Transform Your Healthcare Technology Vision into Reality

Healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges in aligning technology investments with clinical excellence and operational efficiency. With the unique perspective of a physician-CIO, Asbury HealthTech Partners delivers strategic IT planning and executive coaching that bridges the gap between clinical needs and technology capabilities.

Our Strategic Approach

Physician-Led Technology Strategy

Drawing from Dr. Milligan's dual expertise as both a practicing physician and seasoned healthcare IT executive, we understand the intricate balance between clinical workflows and technology implementation. This unique perspective ensures your IT strategy supports, rather than disrupts, patient care delivery.

Data-Driven Decision Making

We leverage industry benchmarks, best practices, and real-world case studies to inform strategic recommendations. Our approach combines quantitative analysis with qualitative insights from frontline clinicians to create comprehensive technology roadmaps that deliver measurable ROI.
