Samuel Scott
MBA
Prior to establishing HealthTech Solutions, Sam Scott was Vice President and Government Relations Executive for Lockheed Martin Washington Operations, focused on developing product and service offerings in the expanding health information technology and services, digital health education, simulation and training, and logistics markets within the Federal Government.
Scott brings over 25 years of broad technical and managerial health experience to the SyTrue advisory board and his corporate clients that span both commercial and government, medical device and solutions product manufacturing and development, health services, consulting and information technology. Scott has held senior management positions of increasing levels of operational and functional responsibility with several industry leading health companies, including Lockheed Martin, ACS, KSR Consulting, Scott Medical Group, LLC, Fresenius Medical Care AG, W. R. Grace, Medical Imaging Centers of America and Baxter International Inc.
Since joining Lockheed Martin in 2003, Scott had served as Lockheed Martin Information Technology Vice President of Business Strategy & Consulting, Vice President of Healthcare Solutions, Vice President and Customer Relations Executive for Healthcare, Vice President Government Relations for Healthcare Programs and Services, and Vice President and Government Relations Executive for Health Education, Stimulation, Training and Logistics before leaving the corporation to establish HealthTech Solutions, LLC.
Scott earned his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and Applied Sciences from Harvard College and received his Master’s in management training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management.
"As the former VP and Government Relations Executive Washington Operations for healthcare at Lockheed Martin focused on developing product and service offering in health information technology within the Federal Government, I have encountered a number of natural language processing solutions that convert free text data into structured, computable information and high precision search capability, while resolving ambiguous geo-location information. SyTrue fuses all these capabilities into a unique platform that can be used to drive clinical and financial decision support, revenue cycle management, patient clinical outcomes, patient compliance and adherence.
When Kyle (Silvestro) first provided me a demonstration of SyTrue’s capability, I could immediately see the applications benefits that could be made possible within the Federal government and asked how I could support SyTrue’s rollout in this market. One potential area for application is within DOD/VA clinical data management and exchange and defense health programs. SyTrue’s technology provides the capability and unique opportunity to significantly impact and aid in the rehabilitation, care and treatment outcomes of our warfighters and veterans impacted by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Using clinical data in real time, tied to longitudinal records that can be profiled and correlated, SyTrue can enhance care providers in delivering the most appropriate treatments by assessing treatment strategies and rapidly incorporating new clinical guidelines. SyTrue has the ability to change the way big clinical data repositories are viewed and used going forward in the industry not just from a retrospective but prospective point of view, enhancing clinical predictive analytics support and capability for improved patient outcomes and health and wellness maintenance.” - Samuel Scott
