Appointment Strengthens Commitment to Physician Adoption Across
Family of Companies
CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), a community healthcare solutions company,
today announced that William J. Hayes, M.D., has been named Chief
Medical Officer for the Company.
In this role, Dr. Hayes will oversee the Physician Adoption team
and focus on improving the user experience community providers have
with all CPSI solutions. Dr. Hayes will continue to leverage
existing client channels such as the Physician Council, Early
Adopter and Pilot programs, while searching for new, innovative
ways to advance physician adoption, much like he did in his
previous role as Medical Director.
In addition to his M.D. from Rutgers University’s Robert Wood
Johnson Medical School, Dr. Hayes completed his MBA from the
Mitchell College of Business at the University of South Alabama. He
has also been a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. Dr.
Hayes’ most recent experience has been as a Physician Executive
with Cerner Corporation in Kansas City, Medical Director of
Cardiovascular Diagnostic Services for Internal Medicine Center in
Mobile, as well as an Executive Physician Consultant for Eclipsys
Corporation of Atlanta. He has held several other executive
positions and was a partner/owner of Cardiology Associates PC of
Mobile, where he practiced cardiology and critical care medicine at
five hospitals. He was previously a Chief Cardiology Fellow at
Texas Heart Institute.
“Dr. Hayes brings a unique blend of executive experience and
first-hand medical knowledge to CPSI that will serve the needs of
our clients,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive
officer of CPSI. “Dr. Hayes understands the importance of
Physician Adoption to the success of community healthcare, and he
will serve as a direct link between our client physicians and
internal teams as we continue improving our healthcare
solutions.”
In his new role, Dr. Hayes is passionate about his opportunity
to have an impact on how healthcare is delivered across the
spectrum. Hayes noted, “As a CMO, it’s my responsibility to make
sure that we as a company continue to understand that we are
providing a tool that ultimately improves the outcome for patients.
As a healthcare solutions company, we are providing care to the
patients. We do it through physicians, we do it through laboratory,
we do it through revenue; whatever it is, it’s just another tool of
delivery. We want people to rely on our system because it does the
right thing.
“I never wanted to look back and say I might have been able to
make an impact in the HIT/EMR world. I’d like to move the needle a
lot, but in the right direction towards better adoption, usability,
delivery, quality, the whole nine yards,” added Hayes.
