CliniComp’s Veteran CEO is Winning a Young Person’s Game

Most health software companies are fairly young. Not CliniComp. Founded in 1983, it’s a mature company through and through–and Chris Haudenschild has been driving the train the whole time.
Even after four decades, Haudenschild and CliniComp are anything but set in their ways. From the pre-World Wide Web era to the early days of the internet to today’s AI-powered networks, CliniComp has remained on the cutting edge of medical records technology. In February, it unveiled Intrinsic AI, a transformative native AI capability built into its System as a Service electronic health record Solution Suite–technology that was unthinkable when Haundeschild first started laying down CliniComp’s tracks.
The company grew quickly after Haudenschild founded it in La Jolla, California, to optimize medical information systems and improve the efficiency and quality of clinical charting in hospitals. Within four years, CliniComp was installing the largest clinical information system in the world at the time and the first Department of Defense (DoD) site. Within 10 years, the company was unanimously selected as the first and sole provider of inpatient clinical information systems for all DoD Military Health Services Facilities in the National Capital Region.
Now, with Intrinsic AI, the company is leading the way once more. Intrinsic AI was internally developed and helps companies with native integration, a clinician-centric design, streamlined workflows, and a holistic impact. Noting that companies “shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to leverage AI,” Haudenschild said CliniComp’s product provides “immediate value while maintaining complete ownership and control.”
As someone who’s maintained ownership and control of his company since Ronald Reagan’s first term, Haudenschild is easy to believe–and he’s not going anywhere.
