The Healthcare Supply Chain Association (HSCA) today announced that it has named veteran supply chain executive Curt Miller as Executive Director of the organization’s Committee for Healthcare eStandards (CHeS). Miller previously served as Chief Information Officer for Amerinet, Inc., where for ten years he was responsible for the company’s information systems strategy, application development, network infrastructure, data management, and unified communications.
“For over 30 years Curt Miller has been at the forefront of innovation and improvement for group purchasing organizations, advancing healthcare e-standards that are improving the entire industry by opening up the ways manufacturers, providers, and patients communicate with one another,” said HSCA President and CEO Todd Ebert, R.Ph. “Curt Miller’s expertise and proven record make him the ideal leader for CHeS and for moving the entire healthcare industry toward a more interconnected and efficient supply chain – ultimately improving provider operations and patient care.”
“Adoption of comprehensive healthcare e-standards will make device, provider, and patient data accessible and interoperable across systems – enabling use and sharing of information to help providers, manufacturers and distributors operate efficiently and make critical care decisions with the full spectrum of information,” said Curt Miller. “Working with CHeS as its Executive Director is a natural continuation of my previous efforts to help improve the healthcare supply chain. I’m excited for the opportunity to work with leaders across the industry to advance e-standards.”
CHeS is a leading force in the healthcare industry’s efforts to improve accuracy, efficiency, and safety through the application of electronic standards in the healthcare supply chain. The committee’s guiding vision is to accelerate the adoption, implementation, and active usage of industry-wide data standards for improving efficiencies throughout the healthcare supply chain.
