Michael Huard is a principal and director of IT for CMH Health. Michael oversees the IT operations for over 20 Milliman practices and seven office locations. He joined Milliman in 2007, and has over 15 years of experience with IT Operations, Infrastructure, and Security.
Mike contributes to the strategic planning for Milliman’s security and infrastructure. He is a member of the Information Security and Technology Steering Committee, the IT Directors Committee, and the Technology Committee. As a key contributor to the Milliman internal audit program, he, together with global corporate services and local practices, helped identify risk and good IT practices to inform recommendations for new IT standards and procedures.
Mike was instrumental in the Health Discipline’s HITRUST effort, which resulted in a majority of Milliman health practices achieving HITRUST certification. Mike coauthored Milliman’s first HITRUST Policy and Procedure document and assisted with multiple Health Disciplinewide documents. Through this effort, Mike directed many centralized HITRUST systems, including endpoint security, configuration management, emergency notifications, data management, and secure FTP. Mike also helped organize and manage the first HITRUST workshop in Philadelphia, which trained the local Health IT implementers on the new HITRUST requirements.
Mike was part of creating the Milliman Information Security Peer Review (ISPR) program. This was a joint effort between a few Milliman practices and GCS. Michael was part of the initial practice reviews, which included significant feedback to improve the program.
Mike has chaired Milliman's Technology Forum three times.
