Robert H. Miller, Ph.D., is Professor of Health Economics in the Institute for Health & Aging, University of California San Francisco (UCSF). He received his doctorate in economics from the University of Michigan in 1987, and has been a UCSF faculty member since 1989.
Dr. Miller conducts research on economic, organizational, and health policy issues affecting health information technology (HIT) use, with a focus on electronic health records (EHRs), chronic disease management systems, and regional health information organizations. Dr. Miller is especially interested in the financing and use of clinical information systems for quality improvement in community health centers, public hospitals, and solo/small groups.
Dr. Miller is Principal Investigator for projects analyzing factors affecting rapid EHR use for quality improvement in community health center networks (for The Commonwealth Fund) and analyzing barriers to financing clinical information systems in California health care delivery system organizations (for the Governor's Health Information Technology Financing Advisory Commission, California Department of Health and Human Services).
Dr. Miller was lead author on articles on the demise of the Santa Barbara RHIO (Health Affairs 2007), the value of EHRs in community health centers (Health Affairs 2007), the value of EHRs in solo or small groups (Health Affairs 2005), barriers to EHRs in ambulatory care (Health Affairs 2004), and on physician use of information technology (Journal of Health Information Management 2004). In past work, Dr. Miller published literature analyses comparing HMO versus non-HMO plan performance, as well as other analyses on the effects of managed care on physician organizations and on long-term care for the elderly.
Dr. Miller is a member of the Investment Advisory Committee for the United Health Group California Health Care Investment Program, and of the Technical Expert Panel for the Commonwealth Fund project on Transforming Safety Net Clinics into Patient-Centered Medical Homes; he was a member of the HIT Advisory Panel to the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and of the Connecting for Health Working Group on the Economic, Legal, and Organizational Sustainability of EHRs and Electronic Data Exchange.
He is a consultant to several research projects, including the Mathematica Policy Research evaluation of the Medicare Care Management Performance demonstration, and to National Opinion Research Corporation assessment of community health centers networks providing information systems support for CHC members.
