IntellaTriage Names James Lezzer VP of Interoperability

BRENTWOOD, Tennessee—IntellaTriage, a provider of after-hours nurse-first triage solutions, announced the appointment of James (Jim) Lezzer as vice president of Interoperability. In this newly created role, Lezzer will lead the company’s ongoing efforts to deepen integration between its proprietary triage platform, IntellaHub and major electronic medical record (EMR) systems.

A health care executive, Lezzer brings years of experience in building strategic partnerships across the health care technology landscape. He most recently served as vice president of Strategic Partnerships at LivTech, where he forged relationships that advanced interoperability and innovation across multiple health tech platforms.

“Everything we do, every strategic move we make, is intended to fulfill our mission to improve the lives of nurses and patients,” said Daniel Reese, CEO of IntellaTriage. “Direct integration with EMRs is the safest and most efficient way to support our triage nurses, our clients and their patients. It results in real improvements to both patient care and the clinician experience. We’ve already made significant progress in this area with our integrations to Homecare Homebase and Epic, and Jim’s expertise will help us accelerate even further. I’m thrilled to welcome him to the team and excited to see how his leadership will shape this next chapter of our growth.”

Lezzer said he is equally enthusiastic about the opportunity. 

“I’ve spent years working alongside providers and vendors, learning where the gaps are in health care communication and technology,” Lezzer said. “I’m excited to put those insights to work at IntellaTriage, helping break down the silos that slow care and create friction. The IntellaTriage mission resonates with me personally, and I’m excited to be able to help patients and their caregivers get the support they need while ensuring our clients are able provide them with the highest quality care.”

IntellaTriage has long championed technology as a tool to support, but not replace, compassionate, nurse-led care. While not a tech company at its core, IntellaTriage leverages technology like IntellaHub to remove barriers, streamline communication and enhance both clinical accuracy and patient experience.

In the home health and hospice space, EMRs frequently lack interoperability, creating inefficiencies that impact patient care and provider workflows. IntellaTriage said it is addressing this gap. Its established integration with Homecare Homebase has improved client workflows, eliminated redundancies and enhanced the experience for both patients and field nurses.
