OZ Systems is a Texas-based health innovation technology company that develops and implements information technology platforms primarily focused on newborn screening.
History
[edit]OZ Systems was founded in 1996 in Arlington, Texas by Dr. Ken Pool and Dr. Terese Finitzo, to build an integrated technology system that measures, tracks, analyzes and reports hospital data.[1][2][3] In 2000, OZ Systems was awarded a statewide contract for Texas Newborn Hearing Screening.[4][5] In 2013, OZ Systems developed their OZ Telepathy technology for CCHD screening that captures information directly from pulse oximeters to improve interpretive accuracy.[6] Since then, OZ Systems has partnered with Iowa and Minnesota to provide integrated Newborn Screening Information Systems for both states.[7][6] In 2014, The Newborn Foundation awarded OZ Systems CEO Dr. Terese Finitzo the EVE Innovation Award for achievements in newborn screening, policy and technology.[8] In 2015, OZ Systems partnered with JPS Health Network on their newborn screening practice.[9]
