LISA LECHOWICZ
CEO & Founder
Prior to founding HDM in 1996, Lisa Lechowicz served as Senior Vice President of claims and customer service for the Health Care Business Operations at Mutual of Omaha Companies. In that position, Lisa supervised a staff of more than 1,200 and managed a $60 million budget.
Lisa has extensive experience in both health care and information technology. Lisa began her career as a Systems Consultant, Systems Analyst and then a Project Leader. Lisa served on the Corporate Quality Improvement Team and chaired the Quality Improvement Team for the Group Operation at Mutual of Omaha.

Lisa served on the WEDI (Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange) Board from 1991-1993, when the EDI vision for healthcare was developed under then Secretary of State Louis Sullivan. Lisa developed Mutual’s first EDI Strategic Plan and implemented EDI for the Company’s health care operations; moving the Company from 20% electronic to over 60% electronic. In working through the issues in implementing EDI, Lisa saw the need (and opportunity) to assist small to mid-size payers and providers with the deployment of technology in health care. HDM was born.
