Peter Goltra, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Medicomp Systems

Peter Goltra
Founder and Chairman Emeritus

Peter Goltra is the founder of Medicomp Systems. An electrical engineer with a passion for improving healthcare delivery, Goltra has been a visionary in the field of medical informatics for more than 30 years and a driving force in the convergence of medicine and technology.

Goltra’s vision has always been to improve medical care by giving doctors a comprehensive system that enables them to electronically review and update medical records without compromising time with patients. By collaborating with physicians from Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and the Department of Defense, Goltra continuously expands and refines the company’s technology-based offerings to match the evolving and real-world needs of clinicians.

Goltra is the original architect and engineer of Medicomp’s clinical knowledge engine that is embedded in leading EHR systems. By using this powerful knowledge engine, physicians worldwide can share and update patient files. A resource of this caliber has the power to speed delivery of care, decrease prescription errors, reduce redundant lab tests, and eliminate medical inaccuracies resulting from lack of access to patients’ records.

Dave Lareau, President and CEO of Medicomp Systems

David Lareau
President and Chief Executive Officer

As President and Chief Executive Officer of Medicomp, David Lareau draws on decades of experience in healthcare IT and a longstanding passion for evolving EHR technology to empower clinicians and improve care. He joined Medicomp in 1995 and has responsibility for overall operations and product management, including customer relations and marketing.

Since joining the company, Lareau has spearheaded its transition from an EHR developer to middleware vendor that helped EHR vendors solve their platforms’ usability challenges. Since that time, with Meaningful Use and other governmental and payer requirements for quality tracking and reporting, Medicomp’s tools have become increasingly valuable for clinical users.

Lareau started his career as a CPA and later became a reseller for a leading medical billing solution. When a client at a private physician practice associated with Johns Hopkins asked Lareau for help in finding an EHR, he spent several months arranging demos with leading vendors before the physicians told him he was wasting their time. None of the EHRs were useful for them because they weren’t designed to work or think like a clinician, but instead were engineered to facilitate billing.

It took another two years before Lareau came across a solution that impressed the physicians. Peter Goltra, the founder of Medicomp, showed the Johns Hopkins physicians a technology that provided all the relevant information for a clinical problem or diagnosis with a single click. Lareau immediately realized that Medicomp’s technology was a game changer — and eventually joined the company.

Dr. Jay Anders, CMO of Medicomp Systems

Jay Anders, M.D.
Chief Medical Officer

As Chief Medical Officer of Medicomp Systems, Dr. Anders supports product development, serving as a representative and voice for the physician and healthcare community. He is a fervent advocate for finding ways to make technology an enabler for clinicians—rather than a hindrance.

Dr. Anders spearheads Medicomp’s knowledge base team and clinical advisory board, working closely with doctors and nurses to ensure that all Medicomp products are developed based on user needs and preferences to enhance usability. As the host of a popular, award-winning HealthcareNOW Radio podcast, “Tell Me Where IT Hurts,” Dr. Anders has discussed the topics of physician burnout, EHR clinical usability, healthcare data interoperability, and the evolving role of technology in healthcare with a variety of industry experts and pundits.

Prior to joining Medicomp, Dr. Anders served as Chief Medical Officer for McKesson Business Performance Services, where he was responsible for supporting development of clinical information systems for the organization. He was also instrumental in leading the first integration of Medicomp’s Quippe Physician Documentation into an EHR.

Dr. Anders started his career as a physician in a large, multi-specialty practice where he experienced first-hand the challenges of inefficient health IT systems and the often devastating impacts of clinician burnout. After 16 years as a practicing internal medicine physician, department chair, clinic president, and medical director, Dr. Anders left private practice to focus his energy and expertise on the role of technology in facilitating better patient outcomes and reducing physician burnout.
