Bates, MD, MSc (AMIA Board Chairman, Medical Director of Clinical and Quality Analysis, Partners Healthcare, Chief, Division of General Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital), Don E. Detmer, MD, MA (AMIA President and CEO), William Hersh, MD (Professor and Chair, Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology, Oregon Health & Science University) Leslie Lenert, MD, MS (Director, National Center for Public Health Informatics (NCPHI), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Clement J.
