Geisinger is a leading innovator when it comes leveraging electronic health records, data analytics and personalized medicine for the more than 1.5 million patients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that the organization serves through 13 hospital campuses, a nearly 600,000-member health plan and two research centers.

\u201cOne of the secret sauces at Geisinger is really that integrated delivery network,\u201d says Vawdrey. \u201cIt represents a very significant commitment to informatics, data science and analytics for Geisinger to have a senior-level position of this nature.\u201d

Vawdrey, who is charged with harmonizing data across Geisinger\u2019s clinical care, research and health plan, previously led NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital\u2019s Value Institute and its 200-plus-member team responsible for enterprise analytics, quality measurement, and electronic health record integration.

He contends that the advanced data infrastructure at Geisinger is unrivalled, given its nearly \u201c25 years of electronic health records\u201d combined with the MyCode Community Health Initiative, a precision medicine effort that includes more than 215,000 participants enrolled.

\u201cWe want to leverage these data assets and the workflow integration that is possible only when you have a foundation like this\u2014and to do something that matters,\u201d adds Vawdrey. \u201cThe challenge is translational\u2014in other words, how do you get the right information to the right person at the right time so they can make a better decision.\u201d

At the same time, he cautions that Geisinger\u2019s goal is not to implement technologies for technology\u2019s sake, but rather to adopt transformational solutions and delivery models that ultimately benefit patient care.

\u201cThe real commitment is not to artificial intelligence or machine learning\u2014these buzzwords that come and go\u2014but to healthcare transformation, making care better, more affordable, more accessible and higher quality,\u201d concludes Vawdrey.","saveContent":"As the new chief data informatics officer at Geisinger, David Vawdrey sees his role as helping to drive innovation in the use of electronic health information, ensuring that it flows seamlessly across the enterprise.
