Christopher Harding appointed as President and CEO  Concordant to address unprecedented growth for EHR services

Concordant, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare IT services, announced that Christopher Harding has been appointed by the Board of Directors to the position of the President and CEO. As Senior Vice President of Field Operations for the past year, Harding drove the company’s revenue by 35 percent and positioned Concordant to serve the electronic health record (EHR) market now poised for unprecedented growth.

Concordant has been focused on Ambulatory Healthcare IT since its inception ten years ago, emerging as one of the leading implementers of Ambulatory EHR in the US, with over 2400 physician practices implemented to date. The firm has developed a full range of proven EHR implementation solutions from strategic planning for EHR deployments and ongoing support to provide a complete solution for the Ambulatory market.

“Concordant has a head start and therefore is uniquely positioned for the coming wave of EHR adoption”, said Chris Harding, newly appointed President and CEO. “While others have focused on in patient HIT, we’ve focused on how to bring effective IT solutions to the historically underserved ambulatory market, where 80 percent of care is delivered. Concordant has worked hard to achieve the right balance of people, process and technology with cost-effective solutions and our clients value the results. I have been privileged in my career to work with companies experiencing fast growth, which will be applied to this phenomenal, unprecedented market opportunity. I am honored to be leading our efforts and look forward to working with our valued Clients such as Caritas Christi, Continuum Health Partners and Blue Cross of Massachusetts today and into the future.”

Prior to joining Concordant in 2008, Harding can be characterized as a serial entrepreneur with a long history of successes. Harding integrated multiple acquisitions to grow the revenue of professional services firm Palladium, an innovator of Balanced Scorecard™ solutions from $47 million to $82 million in three years as Senior Vice President. Prior to Palladium, Harding co-founded CXO Systems which was acquired by Cisco Systems. Earlier he ramped the annual revenues of Cambridge Technology Partners beyond $650 million and co-founded Breakaway Solutions as SVP of Field Operations. At Breakaway, Harding grew the business from a startup of 50 employees to a public company employing more than 1,200 professionals and over $100 million in revenue.
