Resilient Trust Networks announced today the addition of two executives to its management team. Dr. Eric Haseltine (formerly CTO of the national intelligence community and EVP of Disney Imagineering) is joining as Chief Scientist. Dr. Grant Bagley (Director of Coverage and Analysis for Medicare, Assistant Attorney General of Utah) is joining as Chief Medical and Policy Officer.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 9, 2008 -- Resilient Trust Networks announced today the addition of two executives to the Resilient management team; Dr. Eric Haseltine as Chief Scientist, and Dr. Grant Bagley as Chief Medical and Policy Officer.

Dr. Eric Haseltine joins Resilient Trust Networks as Chief Scientist. Eric was the Associate Director of National Intelligence for Science and Technology (the CTO for the entire national intelligence community) until last October, and before that was the Director of Research at the NSA. Prior to that he was EVP and COO of Disney Imagineering where he was in charge of all R&D for Walt Disney Corporation. While there he worked closely with some of the brightest minds in the software industry - among them Alan Kay and Danny Hillis - incubating new technologies for mass consumer markets and on-line gaming and communities.

"Eric's unique background gives him a deep understanding of the challenges of enforcing disparate security, privacy and rights management policies while sharing and analyzing highly sensitive information across many different organizations and individuals," said Jonathan Hare, CEO of Resilient Trust Networks.

"I was attracted to Resilient Trust Networks because it represents a breakthrough in the historical Achilles heel of all security systems… key management," said Dr. Eric Haseltine, Chief Scientist of Resilient Trust Networks and former Associate Director of National Intelligence for Science and Technology.

Grant Bagley, MD, JD, will be Chief Medical and Policy Officer for Resilient Trust Networks. Dr. Bagley brings nearly 30 years of experience in the healthcare field and a deep and sophisticated understanding of healthcare policy issues and regulatory programs.

Prior to joining Resilient, Dr. Bagley was a partner at Arnold & Porter for nine years, with a practice focused on health care regulatory and reimbursement matters for public and private agencies, payers, providers, and others. He is the former Director of the Coverage and Analysis Group in the Health Care Financing Administration's Office of Clinical Standards and Quality. CMS is the federal agency that administers the Medicare, Medicaid, and Child Health Insurance Programs, thereby providing health insurance for over 74 million Americans.

While at CMS, Dr. Bagley directed the clinical and scientific determination of Medicare coverage policy and the assessment of new technology. Dr. Bagley previously held positions as a Medical Officer at CMS and was a Medical Officer in the Office of the Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Bagley served as Assistant Attorney General for the state of Utah, where he remains licensed to practice both law and medicine.

"Grant brings a wealth of clinical, legal and healthcare industry expertise," said Jonathan Hare. "He has been a pioneer in advancing new business models and introducing innovative technologies to drive improved affordability and better health care for all. We are excited to have such well-respected industry veteran's join us."

"The long standing problem that has so far has been insurmountable in the medical field is the inability to achieve meaningful electronic records and data exchange" said Dr. Grant Bagley. "The competing needs of privacy, accuracy, and rapid access have proven to be nearly impossible to reconcile. I believe that Resilient Networks has developed the solution which meets all of these needs and will make electronic data interchange an integral part of all aspects of the health care system. I have worked towards this goal for many years and have joined Resilient to be part of the team that ushers in this new era."
