Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is excited to announce the appointment of Keith Morse, MD, MBA, as the new Chief Medical Informatics Officer. Morse, a pediatric hospitalist at Stanford Children’s, has been with the Stanford Medicine community for over seven years, serving as clinical associate professor of Pediatric Hospital Medicine and as the program director of the Clinical Informatics Fellowship program.

Morse is now leading efforts to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve patient care and hospital efficiency at Stanford Medicine. He’s been instrumental in making state-of-the-art technologies, such as machine learning, a part of everyday medical practice. In addition, he helps lead Stanford’s participation in PEDSnet, an 11-site research network that focuses on children’s health across the country.

In his new position, Morse will continue to oversee Stanford’s Clinical Informatics Fellowship, nurturing the next generation of informatics physicians. His new role includes advancing the integration of informatics in health care to improve patient outcomes, support clinical staff, and provide leaders with insightful data-driven strategies. By emphasizing the importance of electronic health records and the use of AI in health care, Morse aims to address the unique needs of pediatric and adolescent patients.

Our CI fellows Dong-han Yao, MD and Shivam Vedak MD, MBA have become national experts in prompt engineering for LLMs in healthcare! They have led several workshops including a standing-room-only session at AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association) CIC this past May, a session at UCSF last month, and a grand rounds at UCLA last week!

Dr. Yao will be leading another session at the Stanford EM Innovation Symposium on October 17! Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for additional opportunities to learn how to use LLMs in practice.

We're so excited to welcome our new first year Stanford Clinical Informatics fellows who started their fellowship last week!

Kameron B. - Kameron Black is our internal medicine fellow and joins us from OHSU. He has extensive experience in informatics and medical education, including starting the nation’s first longitudinal curriculum to train medical students in digital health.

Bethel R. Mieso, MD - Bethel joins us following completion of pediatric residency here at Stanford Children's Health | Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford. She has experience researching the impact of mobile phone applications to support breastfeeding and held various roles supporting diversity in medical education, including completion of the LEAD program.

Aydin Zahedivash - Aydin completed his pediatric residency and chief year here at Stanford Children’s. During residency he served as a Clinical Informatics Resident Liaison and studied the utility of Apple Health Watch to diagnose arrhythmias in pediatric patients.

Nymisha Chilukuri, MD received the GME Award for Promoting Health Equity which recognizes a resident and a fellow that have promoted health equity through research, community engagement, and/or involvement in social advocacy for marginalized communities. Dr. Chilukuri was selected for the award for her impactful and innovative work on improving MyChart activation rates for pediatric families with Spanish as their preferred language; creating a direct referral system from within Epic to the Second Harvest Food Bank to streamline the process of connecting patient families to essential resources; and her use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve interpreter translation workflows, thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of translation services and making healthcare more accessible and inclusive.
