Excel Medical Promotes IT Executive to Senior Vice President

Excel Medical, an innovator in medical device integration (MDI) and analytics, has appointed Jason Dvorak as senior vice president of corporate development. In this newly created role, Dvorak joins Excel Medical’s leadership team to develop strategic alliances and partnerships, create broader industry relationships, and expand the company’s geographic presence.
 
Jason’s experience includes two decades of sales and senior management positions in the healthcare IT market. Jason will leverage his extensive sales experience, industry expertise and partnership knowledge to forge growth-oriented partnerships. His career started in healthcare sales where he consistently ranked as one of the top sales representatives in the United States.
 
“Excel Medical’s vision is to continually innovate and challenge the status quo across the medical device industry,” said Lance Burton, president of Excel Medical. “This focus is fueling our growth by aligning our company with the right strategic partners and establishing our thought leadership position. Jason is a proven healthcare leader who shares our passion to drive results towards improving our healthcare systems, clinicians and the patients they serve. His ability to expand our partnership opportunities and support the sales and marketing teams is a natural progression for him and our company.”
 
Prior to joining Excel Medical, Dvorak served in executive leadership roles and built strategic relationships with companies including Epic, McKesson, GE, IBM, HP, and EMC.

Dvorak commented, “There is a renaissance happening right now in medical device integration where organizations are no longer accepting a single patient data point into a flowsheet. With the advent of mobility platforms like Epic’s Haiku, Canto, and Rover apps, clinicians want a complete patient picture—on demand and in real-time. Excel Medical is leading the charge in making streaming physiological data available to improve the quality of patient care and greater job satisfaction.”
 
Dvorak earned a bachelor of science degree in consumer affairs-business from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He also has extensive corporate strategy and leadership coursework from the University of Chicago School of Business.
