Tyson McDowell, CEO of Benchmark Revenue Management, Joins ABL

Santa Ana, CA — March 1, 2011 — Tyson McDowell, CEO and Co-Founder of Benchmark Revenue Management, has joined the Adaptive Business Leaders Organization (ABL). As part of California’s leading vertical-industry Chief Executives’ Organization, ABL Members provide one another with executive leadership coaching through its confidential, professionally-facilitated, peer-CEO Advisory Board Round Tables, executive learning workshops, network of CEO peers, and expert resources.

Benchmark Revenue Management is a leading web-based revenue cycle technology provider that helps hospitals become more efficient and more effective. Benchmark FrontOffice provides online, web-based workflow management and demographic data validation for hospital pre-registration activities, including insurance verification, benefit validation, patient demographic collection, authorization, pre-certification and referral management. Benchmark FrontOffice also keeps track of often-neglected tasks such as responding to patient calls and coordinating activities with financial counseling staff. Benchmark BackOffice addresses complete receivables management processes. And with Enterprise Reporting Suite, Benchmark provides a comprehensive reporting interface that couples financial and productivity analytics with Benchmark’s extensive data core allowing clients to generate reports, with just a few clicks, that are not possible with any other solution.

Tyson co-founded Benchmark in 2001 to bring the latest in web technologies to bear in healthcare administration. He is the architect and initial developer of Benchmark's generic technology platform designed to overlay and rapidly integrate with any hospital IS infrastructure. His experience with creating and implementing solutions with Benchmark's partner since 2004, Navigant Consulting (NYSE:NCI), has given him unique insight into the realities of today's healthcare administration environment and the opportunity to truly match the cutting-edge of technology to the needs of healthcare.

Tyson is a repeat entrepreneur focused on leveraging the Internet for true interoperability, scalability, and rapid application development. He founded his first company, 4th Dimension Graphics, at 14 years old, developing commercial websites for the newly emerging world of e-commerce. He devised ground-breaking approaches to enabling some of the first Internet "shopping carts" and his websites won acclaim for their level of innovation. On graduating high school, Tyson became CTO and partner of CamZone Networks, an Internet streaming video company that delivered high-performance real-time streaming images of beaches for surfers, airports for pilots, and the most popular video stream of that time period, the San Diego Zoo Panda Cam.

An accomplished pilot, Tyson flies both fixed and rotor-wing aircraft, including his own Russian Fighter Jet.

About the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization
ABL supports the needs of its Member CEOs by providing a place for top-level executives to draw on the experience, knowledge and skill sets of their peers in a vertical industry, personal advisory board – “multi-coach approach” – setting.

The core component of the CEO Membership experience is the group Round Table meeting. Members meet once a month for a half-day with a group of peer CEOs, Presidents, COOs and Division General Managers from non-competing companies, all from the same industry (healthcare, technology or life sciences), in a trusted and confidential board room-like setting, which allows ABL Members to tackle topics and enhance their decision making and business performance. Topics include: developing and honing new business strategies and best practices, new lines of business, “A-players” on the management team, and an effective board of directors, as well as understanding trends in new markets, mergers and acquisitions, compensation, and other “hot” topics brought to the Round Tables by the Members themselves.

ABL Members also gather several times a year at workshops and conferences to exchange ideas and connect with other chief executives beyond their own CEO peer groups. In effect, ABL Members serve as one another’s business coaches within the Round Tables and are encouraged to connect and leverage their co-Member peers’ particular skills and expertise for additional leadership coaching, one-on-one, outside of their monthly group meeting. In addition, each Round Table’s facilitator also serves as an objective business advisor, offering executive and industry insights and advice.

 ABL's Chief Executive Leadership Development Round Table program is currently offered in California's Greater Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco County areas. More information about the ABL Organization can be found at http://www.abl.org .
