Early life and education

Bakken was an undergraduate student in nursing at Arizona State University.[ citation needed ] She earned her doctoral degree in nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. [1] She moved to Stanford University as a National Library of Medicine and American Nurses Foundation postdoctoral fellow. [2]

Research and career

In 2006, Bakken joined the Columbia University Institute of Medicine. Her research combines informatics, evidence-based nursing and health equity. [3] At Columbia, she led the Center for Evidence-based Practice in the Underserved and the pre-/post-doctoral program on Reducing Health Disparities through Informatics (RHeaDI). [4] [5]

Bakken worked on the representation of nursing concepts and terminology in Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine and LOINC. [6] She showed that using formal vocabularies to express patient problems enhanced the generalizability of research, improved the quality of health outcomes and improved the traineeship of informatics and nursing researchers. [6] She has argued that digital infrastructure is a critical component of a health ecosystem, and that new clinical tools could be used for self-management and care. [7] However, to make the digital infrastructure fair and equitable, it is key to improve public trust such that individuals contribute personal data and clinical experiences. Bakken developed community engagement projects to improve public trust amongst urban Latino populations. [7]

Bakken is known for her contributions to biomedical informatics, with a focus on visual analytic innovations, training of informatics students and knowledge formalization.[ citation needed ] She spent 2015 as a Scholar in Residence at the National Academy of Medicine. [4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bakken was supported by the National Institutes of Health to create a visualization toolbox to address COVID-19 misinformation and hesitation around testing and vaccination.

It became an independent organization in 1987 and was established under Swiss law in 1989.

Edward ("Ted") Hance Shortliffe is a Canadian-born American biomedical informatician, physician, and computer scientist. Shortliffe is a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence in medicine. He was the principal developer of the clinical expert system MYCIN, one of the first rule-based artificial intelligence expert systems, which obtained clinical data interactively from a physician user and was used to diagnose and recommend treatment for severe infections. While never used in practice, its performance was shown to be comparable to and sometimes more accurate than that of Stanford infectious disease faculty. This spurred the development of a wide range of activity in the development of rule-based expert systems, knowledge representation, belief nets and other areas, and its design greatly influenced the subsequent development of computing in medicine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">David W. Bates</span> Researcher

David Bates is an American-born physician, biomedical informatician, and professor, who is internationally renowned for his work regarding the use of health information technology (HIT) to improve the safety and quality of healthcare, in particular by using clinical decision support. Bates has done work in the area of medication safety. He began by describing the epidemiology of harm caused by medications, first in hospitalized patients and then in other settings such as the home and nursing homes. Subsequently, he demonstrated that by implementing computerized physician order entry (CPOE), medication safety could be dramatically improved in hospitals. This work led the Leapfrog Group to call CPOE one of the four changes that would most improve the safety of U.S. healthcare. It also helped hospitals to justify investing in electronic health records and in particular, CPOE. Throughout his career, Bates has published over 600 peer reviewed articles and is the most cited researcher in the fields of both patient safety and biomedical informatics, with an h-index of 115. In a 2013 analysis published by the European Journal of Clinical Investigation, he ranked among the top 400 living biomedical researchers of any type. He is currently editor of the Journal of Patient Safety.
