Health IT in San Diego: The Xconomy List

It might not be completely definitive, but it’s pretty close. Let’s just say we’ve got the most-definitive list of health IT companies based in the San Diego area, compiled form a variety of trade groups and other sources. Not all of the businesses on this list are well known, which is one reason why I decided to compile the list.

In collecting the names of health IT companies, I decided against including most of the medical device companies, engineering consulting firms, and others that have not focused their core business more or less entirely on health IT. I also decided against including SAIC, the government contractor. SAIC has been a longtime health IT information systems integrator and EMR system developer, and there’s tremendous expertise there. But SAIC’s headquarters is no longer based in San Diego.

So here’s my list of health IT companies that are based in the San Diego area. Such lists may never be complete, but if you know of a company that you think should be on the list, drop me a line with the pertinent details. Or if you want to say hello, you can stop by the Xconomy Forum on Health IT tomorrow evening. (More information is available online here, and there’s still time to register.)

In Memoriam: Our dear friend Bruce V. Bigelow passed away on June 29, 2018. He was the editor of Xconomy San Diego from 2008 to 2018. Read more about his life and work here. Bruce Bigelow joined Xconomy from the business desk of the San Diego Union-Tribune. He was a member of the team of reporters who were awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting for uncovering bribes paid to San Diego Republican Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham in exchange for special legislation earmarks. He also shared a 2006 award for enterprise reporting from the Society of Business Editors and Writers for “In Harm’s Way,” an article about the extraordinary casualty rate among employees working in Iraq for San Diego’s Titan Corp. He has written extensively about the 2002 corporate accounting scandal at software goliath Peregrine Systems. He also was a Gerald Loeb Award finalist and National Headline Award winner for “The Toymaker,” a 14-part chronicle of a San Diego start-up company. He takes special satisfaction, though, that the series was included in the library for nonfiction narrative journalism at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. Bigelow graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1977 with a degree in English Literature and from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1979. Before joining the Union-Tribune in 1990, he worked for the Associated Press in Los Angeles and The Kansas City Times.
