Mystikal Solutions, LLC. Balance of Experience in the Business and Practice of Healthcare IT Keeps the Contract Wins and Positive Moments Coming (as profiled in the January 2010 Issue of Forbes Magazine Click here for the article)

The Obama administration’s emphasis on health information technology led a trade publication to declare: “War on talent about to begin in healthcare IT.” One healthcare IT company appears to have a leg up in the battle to attract the type of talent in highest demand. Mystikal Solutions, LLC has grown from two employees in 2005 to 88 in four years. Twenty-four were hired between July and October 2009 alone.

Ricky White, founder and CEO of the San Antonio-based services and technology solutions provider, is able to recruit despite some very high, self-imposed standards. “Because we focus on healthcare IT, we look for those with additional capabilities. Most of our staff, from C level down, have significant backgrounds in healthcare administration, and 45 percent of our staff are retired military or former military.”

For clients, including the nation’s largest non-profit HMO, numerous Department of Defense healthcare-related installations, commercial hospital systems, and others in seven states, Mystikal Solutions brings comprehensive solutions to IT needs across all phases of the business lifecycle. For the complete story, see the following attached PDF.

Prior to his current responsibilities, Michael spent a 21 year military career serving in various leadership levels and in wide range of healthcare operations, management and executive positions within both the Air Force and Navy Medicine. Upon retirement and over the last nine years he has served as Chief Executive Officer of both large and small proprietary owned and non-profit hospitals which he successfully lead; executing on strategies focused on quality of care, service delivery, constituency satisfaction, physician recruitment, retention and relations, cost and growth, staff retention and community satisfaction.

Ricky White, CEO of Mystikal Solutions, LLC, stated that “Michael was selected to create and lead the new Health Care Operations Business Unit based on his record of leading complex organizations, as well as his proven executive and personal qualities.” “Michael came to our attention because of his strong operational and execution skills, his proven ability to lead high performance teams and his track record in driving value to the organizations he works with. He consistently demonstrated these skills through the financial turnarounds in each of the previous Medical Facilities he lead while supporting the multiple stakeholders and numerous service lines in the operationally challenged environment of Health Care. We were impressed by his emphasis on developing talent, in depth understanding of vendor and partner relations, and his understanding of the role of culture in our company’s success. His straightforward style and passion are energizing and just what we were looking for,” continued White.

“Mystikal’s growth has been demonstrative of our leadership and ability to execute on our vision and mission and we as a company have always had transitioning from a strictly Government Services focused organization into an corporation that can support the needs of the commercial, private and public sectors as well. The addition of Michael to our executive management team, combined with other recent hires and acquisitions has us at the point where we are now armed with the talent and the leadership that it will take to rocket us to that next level”, said White.
