US healthcare data analytics and benchmarking firm Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) has appointed analytics industry veteran Alex Kormushoff as President.

SHP uses a dynamic dashboard that integrates healthcare related data from various sources, to enable clients to compare their current and past performance.
