Imprivata taps Aaron Miri as its new chief information officer
Aaron Miri, who most recently served as chief information officer at Dallas-based Walnut Hill Medical Center, has taken a job as CIO at Imprivata, the healthcare security company.
As CIO, Miri helped guide Walnut Hill – called "The Hospital Steve Jobs Would have Built" by Forbes – to Stage 6 on the HIMSS EMR Adoption Model. At Imprivata, he'll be responsible for the development and implementation of the company's strategic IT initiatives. He'll also serve as a thought leader on behalf of the company, helping promote policies that support cybersecurity and interoperability, officials said.
