She is also actively involved in HIPAA workgroups, charged with defining consent and transaction standards.
Prior to HealthEC, Sita was co-founder and CIO of IGI Health, a provider of IT solutions and BPO services. There, she built the Med-Link clearinghouse that allowed provider organizations working with any billing system to capture and convert data into discrete data formats for claims adjudication. Sita further designed the foundation for custom and packaged healthcare portal solutions, including the payer-provider portal, clinical exchange and the personal health record. She has also provided consulting services for numerous multi-national healthcare companies including United Healthcare, Siemens Medical Systems and Johnson & Johnson healthcare. Sita began her data scientist career in the aeronautics sector in the mid-1980s. She was part of an engineering team that programmed the navigational backup system for the U.S. Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. She also converted raw satellite telemetry data that was fed to the first UNIX database for satellite monitoring via Microsoft tools. For a NASA project, she interpreted encrypted satellite data to prevent spacecraft communication failure.
