“Terry’s diverse technical and IT background makes him uniquely qualified at seeing the big picture and proactively resolving challenges,” said McCrae. “His outstanding leadership skills, management abilities and keen understanding of the complexity of the U.S. market—as evidenced by successfully building two health IT companies—make him a great choice to lead Orion Health’s U.S. team and serve our U.S. customers.”
“It is no secret the U.S. healthcare system is going through monumental changes, particularly the shift from fee-for-service care to value-based care,” said Macaleer. “Value-based care leads directly to population health management and to precision medicine with a huge requirement for data analytics. That is precisely the strategic direction of Orion Health, with many of the pieces already in place. Being a global company that can bring health systems insights from across the globe—where value-based care already exists—positions Orion Health extremely well in the U.S. market.”
Macaleer takes over the reins from Wayne Oxenham, the current president of Orion Health U.S., who held the role for 18 months on a fixed-term basis. Oxenham will be relocating back to Orion Health’s corporate headquarters in Auckland.
