New 
On April 17, 2008, I
presented research findings about the health information technology
(HIT) workforce to the
Capitol
Hill Steering Committee on Telehealth
and Healthcare
Informatics in Washington, DC. I was introduced by my
Congressman,
David Wu (D-OR),
whose legislation in this area (the
10,000
Trained by 2010 Act, named after a course I developed by the same
name) has
passed the House but is awaiting action in the Senate. Here are some
documents and links related to the event:
Some other publications I recently authored:
I have also recently given
updated versions of some of my usual talks:
- The Value of Health Information
Technology Requires a Competent and Professional Workforce,
presented at the Healthcare
Careers Pathway Summit of the Oregon Healthcare Workforce Institute
in Eugene, OR on April 10, 2008.
- Think Globally, Act Locally: The National
Health Information Infrastructure - talk about

Discipline and Profession, presented as the keynote
speaker at the Greater Philadelphia Healthcare informatics Symposium in
Philadelphia, PA on April 4, 2008. I gave an earlier version this talk as the keynote
speaker at the Oregon Academy of
Science 66th annual meeting on February 23, 2008. Related to this, US News
& World Report recently called health informatics an
"ahead of
the curve" career.
- Informatics: An Essential Tool
and
Science for Translational Research (and Health Care), presented at
the University of Connecticut Health Sciences Center GCRC Seminar on

David Wu, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski, OHSU President Joe Robertson,
and several local informatics leaders at OHSU on November 27, 2007.
I put a
posting the OHSU

Biography
William Hersh, M.D. is Professor and Chair of the Department of Medical Informatics
& Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) in the School of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University
(OHSU) in Portland, Oregon. He also has academic appointments
in the
Division of General Internal Medicine of the Department of Medicine
and in the Department of
Public Health and Preventive Medicine at OHSU. Dr. Hersh obtained
his
B.S. in Biology from the University of
Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1980 and his M.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago in
1984. After finishing his residency in Internal Medicine at
University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago in 1987, he completed a
Fellowship in Medical Informatics in the Decision Systems Group at
Harvard University in 1990.
Dr. Hersh has been at OHSU since 1990, where he has developed
research and educational programs in biomedical informatics. He is
internationally recognized for his contributions to the field. He
is a Fellow of the
American College of Medical Informatics and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians
(ACP). Dr. Hersh is also Chair of the Working
Group on Education of the International
Medical Informatics Association as well as Chair of the ACP's Medical Informatics
Subcommittee. He previously served as Secretary of the American Medical Informatics Association
(AMIA).
Dr. Hersh's research focuses on the development and evaluation of
information retrieval systems for biomedical practitioners and
researchers. The majority of his
research funding comes from the
National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the National Science Foundation. He
has published over 100
scientific papers and is author of the book, Information Retrieval:
A Health and Biomedical Perspective (Second Edition,
Springer-Verlag, 2003), which has an associated Web site, www.irbook.info. Dr.
Hersh serves as Editor for the Americas
of the journal Information Retrieval
and as Deputy Editor of the Journal of
Biomedical Knowledge and Discovery. He
also serves on the editorial board of several other scientific
journals. He is also a member of the program committee of
the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC)
and
currently chairs the TREC
Genomics Track.
Dr. Hersh is also actively involved in clinical and translational
research. He serves as Director of the Biomedical Informatics Program
of the Oregon
Clinical and Translational Research Institute (OCTRI), which is one
of 12 centers initially funded by the
Clinical and
Translational Science Award (CTSA) initiative of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) to promote translational research. Dr. Hersh
is also Chair of the CTSA National Informatics Steering
Committee, convened by the NIH.
Dr. Hersh's work in biomedical informatics education is equally
well-known. He serves as Director of OHSU's educational
programs in
biomedical informatics. These programs include the on-campus
Master
of Science, Master
of Biomedical Infromatics,
and PhD
programs as
well as the distance learning-based
Graduate Certificate
and Master
of Biomedical
Infromatics programs. He also serves as Director of the NLM-funded Fellowship
in Biomedical Informatics at OHSU. Dr. Hersh also conceptualized
the AMIA 10x10 Program that
aims to train 10,000 health care professionals in informatics by the
year 2010 and served as Director of the inaugural offering of
the course.
