Fox Business Report
Connell McShane Interview with HHS CEO Stan Vashovsky
November 24, 2008
TRANSCRIPT:
McShane The health care industry has been growing in a lot of ways. About eighty billion
baby boomers are getting ready to retire. The demographics are good. One company looking to
become a bigger player in that industry is Health Systems Solutions and they say theyre taking
advantage of these conditions and were gonna learn some more about it with the CEO, Stan
Vashovsky, whos with us this morning. Good to see you Stan. Thanks for coming in. We
appreciate it. So this is a health care technology company, to give us an example of what
types of technology you guys work in.
Vashovsky Sure Connell. Health Systems Solutions predominantly focuses in two very rapid
areas of development: one is in home care, telehealth, and second is in PACS, Picture Archiving
and Communications Systems.
McShane What are those exactly?
Vashovsky So basically when you take images from health care devices such as MRI, CAT
scans, ultrasound. You take those images; you have to store them. Well we store that
information. We also communicate that information throughout the entire health care system.
McShane Alright...
Vashovsky So, to that, we take those images and make them into a 3-D, so physicians, and
their patients, can better understand what they are looking at.
McShane Well the technology seems to be growing for obvious reasons. People want to get
off... use less paper... for example which has been a huge problem in doctors offices in
recent years. So you save money and you invest in it that way. From what I understand you
guys have been growing a number of ways. Youre growing in-house with some of the products
youre developing. Youre also growing through acquisitions. I read about a couple of recent
acquisitions youve made. Whats the environment out there right now look like for buying other
companies.
Vashovsky Well the environment is actually good. Lots of companies have been devalued due
to the current economical condition. Really puts us in a great situation. Were well
capitalized through our partners, Stanford Financial Group. Were taking advantage of the
current market conditions, looking at bargains, seeking out good quality, leading companies and
proceeding with our acquisition strategy.
McShane We can see there this is a publicly traded company. Very small market cap but
publicly traded. They are under ticker HSSO, which were looking at there. You say youre
taking advantage of strategic opportunities. So you have the access... I guess... the point
is... get access to credit, you can make acquisitions at bargain basement prices. At least
thats your strategy. Has credit been a problem for you at all.
Vashovsky Credit for us has not been a problem. We have a major shareholder, Stanford
Financial Group, an organization thats very well capitalized that has not been affected by the
current market conditions. Theyre very excited about our space. They believe in Health
Systems Solutions, and they continue to make investments and help us fund our acquisition
strategy.
McShane All right. Thank you, Stan, for coming. And youll make more acquisitions?
Vashovsky Absolutely, looking forward to it.
McShane Very interesting to be aggressive in that space. Stan Vashovsky is the CEO of
Health Systems Solutions. Thanks for joining us.
