-acute crisis centers, skilled nursing facilities, case management and assertive community treatment programs. Telecare runs programs under contract for our customers, who typically are county or state governments. We also serve private payors including Kaiser Permanente. Telecare is focused on the mission of recovery of our consumers. For customers (government and insurance), Telecare delivers quality clinical outcomes and financial savings.
