About The Rowan Report
Past
Tim Rowan founded Rowan Consulting Associates, Inc. in 1998 after he served five years as CIO of a large Colorado home healthcare agency. Reluctant to leave the healthcare sector he had grown to love, Tim partnered with the leading home health technology consultant of the time and purchased “Home Care Automation Report” from its founding publisher.
Over the next ten years, HCAR became the most authoritative and respected technology news source in home healthcare. Following the untimely passing of his mentor and business partner in 2009, Tim carried on their mission to gather, deliver, and interpret news about home care technology, regulations, marketing, clinical tools, and other critical issues, now under the name “Home Care Technology Report.” When the industry began using “The Rowan Report” as a shorthand nickname, we eventually gave in and relaunched HCTR as “Healthcare at Home: The Rowan Report” to reflect the changes in the industry and to encompass a broader range of topics.
Present
In October, 2023, Tim handed over the reigns of The Rowan Report to his daughter, Kristin. Kristin is the owner of Girard Marketing Group and served as Director of Marketing for The Rowan Report for 15 years before buying the newsletter in 2023. The Rowan Report has once again changed with the times and adopted the term “Care at Home” to encompass all medical, IV transfusion, non-medical supportive care, and all other home-based care for the aging population. Tim assumed the title Editor Emeritus and continues to write occasionally for The Rowan Report as he moves toward retirement. Tim and Kristin are both available for speaking engagements at state and national conventions and meetings as well as consulting on technology adoption for your agency.
