Preston Morris

President/Owner

CEO/COO/CFO/BMOC/OMG/and other stuff

In 2006, Preston purchased the company formerly known as Commonwealth Clinical Systems.  Almost immediately he restructured the company’s product offering, infrastructure, and equipment.  Working with his team and a staff of contract workers he lead the effort to re-write a large, proprietary piece of client software.  Preston spared no expense in bringing his visions to fruition hiring one of the most respected user interface engineering firms in the country to design the user interaction making it simple, efficient and attractive.  The result is one of the first web based data management solutions in the health data industry.

His leadership has catapulted System13 to the forefront of the data capture industry.  Preston's wealth of experience in strategic planning and execution has enabled the company to bring in new business, promote revenue, profitability, and growth.  He is a hands-on administrator that oversees operations and financial performance.  As a former Network Administrator, he has both the knowledge and skill set to slice through the detail, see the big picture, and provide the competitive edge.

In addition to his work on current projects, Preston also spearheads System13 Labs, a new development effort to advance the company’s mission.  As a life long resident of central Virginia, he is a well known and respected community leader with involvement in organizations such as the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA.

The rest of us are like, ... Dude!  Enough already.  Jeepers, come up for Air!

John Coogan

Senior Data Analyst

John has been with System13 for over 20 years. His original task was to create a distributed claim-correction software solution for 800 facilities back in the days of UB92 data processing. His expertise was instrumental during our transition from UB92 to 837-EDI processing as we migrated to our proprietary claim structures. He wrote and maintains several of our 837 parsing utilities and converters. John authored our in-house and distributed help desk systems, and contributes layouts and video work to our website. Our Tennessee data processing is currently done mostly by John, and he is also responsible for creating quarterly deliverables for over 1200 Texas facilities and the THCIC State Agency.

 

John loves to double space after every period ... just to drive the younger guys nuts, for real!

The newest dad on the team and Charlottesville native, who is the newest learner. Scottie got his coding skills from a boot camp but got his interpersonal skills naturally. supports Tennessee primarily but loves to dip into other projects as needed. He has experience with Python and, Javascript frameworks and looks to add that experience to the team.

 

When Scottie is not asking Mel coding questions you can usually find him watching Survivor with Lynn, or listening to music with John.
