The Principals - Medical data experts
The principals and medical data experts of Denniston Data have together founded and built multiple enterprises in the healthcare field. Each of the companies founded by the same principals grew to be leaders in their field. They were all recognized for their success and eventually merged into multi-billion-dollar health information companies. They included:
- MDR (Medical Device Register), merged into Thomson Reuters/Medical Economics
- Physicians GenRx (Data Pharmaceutica/Physician Online), merged into Times Mirror/Mosby
- ODG (Official Disability Guidelines), merged into Hearst Health/MCG
Our team includes medical data experts, software engineers, and web designers. In the current environment operations are decentralized, with team members working out of multiple states, most of them being in Texas, California, and New York.
