NEW YORK—Tennr announced that it is bringing on Maulik Shah as general manager of Health Systems.
Shah has helped health systems implement electronic health records (EHRs) at Epic, guided hospitals in getting the most out of those systems at Huron and enabled clinicians to work more efficiently with ambient artificial intelligence (AI) at Ambience. Throughout the past decade, he has helped hospitals cut costs, close care gaps and give clinicians more time to focus on patients.
"I shook Maulik's hand for the first time, deeply intimidated," said Trey Holterman, CEO and co-founder of Tennr. "Not just because of his incredible accomplishments and pedigree, but for the simple fact that he has oven mitts for hands that simply command respect. Fortunately, I reminded myself that was quite alright as we had big shoes to fill with this role."
"Seeing how hard clinicians work despite those constraints made me want to help health systems open more doors to care," said Shah. "What stood out about Tennr from my first conversation with Trey was its focus on people and performance. The team values relationships and measures success by real-world results, not just technology for technology's sake."
At Tennr, Shah will lead efforts to help health systems streamline referral qualification and routing, improve patient access and ensure they're reimbursed accurately and on time. By removing the administrative hurdles that slow care delivery, Tennr aims to help hospitals improve financial performance and give clinicians more capacity to focus on patients.
