Mitochon Systems’ CEO, Andre Vovan, MD, Joins ABL Organization

Santa Ana, CA — August 31, 2010 — Andre Vovan, MD, President and CEO of Mitochon Systems, 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.

Mitochon Systems creates zero-cost virtual medical communities that enable integrated heath information delivery among independent physician practices and their patients. The company provides a free electronic medical record, mEMR, that is guaranteed to meet HHS certification. It’s an ad-supported system that was built by physicians, for physicians. Mitochon’s mConnect is a Health Information Exchange that helps physicians connect and share patient data regardless of what EMR system they are using. Mitochon also offers an ePrescribe Solution, in collaboration with H2H.

The Mitochon Virtual Medical Community™ (VMC) is the net result of the empowering connectivity and enabling the exchange of information between physicians, patients and hospitals. It’s a platform and an environment where information can flow easily and inexpensively from physician to physician, physician to patient, and from patient to physician. Mitochon offers physicians and their patients an entry point into the VMC through the deployment of mConnect and mEMR. Once in, physicians can engage and connect, electronically sharing patient history with authorized physicians (inpatient or outpatient) or healthcare organizations, reducing life-threatening errors and increasing efficiency.

Andre has been President and CEO of Mitochon since 2006. Since 2001, he has also been President and an Intensivist at Newport Critical Care, where he specializes in the care of complex and severely ill adults. In addition, he has served as Director of the Critical Care Department at Hoag Hospital since 2001.

Andre earned his BS degree in Biology from UC Irvine in 1991, his MD from UC San Diego’s School of Medicine in 1995, and his MBA from UCI’s Paul Merage School of Business in 2007.
 

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 .
