Dr. Miller is a Board-certified anatomic and clinical pathologist with extensive experience in the development, implementation, and operation of laboratory, pathology and clinical information systems.  Dr. Miller's  interests are in the use of Web tools for client-server computer applications in health care and integration of heterogeneous clinical systems, secure communication of confidential patient data, and techniques for implementing text-only Web servers on legacy computer systems. Specific applications in pathology include laboratory test ordering and reporting, image management for teaching, clinical consultation and teleconferencing, and search strategies for large databases.

As Director of the Pathology Data Systems, Dr. Miller oversees the development and functioning of PDS at Johns Hopkins, a comprehensive laboratory information system (LIS) operated by the Department of Pathology that serves all areas of anatomic and clinical pathology at Johns Hopkins.  PDS consists of LIS support that includes surgical pathology, cytopathology, and autopsy coverage.   PDS has an integrated Oracle repository with real-time link for test result archiving and ad hoc queries, integrated secure web servers for patient data reporting, and extensive network connectivity to the Johns Hopkins EPR system, along with connectivity to other clinical and administrative systems.
