Embi, MD, MS Assistant Professor Director, Center for Health Informatics Peter.Embi@uc.edu 513.558.3660 Dr. Embi is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of the Institute's Center for Health Informatics. He is actively involved in applied and academic informatics activities across the academic health center. Dr. Embi's informatics research interests span the domains of clinical, educational, and clinical research informatics. Past works include research on the clinical and educational impacts of information technology, including his seminal work on the impacts of computerized physician documentation published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. His article on the subject was selected from over 200 candidates as a finalist for AMIA's 2005 Diana Forsythe Award for excellence at the intersection of Informatics and the social sciences. His current research focuses on enhancing the conduct of clinical research by applying Informatics tools and methods. His development and evaluation of a novel Clinical Trial Alert system demonstrated that an EHR-based approach can significantly improve subject recruitment to a clinical trial. In support of his research, Dr. Embi is the recipient of NIH funding, including being one of the first recipients of the National Library of Medicine's Early Career Development Award for Informatics (K22) in 2004. He is active in the American Medical Informatics Association, currently serving on the AMIA Ethics Committee and secretary of the organization's Clinical Trials Working Group. In addition to his informatics activities, Dr. Embi practices rheumatology at the Cincinnati VAMC and is an active educator of medical students, residents and fellows in both clinical medicine and medical informatics. He is active in and is a regular contributor to educational sessions on health information technology use by clinicians for such organizations as the American College of Physicians and the American College of Rheumatology.
