AUSTIN, TEXAS – ESO Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare software and interoperability solutions, announced the hiring of Matthew Lopez as a Director of Business Development for its Health Data Exchange (HDE) product line.
Lopez joins the growing ESO HDE team to help encourage the growth of HDE, build partner relationships, and expand the customer base.
“Matt’s experience driving system improvement makes him a fit for ESO,” stated Allen Johnson, Vice President of ESO HDE. “His career reflects the HDE business development vision – bridging the gap between EMS and hospital care to support improved patient outcomes and population health.”
ESO Health Data Exchange, a NEMSIS 3 compliant product, is revolutionizing the healthcare profession by giving EMS agencies access to much-needed clinical outcome and billing data while allowing hospitals to access prehospital data in any format they require. HDE’s vendor-agnostic design allows any EMS or hospital system, once connected to the HDE platform, to collaborate with any other connected agency, hospital, or other part of a healthcare network.
“ESO builds and strengthens relationships between EMS and hospitals while also encouraging shared patient data,” said Lopez. “In order to improve patient care, EMS and hospitals must align goals and grow together. ESO supports that process by connecting organizations across the healthcare space,” he said. “I’m eager to join a like-minded, motivated team of people who are making a positive impact on improving patient health.”
Lopez brings to the team years of leadership experience in public safety and healthcare. He has held positions as Lieutenant of the Bay County (Fla.) Fire Services Division, EMS Coordinator for Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center, and most recently as EMS Specialist at HCA North Florida Division. While at HCA, he led specialized teams designing and implementing multiple projects, including volume growth and clinical quality initiatives. Lopez holds a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from Texas A&M and Master of Science Degree in Safety, Security, and Emergency Management from Eastern Kentucky University.
Lopez joins colleagues Chris French and Brad Cottrell as new members of the expanding ESO HDE Business Development team.
