SAL NOVIN, Chief Executive Officer

   Sal Novin is a specialist in efficiency and productivity techniques using information technology and software automation tools. With 10 years of experience in this specialty, his focus has been in the health care industry since 1999. His mission is to transfer techniques and lessons learned in other industries to health care to ultimately reduce costs.

   Mr. Novin’s knowledge of productivity and efficiency is rooted soundly through his academic background – a Bachelor of Science from the University of Western Ontario in Bio-Physics with a focus on Statistics. Out of academia, his career began in Pulp and Paper and Telecommunications, two industries with established methods of realizing profitability and competitive advantage through improved productivity and efficiency. In particular, Mr. Novin participated in projects focusing on software process automation and data mining. The most significant of which were a Waste Paper Management System, a Customer Churn Database, a Call Center Workflow Automation Tool and an Outstanding Accounts Analysis system. His accomplishments further extend to entirely process-centric enhancements, such as FTD.com where his website quality control initiative reduced error rates during site launches from 28% to less than 2% over a 5 month period.

   In 1999, after realizing the relative infancy of productivity and efficiency processes in the health care industry, Mr. Novin made health care his singular focus. In the past 5 years, Mr. Novin’s notable accomplishments include developing an end-to-end process analysis document for a Tennessee Managed Care Insurer, an EDI File Management System, and an Automated Claims Processing Application. These projects have resulted in savings of over $10 million respectively for several health insurers.
