Summary

  • I am an anesthesiologist at VUMC focused on applying clinical informatics to advance medicine, with a deep background in electronic health records, clinical decision support and data science. I enjoy developing novel technology-based solutions for complex operational and research challenges within surgical and inpatient care.

    At Vanderbilt, I am the Associate Fellowship Director for the Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program and co-course director for the Foundations of Clinical Informatics in the Masters of Applied Clinical Informatics Program. I lead Vanderbilt's Physician Builder program and a Medical Director of Perioperative Informatics. At the Anesthesia Quality Institute, I am Vice Chair for the Registry Operations and Data Definitions Committees, and am on the Board of Directors for the Society for Technology in Anesthesia. I also serve on Epic’s Anesthesiology Specialty Steering Board, and am Associate Medical Director for the Vanderbilt Anesthesiology and Perioperative Informatics Research (VAPIR) Division and Vanderbilt's Preoperative Evaluation Center.
