In this capacity, Anderson will oversee the implementation of the company's eICU® program.

"His leadership will help us deliver our eICU program to hospitals with efficiency and top-notch service. Additionally, his hospital and healthcare administration experience - not to mention his clinical background - make him an ideal point of contact with hospital management, clinical staff and technology partners."

Most recently, Anderson was vice president of hospitalist practice operations for Inpatient Management, Inc., a private hospitalist company, where he managed physician practices in multiple hospitals throughout 12 states. Before that, Anderson served as interim chief nursing executive and director of neurosciences, orthopedic and rehabilitation services for St. Anthony's Medical Center in St. Louis. Other career highlights include executive director of the Sutter East Bay Neuroscience Center - where he provided overall leadership and implementation of programs and services for a newly formed service line - and director of patient care and program director for neuroscience at Southeast Missouri Hospital, as well as program development specialist for Mid-America Transplant Services. Anderson began his career at DePaul Health Center, serving as a staff nurse in critical care and nursing supervisor. He holds a master's of health administration from the University of Missouri, Columbia; a bachelor's degree in nursing from Webster University in St. Louis; and a nursing diploma from St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis.
