• Position: Influential Leaders

Amy Rees Anderson has a vision for MediConnect Global--to be die leader in advancing global health-care transformation. Since 1996, MediConnect has been creating a legacy of technological innovation. In the beginning, its focus was primarily on medical record retrieval. When Anderson came on board as CEO in 2004, she saw a much bigger vision--one that included digitizing the largest repository of usable medical data found anywhere in the world and making that information available to every healthcare provider and every patient.

Today, that vision has become a reality. MediConnect Global hosts the largest repository of digitized medical records (approaching ten million strong) for secure access and exchange via the Internet, making medical records available at any time, from anywhere, to any authorized requestor. In addition, MediConnect holds the U.S. patent for delivering protected health information via the Web, securing its position as the leader in advancing global healthcare transformation.

"The key to MediConnect s success has been to assemble a team of incredible people with outstanding talent, who uphold the highest levels of integrity and work hard to accomplish a purpose that is meaningful for each one of us," says Anderson.

MediConnect's purpose is clearly understood through-out the organization:
