Merge Healthcare bolsters leadership team

By Jim Butman

Merge Healthcare Inc., a West Allis-based health IT solutions provider, announced today that it has added two former Allscripts executives to its senior leadership team.

Steve Brewer will serve as executive vice president of product solutions and will have responsibility for the company's solution strategy, marketing and business development teams.

Steve Martin joins as senior vice president of sales and will lead all of Merge's global sales efforts.

Both Brewer and Martin joined Allscripts in 2007 through Allscripts' acquisition of ECIN, a web-based Care Management provider. They both served on the ECIN management team, along with current Merge chief executive officer Jeff Surges, who was the CEO of ECIN for the nine years prior to the acquisition by Allscripts.

"I've known and worked with both Steve Brewer and Steve Martin for most of the last 20 years," Surges said. "I'm thrilled to add them to the great team we already have in place here at Merge."

"It was clear to me that Merge is uniquely positioned to be the dominant force as image interoperability plays an increasingly meaningful role as hospitals and physicians seek to leverage their electronic health record investments," Brewer said. "I'm very pleased to be joining Merge at such a pivotal time."
