NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
Informatics Corporation of America (ICA; www.icainformatics.com), providing
clinicians with a single technology solution for accessing, evaluating, and
acting upon patient information across disparate systems, recently appointed
John Tempesco to vice president of Client Services, effective December 8, 2008.
The move expands Tempesco`s responsibilities involving the implementation and
support of the ICA solution as former director of client services to include
marketing functions - from overall branding and positioning within the market
space to Web content and sales support. 

"John brings 34 years of healthcare experience, including 18 years of experience
in health information technology in both the civilian and government sectors,"
says Gary Zegiestowsky, CEO of ICA. "Prior to his impressive civilian career as
a pioneer in HIT implementation, he completed a career in the United States Navy
as a healthcare administrator, where he was instrumental in the development and
implementation of the Department of Defense`s Tricare program." 

Before joining ICA in February of 2008, Tempesco served as vice president of
operations for the Practice Management, Electronic Medical Records, and Revenue
Cycle Management product lines of HealthPort. Previously, he was national
director of Support Services for Companion Technologies and vice president of
Marketing and Sales for Companion Information Management Resource. 

"I feel privileged to work with a company like ICA because, as an HIT leader, it
offers the kind of cutting-edge technology that brings seamless access to
clinical data and allows smoother clinical workflow," Tempesco says. "At this
crucial time in our nation`s history, the adoption of the ICA solution could
bring positive and sustainable change to our ailing health care system." 

In addition to his exceptional marketing expertise, Tempesco`s responsibilities
will encompass overall implementation of new clients, including the transition
from sales to the operational implementation process, expectation setting, goal
setting, and project management, as well as scheduling, integration planning,
and training of clients for the "go-live" process. 

Tempesco holds a Bachelor of Science in Business from Lock Haven University and
a Master`s in Health Administration from Baylor University. He is a Fellow in
the Life Management Institute, a certified managed care executive, and a
diplomat in the American College of Health Care Executives.
