| Introduction | For over 10 years, Mr. Dickson has been involved with technology and behavioral health care in some way shape or form. In the late 1990's, Mr. Dickson worked as a children's case manager in Washington. Thad went on to work in the technology and software industry, but never lost his interest or passion for the field of behavioral health care. Mr. Dickson subsequently spent 6 years on the board for a behavioral health organization serving on a variety of committees and ending his six year tenure as board chair. Thad is co-founder and partner at Xpio, a technology and consulting firm founded in 2002. Thad works within the field of behavioral health care informatics and technology, focusing on the architecture, procurement, and implementation of enterprise EHR software systems. Mr. Dickson graduated from The Evergreen State College, went on to receive a Project Management Institute PMP certification, holds several MCTS certifications, and is a Certified Professional in Health Information Management Systems (CPHIMS). |
| Interests | It's no accident that my blog picture has me standing on a mountain. If you're planning on implementing an EHR / EMR project, it will feel much like you're climbing one too. On some days, it will feel like Everest, and on others, a comparitively small cascade peak; although for those who have climbed any of the active cascades, I'm sure you can appreciate it takes a bit of work. It takes practice too, and training, and sometimes you don't make it up the first time. Is it worth it when you do? You bet. Like anything worth doing, it takes some effort. A journey of a thousand miles (or ten thousand feet) starts with one step. |
