Technology/Business and Policy Perspectives Speakers

William Mohlenbrock, M.D.
Founder and Chairman, Crossflo Systems Inc.

Dr. Mohlenbrock has combined entrepreneurialism with a successful orthopedic surgery practice for more than 25 years at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California. He has also served as assistant clinical professor at the University of California, San Diego since 1973. In 1983, Dr. Mohlenbrock founded Iameter Medical and developed the Acuity Index Method, a clinical information system for monitoring and improving quality and cost-efficient inpatient care. Virtually all aspects of clinical practice, including transportable electronic health records and emergency preparedness software depend on secure information sharing among many disparate systems. Dr. Mohlenbrock therefore founded Crossflo Systems in 2002 to develop a technology that could overcome the complexities, expense and disruption of traditional systems integration technologies. Data sharing challenges are not unique to medicine and other industries have benefited from Crossflo’s technology, which it now markets to a wide range of healthcare and government organizations.

Dr. Mohlenbrock received his BS degree from the University of Illinois and his MD from the St. Louis University School of Medicine. He is a member of the American Medical Association and holds fellowships in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, American College of Surgeons and the American College of Physician Executives. He is also a noted international lecturer and has published numerous articles on measuring and improving the quality and cost efficiency of medical care.
