| Description: | NLM Informatics Lecture Series
The Emergency Department is a fast-paced, information intensive environment that can benefit from improved information management. The presentation will discuss how an integrated information system infrastructure can support providers to deliver high-quality patient care, optimize operational activities, and facilitate clinical and informatics research studies in the Emergency Department. Illustrative examples will include improvement of pneumonia-care processes, implementation of asthma guidelines, and forecasting Emergency Department overcrowding. Dr. Dominik Aronsky is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt University. He completed his MD degree at the University of Berne (Switzerland) and earned a PhD in Medical Informatics from the University of Utah in 2000. Dr. Aronsky is interested in interdisciplinary research with a focus on developing, implementing, integrating, and evaluating computerized decision support systems for real time, clinical applications. He is interested in collaborating closely with clinicians and other researchers to develop and evaluate integrated systems that include machine learning methods in support of patient care. He is also interested in the study design and the clinical evaluation of medical informatics systems. |
