Dr. Moselle is a registered clinical psychologist with close to 25 years of experience in Island Health, one of five regional health authorities of Britain. Following a 10-year stint at the Institute of Human Development at UC Berkeley, he spent a decade in Malaysia and Singapore carrying out a range of clinical and research activities. He came to work in what was then the Capital Health Region, where in 2001 he secured funding from Health Canada to develop an information system for Victoria’s downtown core service providers. In 2006, he secured funding from Canada Health Infoway and functioned as project lead and information architect for an electronic health record (EHR) solution for the mental health and substance program area. That project received the Canadian Coach Award for Innovation in the Adoption of Clinical Informatics. Since then, Dr. Moselle launched and currently directs the Applied Clinical Research Unit (ACRU) within Island Health. As principal investigator for an ACRU study that entailed cross-border access to data extracted from the Island Health Cerner EHR implementation, Dr. Moselle contended with the substantial challenges around architecting a de-identification solution and implementing a controlled data disclosure environment. He addressed key challenges around appropriate privacy-protected disclosure of transactional health datasets. In the context of a growing array of partnerships with academic research units, Dr. Moselle and colleagues affiliated with the University of Victoria have formed the Island Health/UVIC Data Science Studio. This group focuses on a suite of projects that use bodies of high-dimensional data extracted from the Island Health cross-continuum deployment of the EHR.
Naleef Fareed, PhD, is an assistant professor in Biomedical Informatics, Health Services Management and Policy, and a core faculty member within the Center for the Advancement of Team Science, Analytics and Systems Thinking in Health Systems Research and Implementation Science (CATALYST) at the Ohio State University Medical Center. He is also an affiliate faculty member with the Ohio State University Translational Data Analytics Institute. Fareed is a trained health services researcher and has spent a decade generating evidence around the nuances of the quality-enhancing proposition of health information technology. He also conducts studies that assess the effects of policies, interventions and strategies on healthcare outcomes. His recent work advances technologies and methods in patient-centered healthcare research. Along with his colleagues at CATALYST, Fareed has been collectively leading in the design, development, implementation and assessment of several synergistic systems that involve the collection of patient-reported outcomes and social determinants of health and documents their experience and preferences. The implications for these efforts are transforming how healthcare is delivered at the Ohio State University Medical Center, a large, academic research learning health system, and health care practices across the state of Ohio.
