Induction ceremony in November at AMIA conference

The American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI) has announced that Chris Harle, PhD, of the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health and the Regenstrief Institute will be inducted as one of 25 new fellows on November 10 in San Francisco, CA, at ceremonies during the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) 2024 Annual Symposium.

ACMI is a college of elected fellows who have made significant and sustained contributions to the field of biomedical informatics. Individuals who have achieved national recognition in the field and are committed to advancing the charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposed of ACMI are eligible for membership as a fellow. Each year, new fellows are elected by the voting members of ACMI and are elected for life.

“I am deeply honored to be included in this class of fellows,” said Dr. Harle, professor and chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Fairbanks School and a research scientist at the Regenstrief Institute. “This fellowship reflects not just my personal achievements, but also the dedication of my research team members and the supportive environment at the Fairbanks School and Regenstrief. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the transformation of healthcare through informatics.”

Dr. Harle’s research focuses on the design, adoption, use and value of health information systems. Over the last 12 years, his research has focused on clinical decision support tools to aid primary care clinicians in chronic pain care and safe opioid prescribing. This work has led to the Chronic Pain OneSheet decision support system. OneSheet has been implemented at two major health systems, and Dr. Harle is working with the electronic health record vendor Epic to distribute OneSheet nationwide. Dr. Harle has also collaborated on many other studies at the intersection of informatics and health services research.

AMIA’s Annual Symposium is the premier medical informatics event, presenting leading-edge scientific research and more than 100 scientific sessions. The symposium presents work from across the spectrum of the informatics field – translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics, consumer health informatics and public health informatics.
