Cognitive Medical Systems

was founded in 2010 by Mary Lacroix to pursue her passion for improving healthcare using innovative technologies and thoughtful workflow re-engineering. As a former Chief Information Officer for Naval Medical Center, San Diego, the Government’s largest Military Treatment Facility, Mary spearheaded the development of a Corporate climate that evaluated, selected, and adopted information technologies

to effectively improve patient care and healthcare quality. After leaving the military, she recognized the opportunity to positively affect the larger medical community as it struggles to invest wisely in technologies that are standards-based, cost-effective, and ultimately lead to meaningful improvements in patient outcomes, satisfaction, and family–centered care.
