Fall 2022-Spring 2024

Adam is native of Middle Tennessee and has been a part of the Vanderbilt community since 1997. He completed his undergraduate studies in electrical and biomedical engineering and immediately started working in healthcare informatics at VUMC. Professionally, he started working as an analyst/developer at VUMC in the anesthesia and perioperative space. Currently, he works as a director in HealthIT responsible for technical ownership of clinical applications in the perioperative and procedural space across our health system.

In the MS‐ACI program, he hopes to gain greater exposure and knowledge of clinical informatics outside of the periop arena and to build relationships within the program that can foster innovation and concepts to better the field of healthcare informatics.

Formerly a MS in Applied Clinical Informatics student (Fall 2022-Spring 2024) and fellow of the DBMI Clinical Informatics Program

Originally from Chicago, Dr. Julie Bauml is a private practice radiologist. She graduated medical school from UI Chicago in 2010 and did her radiology residency there as well, and completed an MRI fellowship at UW Madison. She has worked as an attending physician at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, an assistant professor in radiology at UI Chicago Hospital, and most recently for private practice in Elmhurst, IL.

"Working in various environments has shown me how much opportunity there is for improving medicine with health informatics. The same issues keep cropping up: high volumes, inefficient paperwork, burned out providers and overly complex systems for patients to navigate. I would really like to draw on my experiences to improve the environment for medical providers and patients alike so that the entire system can be more sustainable."

Dr. Bauml started her 2‐year clinical informatics fellowship in July 2022 and as part of it, enrolled in the MS‐ ACI program as well. Her interests are in the world of imaging informatics including process improvements, AI/ML solutions (both interpretive and non‐interpretive), inter‐facility data sharing, and patient outreach.

Matthew Semler Featured in Discover: "Your Pulse-Oximetry Results May Vary..."

A new observational study at Vanderbilt University Medical Center found that pulse-oximetry readings of patients with non-white skin may vary from commonly applied standards, raising concerns about a potential impact on critical care. The study is part of a continued focus at Vanderbilt on identifying and addressing disparities in healthcare.
