The Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Medicine seek faculty candidates with research interests in clinical applications including clinical decision support, clinical data standards and health information exchange.  The faculty should be eligible for appointment in an appropriate clinical department and may practice part-time.

Regenstrief Institute, Inc., an internationally recognized informatics and healthcare research organization, is dedicated to the improvement of health through research that enhances the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care. Over the past three decades, Regenstrief's research scientists have been developing the Regenstrief Medical Records System, one of the nation's first electronic medical record systems and the keystone of many Institute activities. In addition to being a critical research tool, RMRS serves as the day-to-day electronic medical records system at Wishard Hospital and its community clinics. Regenstrief's informaticians have created the nation's oldest and largest health information exchange which currently allows physicians in the emergency departments, with the patient's permission, to view as a single virtual record all previous care at any central Indiana hospital. RMRS has been widely recognized for its role in improving quality of care, increasing efficiency of healthcare delivery, preventing medical errors and enhancing patient safety.

Over the past quarter century, the Institute's informatics group has pioneered international electronic message standards for medical records including the development of HL7, the standard for electronic data interchange in health care. They also developed the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC©) system, a standard nomenclature (now over 33,000 observation terms) that enables the electronic transmission of clinical data from laboratories to hospitals, physicians' offices and payers for clinical care and management purposes.  

The Institute hosts a successful NLM funded medical informatics fellowship program.

Applicants should have an M.D., Ph.D. or similar training and should have a strong background in computer science with interest in medical applications or a clinical background in any subspecialty with substantial experience developing software to support clinical research or practice. Applicants should have a proven publication record in leading peer-reviewed journals and demonstrated potential to obtain extramural funding. Senior faculty should have established research programs with extramural funding.
