Dr. Windle Appointed to Medical Informatics Task Force

John Windle, MD

John Windle, MD, the founding director of the Center for Intelligent Health Care at UNMC, has been selected to serve on the American Medical Informatics Association’s 25×5 Task Force that is examining how to reduce U.S. health professionals’ documentation burden.

For 25 years, Dr. Windle has focused his efforts and research into digital technology for health care clinicians. He has received funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institute for Standards and Technology, the National Library of Medicine and the Agency for Health Care Quality and Research. Dr. Windle, who served as chief of the UNMC Division of Cardiovascular Medicine for 16 years, lists research interests in optimizing electronic health records and developing artificial intelligence solutions to health care records.

The task force’s mission is to reduce documentation to 25% of its current state within five years through partnerships and advocacy with health systems, professional societies and public/private sector organizations.
