Mason joins ChartWise from MedeAnalytics Inc. where, as senior vice president and general manager of enterprise performance management solutions, he was responsible for integrating, managing and growing the Mede Performance Management business unit within the broader MedeAnalytics portfolio. Prior to MedeAnalytics, Mason was the co-founder and CEO of OnFocus Healthcare, which was acquired by MedeAnalytics in 2014.

“ChartWise is second to none in terms of their CACDI software technology,” Mason said. “The company is well-regarded within the industry and has been recognized as a KLAS CDI category winner three years in a row for continuously raising the bar and advancing the technology hospitals and medical centers rely on for accurate coding, documentation and reimbursement. I look forward to hitting the ground running as we take ChartWise to the next level of growth and product leadership,” Mason said.
