TruBridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBRG), a healthcare solutions company, today announced that Merideth Wilson has joined the Company as the new Financial Health General Manager. Financial Health is one of TruBridge’s two primary business units and includes Revenue Cycle Management (“RCM”) technology and services for the acute and ambulatory settings and accounts for approximately 65 percent of the Company’s revenue with over 2,000 employees.
Wilson joins TruBridge with 25 years of healthcare technology leadership experience, including 20 years with Experian, where she most recently served as Executive Vice President and General Manager, Experian Employer Services. In this role, she was responsible for driving strategic, financial and operational objectives for a newly formed business unit with a focus on margin growth. Prior to this, she served as Chief Operations Officer of Experian Health. In her previous position as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Revenue Cycle Solutions, she had responsibility for approximately $235 million in annual revenue and led the Experian Health initiative to offshore 50 percent of the outsourcing team, creating substantial cost savings and providing a base to expand future outsource offerings.
Wilson has an MBA from the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business & Economics at Mercer University and a BBA, Business Administration, Management, General from Baylor University.
Commenting on the announcement, Chris Fowler, president and chief executive officer of TruBridge, Inc., stated, “We are delighted to have Merideth Wilson join TruBridge in this important senior leadership role. She is an accomplished healthcare technology executive with extensive experience driving RCM technology solutions and services and brings valuable insight for executing a global workforce strategy. She is uniquely qualified to lead Financial Health as we continue to capitalize on the growing demand for innovative RCM solutions and extend our market reach into the acute and ambulatory markets.
“This addition to our senior leadership team aligns with the consolidation of our diverse portfolio of solutions earlier this year and elevates the two primary business units, providing the respective leaders with greater autonomy and responsibility to achieve our goals and vision. We are fortunate to have two accomplished General Managers, with Merideth Wilson now leading Financial Health and 20-year industry veteran David Harse, who joined us from Cerner two years ago, continuing to lead the Patient Care business unit, which includes our electronic healthcare record (EHR) and patient engagement product offerings. We are confident both David and Merideth have the right industry knowledge and a proven ability to drive transformational business growth and achieve our objectives. Together, we look forward to the opportunities ahead for TruBridge as we pursue a strategy that supports more community healthcare providers and creates value for our shareholders,” added Fowler.
