Company Overview

Supporting Best Practice Care
Our founding story

Think Research’s journey began when our founder and former president Dr. Chris O’Connor identified a fundamental challenge facing clinicians: handwritten, unstructured text orders for ICU patients were time-consuming and error-prone and impacting the speed and quality of care delivered to patients.

Inspired by checklists used in the airline industry, he realized that evolving ordering processes into digital checklists would improve efficiency, adoption of best practices, care quality, and patient outcomes. Order Sets were a resounding success and led to the founding of Think Research in 2006.
