We have established a community of CCOM Informaticists who are applying these skills in their work at UIHC and collaborative research on campus. You are invited to join us with presentations, journal clubs, and other activities. Previous meeting information and links to recorded presentations may be found here.
Biomedical and Health Informatics Community Meeting
August 13, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 pm CST | via Zoom (campus colleagues may request the link)
Presentation: Leveraging AI for EHR Quality Improvement and Research
Kenneth Nepple, MD, FACS
Clinical Professor of Urology
UI Health Care | University of Iowa
Join us for our next seminar as we welcome Kenneth Nepple, MD, FACS, Clinical Professor at University of Iowa Health Care. Dr. Nepple will share how artificial intelligence can help clinicians uncover critical patient information hidden within increasingly complex electronic health records.
His team's innovative work uses AI to identify patients with prostate cancer who may benefit from germline genetic testing. Supported by a recent quality improvement grant, this initiative highlights the potential of AI to enhance clinical practice and patient care.
Attendees will gain insights into both the opportunities and challenges of implementing AI in healthcare, as well as its potential impact on patient care, research, and medical education.
We hope you can join us for this timely discussion on the current and future use of AI in healthcare!
The Clinical Informatics Journal Club, also hosted by Dr. Lindsey Knake, is incorporated into the clinical informatics lectures. For more information, please contact clinical informatics.
