As SVP of Development and Strategy and former VP of Client Services, Sega played an integral role in the creation of value-based reimbursement opportunities for pharmacies. He led the expansion of hosted measures on the EQuIPP® platform to include NCQA and outcomes-based measures, in addition to PQA-developed measures.
"I am incredibly proud of Todd's leadership in directing the company's strategy and accomplishments," said Jeff Newell. "Todd is the right person to lead PQS' future vision given his proven ability to create solutions that produce results, and frankly, his deep commitment to our customers and people. I can look forward to retirement knowing that I am leaving the company in Todd's leadership."
