“This is the perfect time for Verge Solutions to bring Dr. Crockett in as CEO.  He is a very talented physician executive with a history of providing great leadership for growing technology companies,” says Interim CEO Larry McTavish. “The pace of change in Healthcare is exponential, and ‘value based care’ is the new standard that providers will be measured to. Verge products ensure quality of care and patient safety for more than 800 hospitals, and Dr. Crockett will be moving the company forward with the speed necessary to seize the great opportunity ahead of Verge in current and new care models. His proven history of vision, innovation, and engineering performance brings new capabilities to an already strong company with established market presence.”

Their suite of tools help hospitals keep patients safe, reduce costs, and help provider systems communicate the value of their care in a completely new and more credible way.”

Dr. Crockett has been involved in healthcare technology ventures since 1997. An accomplished leader and a pioneer in the area of healthcare information technology, Dr. Crockett saw early on the need for hospital information systems that integrate and drive processes.  He was a pioneer in EMR systems and population health.  As a practicing physician, Mark understands the needs and goals of our healthcare clients along with the importance of implementing best practice processes to achieve those goals. Whether as an ER doctor or at the helm of several healthcare information technology companies, Crockett has been focused on achieving the Triple Aim of healthcare: improving quality, improving patient outcomes, and lowering healthcare costs.

“Joining a great team doing exciting things and delivering for clients is what drives Mark, both in the ER and in the office. Thank you for your support as we continue to progress and focus on delivering the best possible SaaS solutions for healthcare quality improvement.” -Chris Malanuk,
