Brightsquid is pleased to welcome Michael Gormley to our board of directors. An Economist, Mr. Gormley brings four decades of experience working in leadership to support improvements to the healthcare system. His contributions to the field of medical organization and raising the standard of healthcare delivery in Canada have been recognized with the highest honour given to non-medical professionals by the Canadian Medical Association.
For almost 30 years, Michael held leadership positions at the Alberta Medical Association (AMA), with 21 years as Executive Director.
At the AMA, he maintained close working relationships with multiple levels of government, Alberta Health Services, and other healthcare professions in the interest of advancing patient experience and outcomes. In particular, his involvement in creating Alberta’s Primary Care Networks and supporting the adoption of Electronic Medical Records helped improve health system outcomes.
With experience in strategic planning, project oversight, negotiation, and data management at three provincial medical associations (BC, ON, AB), Michael understands the Canadian healthcare landscape. His insight into the overlap between physician needs and system improvements will help Brightsquid further support efficiencies in Canadian healthcare.
Michael’s leadership and expertise will accelerate Brightsquid’s continued development of software and services that simplify healthcare operations. As more and more regional and provincial health authorities adopt Secure-Mail and other Brightsquid services, Michael’s experience will support smooth implementation and help ensure optimal benefit for providers and patients.
