December 20, 2016 (Seattle, WA) — YouScript Inc., today announced that well-regarded health IT industry professional Mike Issac has joined the team as Executive Vice President of Implementation. In this role, Issac will work closely with YouScript internal teams to oversee the successful implementation of the YouScript software at top medical centers using Epic, Cerner, AthenaHealth, and other EHR and healthcare software applications.
“This is just the talent YouScript needed on the team to bring precision medicine to the point of care at the top medical centers in the country,” said Kristine Ashcraft, CEO of YouScript. “With almost 20 years’ experience in software implementation and integration with top national players, Mike is poised to make a direct impact on our business and on healthcare improvement, offering insight, expertise, and providing clients with excellent service.”
Issac is an expert in providing support to sales, customer service, and technical teams in the healthcare industry. Issac joins YouScript from RemitDATA where he most recently served as a Senior Vice President after a successful transition and acquisition of co-ownership in IF Technologies. Previously, Issac was also the Vice President, Implementation Services at Bridge Medical who was acquired by Cerner and Medsphere Systems Corporation.
YouScript is the leader in gene-based precision prescribing. In a study published in the Journal of Medical Economics, the University of Utah showed that the use of pharmacogenetic testing and YouScript’s clinical decision support software reduced hospitalizations by 39-percent and ER visits by 71-percent in elderly patients taking multiple medications in just 4-months. A pending publication of a randomized controlled trial in home health patients shows dramatic reductions in re-hospitalizations, ER visits, and mortality. Mike Issac stated, “This is one of the few solutions I have seen that meets the goals of the Triple Aim. I am excited to be on the team bringing this transformational technology to market.”
