EHR & HIE Consulting Experience
Patricia A. Dodgen - CEO
As a senior executive in financial, technical and operational management, Patti brings a rare and highly coveted depth of experience to Hielix in the creation and execution of sustainable healthcare IT solutions, ranging from the implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR), to state-wide Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). Patti has lead the creation of thought and execution leadership in the evolution of healthcare delivery -- working with physician practices, hospitals and regional and state healthcare organizations to seamlessly integrate healthcare IT (HIT) solutions and exchange data. In addition to past positions held in the telecommunications, broadcasting, print media and computer technology fields, Patti is able to bring the breadth of understanding necessary to seamlessly integrate health information technology with the operational realities of her customers.
Since co-founding Hielix, Patti has extended her ability to create sustainable IT solutions into a position of market leadership for the adoption of EHR in physician practices and the implementation and reporting needs of achieving Meaningful Use as defined within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Patti has become a much sought after speaker for her understanding of Meaningful Use, electronic health records and health information exchanges. She regularly speaks in front of regional and national healthcare organizations and is a subject matter expert for some of the world’s largest healthcare technology distributors, the leading Health IT associations and global technology vendors. She was a key participant with the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HiMSS) workgroup in the development of health IT recommendations for the transition team of President Obama and continues to provide leadership and support to the HiMSS’ Meaningful Use Center of Leadership.
