Our team · 100+ years combined health-tech experience

The only digital CCM team that has both designed the EHR and practiced medicine within it.

Our founder helped grow Epic from 800 employees and $150M in revenue to nearly 14,000 employees and $5B in revenue — making it the largest electronic medical records company in the world. The team behind Telemetrix carries that operational lineage forward.

For nearly 14 years Dr. Shillingstad served as Epic's Medical Director in charge of Clinical Informatics in Verona, Wisconsin.

Dr. Shillingstad's role at Epic entailed sales and marketing, clinical optimization, physician engagement, software demonstrations, assisting in clinical software development, research and reporting, clinical alerts, voice recognition, pre go-live audits, and post-live visits. Dr. Shillingstad has also written a book on physician optimization and gives many talks to clinicians, project teams, and hospital leadership regarding electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, and chronic care management.

Dr. Shillingstad is a board-certified general surgeon trained at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
