HBI Solutions Inc., a strategic partner to MHDC and to healthcare organizations worldwide, delivers actionable information that helps providers reduce patient health risks, improve care quality, and lower the cost of care. HBI Solutions was founded in 2011 by Karl Sylvester, a pediatric surgeon; Bruce Ling, a Ph.D. data scientist; and Eric Widen, a seasoned healthcare IT business executive—all of whom worked together at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. The three shared a vision of improving health and reducing the cost of care. With the help of veteran health IT executive Frank Stearns, HBI built data models that could predict poor health outcomes before they happened, tested them in various care settings, and vetted them in multiple research studies.
