Even in 1991, Ron, Mark, and Joe Byers recognized that health care’s dependence on paper records was unsustainable. Our founders envisioned a future where digital records, accessible through computers, would revolutionize the industry – empowering providers, improving efficiency, and enhancing patient safety. Today, Mark Byers leads as president and CEO of DSS.

Learn MoreHistory and Corporate Values
1991
Three brothers in a Colorado basement bring their vision for the future of healthcare technology to life.
1994
DSS is contracted by the West Palm Beach division of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Three years later, Florida VA sought a technology solution to digitize mountains of paperwork. DSS delivered. This groundbreaking collaboration led to our company’s flagship product offering: electronic documentation software integrated seamlessly into VA’s open-source electronic health record (EHR), VistA or Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture – the EHR system for managing patient records, clinical operations, and administrative tasks within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA.)
1998 – present
From six employees to more than 600 employees.
For over 20 years, DSS has experienced significant growth, expanding its presence with offices across the country. We take pride in employing Veterans and a diverse team of highly skilled health care and business professionals – including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and industry experts.
