ResMed announces executive changes for new subsidiary Brightree

ResMed has announced a series of executive changes to Brightree, the durable medical equipment, home health and hospice software company it recently acquired.

Brightree has selected Matt Mellott as its new chief executive officer and Bobby Ghoshal as its chief operating officer, with current Brightree president and chief executive Dave Cormack to transition into a multi-year advisory role.

Mr Mellott is a health medical equipment industry veteran and joins Brightree following more than a decade at MedBridge Healthcare, a multi-state sleep diagnostic and respiratory therapy provider.

Raj Sodhi, president of healthcare informatics at ResMed, said the new leaders "will continue moving Brightree forward, expanding on the company's leadership in business management and clinical software applications for the post-acute care industry".

Mr Cormack's tenure as president and chief executive began in 2005 and has agreed to stay on in an advisory role to ensure a smooth transition to the new leadership team.

ResMed acquired Brightree in April 2016. Following this takeover, Brightree will continue to operate as a separate entity, managed independently from its Atlanta headquarters.
