Dr. Grobe, La Quinta Motor Inns, Inc. Centennial Professor in Nursing at The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing, has been conducting research in the area of (1) nursing informatics, (2) nursing quality indicators, and (3) a Community Women’s Wellness Demonstration Project. Her research project, Automated Analysis of Intervention Narrative, has been funded for $500,000 by the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Grobe has taught undergraduate and graduate courses and was the Director of the School’s Research Center, formerly the Center for Health Care Research and Evaluation, in the early 1990s. She has dedicated many years of service to the women of Travis County through the formation of the Community Women’s Wellness Center, which focuses on delivering health promotive and wellness care for women beyond the childbearing age who are uninsured and have little access to care. The Center is currently supported by the Texas Department of Health, St. David’s Foundation, and the Austin Community Komen Race for the Cure.

Dr. Grobe has contributed to over 80 manuscripts, including some of the first peer reviewed publications on computer use by nurses. She has mentored a number of individuals who have in turn impacted the field of Nursing Informatics in the U.S. and internationally. Retiring this year from the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Grobe has had a highly distinguished career that successfully combines practice, education, and research in both informatics and nursing. She is recognized internationally for her contributions, her visionary leadership, and the impact of her work on both patient care and policy.

Randolph A. Miller, M.D., is the Donald A.B. and Mary M. Lindberg University Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Medicine & Nursing. Dr. Miller is well known for his expertise on medical diagnostic systems and knowledge bases. He joined the INTERNIST-I diagnosis project at its inception in 1973. In 1985, he began work on Quick Medical Reference (QMR) as a microcomputer based successor to INTERNIST-I. Dr. Miller received the Priscilla Mayden Award in Medical Informatics from the University of Utah for his work on QMR. He continues his interest in all forms of medical decision support systems. He received New Investigator (1981-84) and Research Career Development (1985-90) Awards from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), and was Principal Investigator (PI) for the University of Pittsburgh’s UMLS Project (1986-94) and Director of its NLM-sponsored Training Program in Medical Informatics (1987-94), prior to moving to Vanderbilt. He chaired the University of Pittsburgh’s IAIMS Executive Committee (1991-94), was Project Director for the Pittsburgh Phase II IAIMS Project, and is an active participant in Vanderbilt’s IAIMS activities.

The move to Vanderbilt has afforded the opportunity to participate directly in the construction and implementation of the state-of-the-art hospital information system, including creating of linkages that will provide advanced decision support capabilities on the wards through physician order entry. Dr. Miller was PI on a NLM R01 project (1987-90; continuation 1991-94) examining medical knowledge base construction (project manager, Dr. N. Giuse). Dr. Miller has served on the Editorial Board of Methods of Information in Medicine, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. He served on the NLM’s Biomedical Library Review Study Section (1984-88), and is a member of the Health Care Technology Study Section of the AHCPR (1991- 95). He served on the SCAMC Board of Directors (1988-90), and the American Medical Informatics Association Board of Directors (1991-93), before becoming the President-Elect (1993) and President (1994-95) of AMIA. Dr. Miller continues his interest in medical informatics education at the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral levels, and there are several active postdoctoral trainees in the Division of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt.

Dr. Stead is Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs and Director of the Informatics Center at Vanderbilt University. In this role, he functions as Chief Information Officer of the Vanderbilt Medical Center and Chief Information Architect for the University. The Informatics Center is a unique blend of the units that manage the medical center’s information technology infrastructure, the Department of Biomedical Informatics of the School of Medicine (research and education), the Eskind Biomedical Library (knowledge management), and the Center for Better Health (accelerating change).

Dr. Stead received his BA and MD from Duke University where he also completed specialty and subspecialty training in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. As an undergraduate in the 1960s, he was a member of the team that developed the Cardiology Databank, one of the first clinical epidemiology projects to change practice by linking outcomes to process. As a faculty member in Nephrology, he was the physician in the physician-engineer partnership that developed The Medical Record (TMR), one of the first practical computer-based patient record systems. He helped Duke build one of the first patient-centered hospital information systems. He has led (as PI) two prominent academic health centers, Duke in the 1980s, and Vanderbilt in the 1990s, through both planning and implementation phases of large-scale, Integrated Advanced Information Management System (IAIMS) projects. At Vanderbilt, his team has been successful in creating informatics techniques for linking information into clinical workflow, in overcoming the barriers to technology adoption, and in reducing the cost and time required to implement enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure.

Dr. Stead is McKesson Foundation Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Professor of Medicine. He is a Founding Fellow of both the American College of Medical Informatics and the American Institute for Engineering in Biology and Medicine, and an elected member of both the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the American Clinical and Climatological Association. He was the founding Editor-in- Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, and served as President of the American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics and the American College of Medical Informatics.

He serves on the Computer Science and Telecommunication Board of the National Research Council. He served as Chairman of the Board of Regents of the National Library of Medicine, and as a Presidential appointee to the Commission on Systemic Interoperability. In addition to his academic and advisory responsibilities, Dr. Stead is a Director of HealthStream and Director of NetSilica.
