My main interest is to develop methods to improve the use of clinical data for research. This includes the use of electronic health records and the data collected in them, using artificial intelligence to predict some diseases and complications and process mining to understand the best ways to organize care.
I have extensive applied experience in health informatics since I was the Chief Medical Information Officer for Chile's Catholic University university healthcare network (2 hospitals, 11 clinics) during 4 years and I founded the Chilean National Centre for Health Information Systems, a 5-university initiative to implement healthcare information interoperability standards and to develop the health informatics workforce in the Chile.
