Laureen's knowledge will allow us to pinpoint crucial clinical and business requirements, which we'll then be able to add to our software as detailed technical specifications. We view Laureen's addition to our management team as a step forward in our commitment to becoming the leading company in real-time clinical information processing software. Her expertise will be instrumental in perfecting the important functions of Quality Surveillance, Clinical Research, and Clinical Documentation Integrity, all of which are features of our state of the art real-time acting medical informatics suite," said CEO and Hiteks Co-founder Dr. Gerry Petratos.

"The increasing demand from our clients for precision in CDI, quality surveillance and decision support has led us to look for top talent for further product innovation. Our objective was to optimize support for our development team so that they could improve their effectiveness in functioning as a cohesive team. With over 20 years of experience working with FDA regulated software, we believe that Laureen has precisely the level of expertise we need to reach the objective of producing effective and responsible medical software. We're confident that her contribution to Hiteks will strengthen our compliance with HIPAA and FDA regulations on medical software, which is one of our top priorities, as we believe in exercising the utmost security when it comes to protecting business processes and technical architecture for PHI and other sensitive information," continued Petratos.
