Greenway Health CEO Tee Green revealed on Wednesday that he is handing the chief executive role at the EHR company he co-founded over to Scott Zimmerman.

Green will continue full-time as executive chairman, according to the company, including a focus on innovation as the company is working to transform itself from an electronic health record and practice management vendor into a population health and revenue cycle specialist.

Before taking the helm of Greenway, Zimmerman was president of Televox, which provides patient engagement communications tools.

Zimmerman also has worked at Boston Scientific, GE Healthcare and Merck during his career.

“It’s a privilege to be working alongside the Greenway Health team to support caregivers in this time of change,” Zimmerman said in a statement. “It’s exciting to be a part of an organization working to deliver the technology, people and processes that can impact the clinical excellence and financial success of our customers. I am looking forward to doing everything I can to help further that mission.”

Zimmerman’s appointment marks the second C-level announcement in recent months. In December 2015, Greenway named Robert Ellis as its new chief financial officer. Ellis came from Vista Equity Partners, where he was a managing director.
