MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Auxilio, Inc. a leading provider of document image management services for the healthcare industry, announced today that Edward Case has agreed to join its Board of Directors as of January 1st 2006. Mr. Case will bring extensive healthcare financial and operational experience to the Auxilio Board. He will provide assistance with Auxilio's Audit Committee and operational issues such as vendor relationships and pricing, as well as provide a continual understanding of the healthcare financial environment.
Most recently Mr. Case has owned and operated Healthcare Resource Associates, a leading provider of business process outsourcing services focused on cash flow improvements for hospitals and physicians. Prior to Healthcare Resource Associates, Mr. Case was President and CEO of Presbyterian Healthcare, a three hospital regional system serving a two state region, providing a full range of specialty and tertiary services, with annual revenue of approximately $600 million.
Mr. Case also spent 13 years with BJC Health System in St. Louis, MO. A nationally recognized system operating 13 hospitals with annual revenues in excess of $2.0 billion, Mr. Case held the title of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer during his tenure at the system. He was responsible for the overall strategic, financial and operational leadership of the system.
"We are honored to have an individual with the kind of experience that Ed brings to us," stated Joe Flynn, Chairman & CEO of Auxilio, Inc. "Ed has been in Healthcare for over 20 years and will provide Auxilio with the in-depth knowledge of the healthcare financial environment we need to successfully grow Auxilio. Having Ed on our board helps to accomplish our goal of working with more senior level healthcare executives to help guide Auxilio through our continued growth," added Flynn.
"I am excited about working with Joe and his team at Auxilio as a member of the Board of Directors," stated Mr. Case. "Auxilio's very unique business model of providing on site managed services for document image management is something that is long overdue in healthcare. For far too long, healthcare administrators have had no true concept of the costs related to utilization of the expensive equipment and services often related to document image management, nor the impact this process has on employee productivity. Auxilio has created a very clear and concise measure of this area that I believe will provide tremendous value to the healthcare market," added Mr. Case.
Mr. Case has served as a lecturer at the University of North Carolina's Masters in Healthcare Administration Program. Mr. Case has also been a lecturer and instructor for the Washington University School of Medicine Masters in Healthcare Administration Program.
