Rotation Guide & Goals
Providing safe and high-quality health care extends beyond direct patient care to the technology supporting this care. As the health care system and medicine itself have become increasingly complex, the role technology plays in streamlining efficiencies and providing safeguards has grown.
Stanford is a leader in the field of clinical informatics. With the implementation of the electronic health record, clinical decision support tools, and medication safety measures, outcomes have improved in multiple areas including clinical, regulatory, financial, research, and operations.
This elective provides residents an opportunity to explore the integration of medicine and information technologies in an experiential manner by engaging with our digital information services team and developing a small project. In doing so, residents will gain an understanding of the field of clinical informatics and the role it plays in the national effort to improve quality of care, eliminate medical errors, and develop innovative solutions. Additionally, residents will be exposed to topics including:
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Clinical decision support (CDS) systems
Generative AI in healthcare
Role of health IT in patient safety
Change management
Standardization of care using order sets
Data analytics
And more!
