Tina Ortiz

Fusing 22 years of technical, clinical and functional expertise garnered from working with federal and civilian healthcare organizations, Tina Ortiz specializes in strategic business development for tiag clients.  Her strengths in operational planning, marketing and communications help redefine business practices that best serve customers, while providing improved future capabilities, optimizing resources, and increasing business for clients in the healthcare information management industry.

Tina joins tiag after recently retiring as Commanding Officer of Navy Medicine Information Systems Support Activity (NAVMISSA), where she was the first woman to command an IM/IT organization supporting Navy Medicine’s information systems worldwide.   Her sterling reputation for delivering quality products and services on time and within budget provided a foundation to develop NAVMISSA into the Navy’s premier organization for its IM/IT needs.

“NAVMISSA started as a four person office in San Antonio in 2008 and I developed it into an effective and efficient 300-member command serving the comprehensive IM/IT needs of Navy Medicine’s 50,000 users—including 7,000 providers and 90 military treatment facilities and clinics. My tools of choice were strategic planning, financial analysis, budgeting, hard work, and stick-to-itiveness” she says.

"My team at NAVMISSA knew that I cared about them—just as tiag leadership cares about its own team, and demonstrates equal concern for the clients we serve and products we deliver. That’s a way of doing business that focuses on the right things."~ Tina Ortiz

Previously, as executive officer at Naval Medical Information Management Center in Bethesda, Tina directed all administrative and organizational functions of the command. Additionally, she, built collaborative relationships with triservice agencies, commands, and vendors, and oversaw the $66M IM/IT budget. Tina served as director of Programs and Integration in the office of CIO for Bureau Medicine and Surgery and directed integration of such programs as the electronic medical record, theater medical record, surgical scheduler, environmental health/industrial health record, and telemedicine. As program manager of AHLTA for Navy Medicine, she oversaw deployment of the outpatient electronic medical record to 90 military treatment facilities and clinics, and was instrumental in initial planning for dental electronic medical record and beta testing for the vision application.

In addition to DoD experience in IMIT policy, planning, operations, marketing, and the development, expansion and acquisition of IM/IT facilities, Tina is a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Serving as the primary care provider for more than 1,200 patients with more than 5,000 patient visits per year, Ortiz was the first Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner to be selected in the Navy as faculty for the Pediatric Residency Program.  “Having the Clinical expertise as well as the technical understanding enables me to better serve our clients, because I am able to address their functional and technical requirements as an integrated whole”.
