Vojtech Huser, MD, PhD
Staff Scientist, Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, National Library of Medicine
National Institutes of Health
Dr. Huser was born in the Czech Republic. He received his medical doctor degree (MD) from Palacky University (Olomouc, Czech Republic, EU) and PhD degree in Biomedical informatics from University of Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA). He is currently affiliated with National Institutes of Health (NIH), Laboratory for Informatics Development at the NIH Clinical Center. His research interests are: clinical informatics, knowledge representation, clinical research informatics, data repositories and data analysis, workflow technology, executable clinical guidelines, medical decision support systems and quality improvement in healthcare. As an informatician, Dr. Huser worked with numerous informatics systems at Intermountain Healthcare in Utah, Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin, and NIH in Maryland (intramural campus). He is a former Fulbright scholar (his PhD degree) and recipient of the Young Investigator Award from HMO Research Network. He is a member of American Medical Informatics Association.
Dr. Huser published articles about clinical trial registries and analyzed submitted basic summary data by individual clinical trials within the cClinicalTrials.gov registry. He is an expert in knowledge representation and formulated desiderata for healthcare data repositories. His prior work on process modeling and graphical flowchart models of medical problems is relevant to formulating user-friendly and computable phenotype definitions and representations as well as clinical decision support or clinical trial protocols.
