I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Director of the Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Core, and Clinical Director with HealthIT. My work focuses on applied clinical informatics, where I support a broad range of research and operational initiatives through data extraction, EHR-based implementation, and clinical decision support. I collaborate closely with VUMC’s HealthIT team and external researchers to translate informatics interventions, such as documentation tools, alerts, and predictive models, into real-world clinical workflows. My goal is to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare, and I actively engage in national informatics collaborations to share lessons learned and promote best practices.
