Our Growing Quadax Family

By: Marketing/Communications Manager

At Quadax, our greatest asset is our staff of incredibly talented, hard-working individuals; the success and growth we continue to experience is a direct result of their efforts. As we invest in the resources necessary to offer superior service to our expanding client base, our Quadax family is growing and maturing. 

New to the team…

Quadax is pleased to welcome Patrick Coury to our EDI Services organization as a Sales Executive. Patrick brings with him more than fourteen years of healthcare experience, including office administration and patient billing, and he is affiliated with the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) and the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). Patrick makes his home in the Pittsburgh area and looks forward to introducing Xpeditor to hospitals and other healthcare groups throughout Pennsylvania. Patrick says that he's "excited to introduce such a unique service model to Pennsylvania," and then goes on to say, "I'm especially enthusiastic to be part of the Quadax team that is known for their responsive, 'roll-up-the-sleeves' style of customer support." Welcome to the team, Patrick!

Now in an expanded role…

In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), in the Final Security Rule [ 164.308(a)(2) ], Quadax is pleased to announce that Gene Calai, our Director of Information Services, has also assumed the role of Quadax HIPAA Security Official, with responsibility for the ongoing management of information security policies, procedures, and technical systems in order to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all organizational healthcare information systems, including all applications that contain electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). 

Gene, Vice President and Partner, joined Quadax in 1984. He provides leadership to an organization of 30 systems professionals: the groups of programmer/analysts responsible for the development and maintenance of all proprietary software products as well as Data Communications and Operations. 

Newly promoted…

We are very pleased to announce that Mark Sprowls, Philip Conard and Trevor Myer have each been promoted to the position of Vice President.

Since joining Quadax, all three of these individuals have provided Quadax with extraordinary effort, significant contributions, and exemplary work ethic. Each, in his own way, has provided Quadax staff members with significant leadership. 

Mark Sprowls is responsible for Computer Operations, HARP development and production, the ASP portal, and our internal Customer Relationship Management system. A graduate of Mount Union College, Mark has been with Quadax since 1988. He was the lead analyst/programmer on the HARP 2.0 redesign, and is currently involved with the migration of HARP to HP-UX and the next generation of HARP. 

Philip Conard came to Quadax in February of 1993 after graduating from Mount Union College with a BS in Computer Science. While at Quadax, Phil has occupied many key roles within Quadax's Systems department. These roles are highlighted in the titles of “Manager of HARP Development” and “IT Director of Business Services.” As of late, Phil occupied the position of General Manager of Business Services. Within the new role of Vice President of Business Services, Phil will strive to bring quality comprehensive Enterprise Content Management solutions to current and future Quadax clientele. In this effort, Phil will maintain client and vendor relationships, be instrumental in sales activity, and direct future product/solutions development.

Trevor Myer is the architect and lead developer of Xpeditor, the EDI transaction management system in use by hospitals and other healthcare organizations throughout the region. Trevor, a graduate of Mount Union College, joined Quadax in 1992. Trevor leads a team of programmer/analysts dedicated to the development and support of all PC-based EDI products. 

We applaud the contributions of these three individuals and offer them our best wishes for continued achievement and success as they assume their new titles and expanded roles at Quadax.
