DCS Health to Join Forces with Family Health Network
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Family Health Network, Inc., an RTP technology company creating Web tools to connect patients with caregivers, announced today a transaction that brings Family Health Network new proprietary technologies and talented leadership.
DCS Health, founded by former BellSouth chief strategist Doug Bulleit, will transfer patent rights and key personnel to Family Health Network. Mr. Bulleit will join Family Health Network in a senior product and planning role.
An Atlanta-based company, DCS Health is comprised of leading network executives organized in 2006 to develop new Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) portals and search technologies using proprietary Health over Internet Protocols (HoIP). The work of DCS Health can be seen at www.dcshealth.com.
Bulleit and the DCS Health technologies join Family Heath Network as the company positions itself to become a major player in the rapidly developing Aging in Place marketplace. Family Health Network's Connected For Life(SM) is an innovative technology platform allowing family and professional caregivers to be linked to seniors who may have not previously engaged with technology.
"Key technologies developed and patented by DCS Health are extraordinarily complementary to Family Health Network's Connected For Life(SM) platform," said Harry Bailes, CEO Family Health Network. "The experience and insight gained from this acquisition, including the multiple relationships and insight into consumer driven healthcare, will rapidly accelerate our market position," Bailes adds. "And the combination of proprietary technology as well as engineering, entrepreneurial and leadership experience that we will be acquiring will drive progress on multiple fronts."
The promise of Family Health Network's Connected For Life(SM) has been recognized through the National Institute of Health award of a grant that supports research into senior use of Web-based tools. In addition, the technology combines both social and clinical approaches to care that are applicable to a broader healthcare marketplace.
Its "patient engagement engine" is being used in an innovative project involving an extended care team including case manager, pharmacist and physician who come together to provide coordinated care in a new drug therapy program for hepatitis C. Family Health Network's platform was also featured in three grant applications for funding under the CMS Healthcare Innovation Challenge.
About Doug Bulleit: At BellSouth, Bulleit focused primarily on core growth initiatives. In particular, his work resulted in a material expansion of BellSouth's convergent digital networking, broadband/IP, electronic commerce and Managed Services positions. Prior to his corporate strategy tenure, he spent six years as President of BellSouth's Advanced Networks Group developing an assortment of enhanced network services.

Family Health Network's Connected for Life SM online program enables health care providers and caregivers to remotely monitor, record, and track a patient's health status and medication use on a daily basis.
