Our story starts with truth

Our company name was born from the Latin “veritas,” meaning “truth.” So whether we’re working with physician practices, complex health systems, not-for-profit medical centers or Level 1 Trauma centers, truth serves as a guiding light for all the decisions we make. We believe truth and accuracy are the two principles that enable quality patient care and the highest level of protection, and so we’ve let those values inform our decisions at every point within our organization.

Our expertise may lie in ROI, but our experience is human to the core. Learn more about what makes us a different kind of disclosure management company.
