Altos Solutions was formed from the team that founded Vital Software, the first oncology-specific EMR solution. Their products – OncoFlow, OncoStation and OncoManager were introduced at the Scripps Cancer Conference, La Jolla, CA in January 1994.

The goal of Altos Solutions is to deliver high quality, always available, web-based EMR systems that are comprehensive, easy to use and, most of all, inexpensive. Based on this objective and relying on over 10 years of market experience, Altos Solutions created OncoEMR. which accommodates the complexities of large clinics while catering to the minimum requirements of a single physician practice.

At Vital, Mr. Willey co-invented the first oncology treatment plan generator, which is still in wide use today. Willey sold Vital to Eclipsys Corp (NASDAQ: ECLP) in 1999 to move into the enterprise business software market and became the number-3 executive at Talus Solutions which he successfully sold in 2001 for $384M.

Mr. Willey has raised venture capital money on multiple occasions and has lead companies through five M&A events, each time delivering at least 5X returns to his investors.

Mr. Willey is passionate about medical software and believes there is an unmet need for an Oncology EMR that is priced affordably for small practices. He founded Altos Solutions to address that need.
