MedeAnalytics Appoints Tyler Downs as Chief Technology Officer to Bring Healthcare Analytics Platform to Next Level of Innovation

"Tyler is a strong addition to our executive team," said Paul Kaiser, chief executive officer of MedeAnalytics. "As a respected leader in the industry with a proven record of success, Tyler will ensure that MedeAnalytics is bringing our valued clients advanced solutions which help them meet the demands of the ever-evolving healthcare environment. As the technical evangelist for the company, Tyler will lead our team of engineers and developers to create innovative analytics solutions that help payers and providers focus on what matters most – improving patient care."

As MedeAnalytics' CTO, Downs will oversee teams responsible for technology architecture, software development, technology operations and infrastructure management. He will also drive the company's mission to create a scalable, SaaS-based client-centric platform with related services and products.

"MedeAnalytics is already a leader in healthcare analytics; to take our platform to the next level, we want to offer our customers the ability to create actionable insight, benchmark against norms, predict trends and drive workflow improvement," said Downs. "By combining our current ability to coalesce data with Machine Learning, along with user guided analysis, we can then automate and track process improvements through our Enterprise Performance Management solution. Further, we will be extending our platform as a service offering to inject additional algorithms, data sets and visualizations that our customers and partners can leverage. I'm eager to jump in and lead a technical team that pushes what can be done to help our clients improve patient care."

Most recently, Downs served as Vice President of Development for Trizetto Provider solutions (now Cognizant). Prior to that, Downs was an engineer at Microsoft/Skype where he was responsible for leading an analytics team that delivered tools for processing millions of events per second and petabytes of data per day all in real-time. He also served as the Chief Architect at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America where he was responsible for the clinical and revenue cycle systems and hospital operations. As an engineer, Downs holds multiple patents in clinical and big data systems from both Allscripts and Microsoft.
