(DSS, Inc.), a leading provider of health information technology (HIT) solutions for federal, private and public healthcare organizations, today announced that Dr. John M.

“DSS has a long history of providing cutting-edge health IT solutions, and I look forward to advancing Juno Health into new and dynamic places,” said Dr. Ciccone. “We have a tremendous opportunity to bring fragmented care and innovation into a singular focus where health data truly puts the patient at the center of care.”

This new commercial division is comprised of Juno RxTracker, Juno EHR, and Juno Emergency Services Solution (JESS).

“Dr. Ciccone is the ideal healthcare leader who both understands the value that health IT can offer, and has a vision for how solutions can enhance the patient journey, while also reducing overall provider burden,” said Mark Byers, President of DSS, Inc. “We are excited to have him on the team.
