"The addition of SES empowers Centauri to support strategic client initiatives in the area of value-based care and clinical data exchange," said Adam Miller, Centauri co-founder and CEO. "Promoting provider and payor collaboration through our standards-driven approach reduces time to implement and increases adoption versus proprietary software installation. In addition, our unique suite of solutions on the revenue side of the value-based care equation is additive to traditional solutions focused only on lowering the overall cost of care." The combined organization will be led by Miller, with Darnell continuing to oversee the SES division together with SES Chief Technology Officer Boris Shur.
