AMIA honors Regenstrief researcher with leadership award

Regenstrief Institute Research Scientist Titus K. Schleyer, DMD, PhD, was awarded a 2024 leadership award by the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA). The leaders were presented with their awards during the 2024 Annual Symposium in San Francisco, during the State of the Association on November 12. 

The awards recognize informatics leaders who actively support the mission and vision of AMIA. Each year, the chair of the AMIA Board of Directors and the chief executive officer select individuals who have demonstrated outstanding volunteer leadership and service to the association and profession.  

Dr. Schleyer organized a mini-summit at the AMIA 2023 Annual Symposium to explore how informatics can address health challenges caused by climate change. The event convened national and international experts to develop an informatics infrastructure that highlights and raises awareness of climate change’s impact on health. Dr. Schleyer has also launched a showcase to discover the most innovative FHIR®-based apps being used in real-world settings. The showcase’s success has solidified its place as a permanent feature of the AMIA Annual Symposium.

The AMIA Annual Symposium is the world’s premier meeting for the research and practice of biomedical and health informatics. 

Dr. Schleyer leads the Learning Health Informatics Program at Regenstrief Institute, which is focused on using everyday patient care data to improve the health and healthcare of people in Indiana and beyond. Current research focus areas include clinical decision support, health disparities, quality of care, social determinants of health, and population health.
