FAMIA stands for “Fellow of the American Medical Informatics Association” and it recognizes the contributions and professional accomplishments of AMIA members who apply informatics skills and knowledge to their practice – be that in a clinical setting, a public or population health capacity, or as a clinical researcher.

The DEI Steering Committee guides and executes AMIA’s strategic goals and objectives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

DEI Advancement of Health Equity and Antiracism in Healthcare Subcommittee positions AMIA to become a thought leader in addressing these topics at the intersection with informatics; serve as an organizational convener for education, research, and policy.

Maturity models are instruments to define and facilitate organization management with regard to a particular function or behavior. Maturity models allow organizational self-assessment based on multiple axes, including organizational culture, process standardization and technology to arrive at a final overall maturity level, and also allowing organizations to identify areas of weakness.
