My name is Craig Bishop. I have a BA in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MS in Healthcare Administration from Texas Tech University.
I live in Lubbock, Texas. My family and I moved here so I could attend grad school at TTU, and we're finding it a good place to live. I am married, and have 4 kids in home school. I work from home as well, so there is always something happening in our house.
I started my career working as an IT consultant before focusing on Healthcare IT beginning in 2012. I have worked with large healthcare organizations and medical centers before being introduced to the InterSystems platform almost 4 years ago. My current role is a Senior Consultant with J2 Interactive where I have worked for the past 3 years. My main area of focus is working with HIEs and interfacing with distributed healthcare locations to improve patient experience.
I have worked with several EHR software applications, so one of my areas of expertise is interfacing with a wide variety of EHRs. I would say InterSystems and Oracle Health are the 2 largest platforms I have worked with, and I am excited to learn something new with InterSystems everyday. I enjoy being in a consultant situation and having the opportunity to explain technical details to non-technical personnel.
Fun facts about me: I like to tent camp and hike with my family. We love to get out in nature and spend the day exploring the country-side. My family also is very active in our church. The rest of my time is spent with my family playing board games or going to parks.
