DUBLIN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HealthSpot Inc., a pioneer in patient and provider-driven healthcare technology, is excited to announce the expansion of senior leadership with the addition of three experienced and innovative professionals to fill the roles of Chief Medical Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Joining HealthSpot® founder and CEO Steve Cashman on the executive team, Dr. Gail Borgatti Croall, MD, Eric Eichensehr and Bruce Roberts all bring years of leadership experience along with extensive knowledge of the healthcare IT and pharmacy sector.
“We are growing quickly and bringing on board this type of talent is key to our mission to transform healthcare access,” said Steve Cashman, CEO of HealthSpot. “Gail, Eric, and Bruce all possess insight and experience that will be invaluable to achieving our vision of delivering consumer centricity through platform technology to make healthcare accessible for all.”
Dr. Borgatti Croall comes to HealthSpot with over 12 years of leadership roles in managing population health for large national managed care companies and statewide health plans for Commercial, Healthcare Exchange and Medicaid populations. She has previously served as Senior Vice President and CMO for Anthem, Inc., OptumHealth, a UnitedHealth company, and National Medical Director at CareSource.
“I am privileged to be joining HealthSpot at a time when the delivery of healthcare is experiencing an evolution,” said Dr. Borgatti Croall. “The work HealthSpot is doing to make healthcare more accessible, convenient and efficient is critical and I am proud to be joining those efforts.”
Dr. Borgatti Croall’s vast range of experience in the healthcare field is supplemented by her involvement in several nationally recognized organizations. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for both the Visiting Nurse Association of Southwest Ohio and The Emily Program, and is on the Cognitive Scale Advisory Board. Dr. Borgatti Croall’s drive to improve the quality and continuity of care will be vital as HealthSpot moves forward into new segments.
A veteran of the healthcare IT industry with more than 30 years of experience, Eric Eichensehr also brings a wealth of capabilities and knowledge to HealthSpot as the Chief Technology Officer. He has worked with senior staff and C-suite executives in a variety of roles at major organizations such as Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco Systems, and Intel just to name a few. His experience with consumer-facing software across various operating platforms, paired with a proven forward-looking vision for bringing emerging technology to scale, makes him an ideal executive for the HealthSpot team.
“It’s a privilege to join the growing HealthSpot team as the company continues to push past barriers and increase the pace of healthcare, technology and innovation, with IT playing an integral role,” said Eichensehr. “I look forward to building on the core solution to continue improving care while saving patients and providers both time and money.”
Moving forward, Eichensehr will oversee all aspects of product development, support and quality assurance for HealthSpot’s telemedicine station. He will manage the development of a software platform to integrate medical records and medical devices to stream medical data between patients and providers. He will also ensure that HealthSpot’s technology initiatives match up with business goals and market requirements.
Bruce Roberts has devoted his professional life to the advancement of community pharmacy and pharmacist-centered patient care. As the founder and owner of four pharmacies, he will bring a unique perspective and firsthand experience that will be crucial as HealthSpot moves into retail pharmacies. During his tenure as the CEO of the National Community Pharmacist Association (NCPA), Roberts co-founded SureScripts, a company focused on facilitating the connection between prescribers and pharmacies for the provision of electronic prescribing.
“I am honored to serve as HealthSpot’s COO as the company sets out to bring to market a new and innovative means to deliver patient care in our evolving healthcare system,” said Roberts. “I hope my nearly 40 years in the pharmacy industry will prove valuable as HealthSpot expands its footprint through partnerships with retail pharmacies across the U.S. and around the world.”
