SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
DR Systems, the leading independent provider of automated medical image and
information management solutions, today announced the hiring of a new Vice
President of Sales & Marketing and a new Director of Cardiology Programs. 

Ryan Yamatani, the new Vice President of Sales & Marketing, was formerly a
senior healthcare leader at EMC Corporation, a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 provider
of information infrastructure systems, software and services. An original member
of EMC`s healthcare organization, Yamatani has held various positions managing
EMC`s western region and U.S. national healthcare sales execution teams since
1999. 

Yamatani`s most recent role at EMC included responsibility for defining and
ensuring the go-to-market field strategy for PACS, HIS, and general IT business
functions. Prior to that, Yamatani was at Data General Corporation for 13 years.
His responsibilities there encompassed direct sales, sales management, and
business development. He joined EMC when the company acquired Data General. 

"Ryan has successfully managed PACS sales and marketing for the leading
information infrastructure supplier in U.S. healthcare, and we`re proud to have
him as a key member our executive team," said Rick Porritt, President and CEO of
DR Systems. "As the PACS marketplace continues to evolve, he will lend crucial
insights and experience to DR Systems` continued expansion." 

John Conklin has joined DR Systems as its Director of Cardiology Programs after
a 12-year career in cardiology solutions with Camtronics Medical Systems and
subsequently Emageon, which acquired Camtronics in 2005. 

For Camtronics, Conklin helped develop the healthcare industry`s first
commercially available cardiology-specific PACS solution. In the mid-2000s, he
directed product development efforts that helped Camtronics earn top rankings
from the MD Buyline and KLAS® ratings services for their flagship cardiology
solution. 

In 2007, Conklin was appointed Director, Technical Solutions. His specific
responsibilities included providing technical consultation and support of
product sales, sales operations, and clarifying customer needs as a basis for
developing new products and features. 

At DR Systems, Conklin brings his industry knowledge and an array of
market-leading product experiences from internal operations to customer focused
aspects in order to oversee and further guide efforts of the company`s scalable
cardiology solution. DR System`s cardiology product can be implemented either as
a departmental workflow toolset or as part of a truly unified and comprehensive
image and information management solution for the enterprise.
