Historic ACMI Biography
It is not possible to overstate Koppel's contribution to our understanding of the safety, workflow integration and usability of HIT and for exposing the relationships between clinicians and vendors. His influence on the field has been profound and impactful. His work on unintended consequences (e.g. AHRQ guide ìbest sellerî) won endorsements from industry, government leaders, and providers. His work on vendor contracts is the foundational document of AMIAís task force and of the recent IOM report on patient safety and HIT. His study of workarounds to barcode medication systems and infusion pumps is one of the most accessed JAMIA articles. As a consummate methodologist, Dr Koppel has lent his talents to serve as the current chair of AMIAs evaluation working group.
