Mr. Marshalek joins MEDecision from Children�s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was Vice President of Information Services. �With the tremendous products that MEDecision has launched this year, and with what many foresee as rapid expansion in collaborative health care management, it is crucial for MEDecision to bring in professionals who can use Alineo and Nexalign as the foundation for outstanding client solutions,� said David St.Clair, Founder and CEO of MEDecision. �With George�s expertise in health care information services and project management, we feel he can make a real contribution in terms of addressing our clients� needs through a solution-based approach that focuses on standardized approaches to implementation and systems integration.� Mr. Marshalek will oversee MEDecision�s Client Operations and manage ongoing projects with a specific emphasis on client service.
