Earlier this month, Redstone principal and founder Tom Merrill received word that the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the University of Utah School of Medicine wished for Redstone to join their industry advisory board (IAB). Redstone accepted and now joins 30-plus other companies representing the breadth and depth of Utah’s healthcare landscape—including 3M Health Information Systems (Senthil Nachimuthu, MD, PhD; Lee Min Lau, MD, PhD), ARUP (Brian Jackson, MD, MS), Cambia Grove (Elisabeth Nebeker), Collective Medical (Chris Klomp, MBA), Health Catalyst (Jason Jones; Eric Denna), and Intermountain Healthcare (Sid Thornton, PhD).
Redstone’s commitment to America’s successful transition to value-based healthcare is deeply tied to bioinformatics specifically and to health IT more generally. Meaningful data—clear and actionable—is critical to both achieving and assessing value. As a member of the IAB at DBMI, Redstone is grateful for the opportunity to serve the very students who will be instrumental in moving America’s healthcare systems forward.
