Among Dr. Chris Harle’s many clinical research interests, he’s been keenly focused for years on interoperable decision support tools, helping steer primary care providers toward more guideline-recommended prescribing patterns with more intuitive EHR information design, AI-enabled opioid prediction and risk-stratification tools and other data-driven imperatives related to provider experience, quality improvement, patient safety and population health.

Harle is a professor and chair in the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Indiana University’s Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health. He’s also a research scientist in the affiliated Regenstrief Institute’s center for biomedical informatics and an associate faculty member in IU’s Kelley School of Business.

On the occasion of his recent induction into the American College of Medical Informatics, we spoke with Harle to learn more about the science of clinical and biomedical informatics – how he’s seen it evolve, where he thinks it’s headed and what that means for providers and patients alike. He spoke about how AI is shaping CDC strategies, how better UX can make EHRs more effective and his own initiative focused on safer prescribing for chronic pain.
