He is also associate director of the Health Systems Institute where he helps identify, create and manage research and industry partnership opportunities.

After receiving a BS from MIT in 1969, an MD from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in 1974, and completing an internship at Washington University, Braunstein joined the faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy at MUSC where he developed an early fully functional ambulatory electronic medical record system and the first reported system for the clinical management of ambulatory pharmacies.

In 1978, Braunstein co-founded PROHECA to commercialize the pharmacy system. National Data Corporation (NDC) acquired the company in 1981, and Braunstein ran the NDC Healthcare Division and was the company’s president and COO until he left in 1990 to co-found Patient Care Technologies (PtCT). PtCT, a provider of electronic patient record and tele-health systems to the home care industry, graduated from Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), was a 1998 Inc 500 company, and was acquired by MEDITECH in 2007
