David Winn, M.D., the founder and former CEO of e-MDs, will assume the role of Chairman of the Board. He will continue to contribute to the strategic direction of e-MDs while expanding his medical missionary work in foreign countries and other philanthropic endeavors. Michael Stearns, M.D., formerly President of e-MDs, has assumed the role of President and CEO. “Over the past ten years I have seen this company become one of the foremost providers of EHR software and services in the country. In his role as President of e-MDs, Dr. Stearns has demonstrated his leadership and vision in this industry. His experience as a clinician coupled with his extensive knowledge of health information technology will ensure that e-MDs will deliver the right solutions for 21st century medicine,” stated Dr. Winn.
Dr. Stearns has participated in several high profile health information technology initiatives sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, the National Cancer Institute, SNOMED International, and HITSP. He has also spent much of the last 7 years working closely with physicians on the design, development and implementation of electronic health records. “I am deeply honored to be given the opportunity to build on Dr. Winn’s track record of success.

New models of delivering care, such as the medical home, emphasize the need for care that is coordinated and integrated across care settings. Physicians will require seamless financial and clinical solutions like those offered by e-MDs that not only resolve workflow issues within the practice, but also allow physicians to share information amongst themselves and with other healthcare facilities,” said Maria Rudolph.
