Biography: Jim Warren is Professor of Health Informatics at the University of Auckland. Based in the Department of Computer Science, he works closely with the University's School of Population Health and National Institute for Health Innovation. In 2008-2010 he served a term as Chair of Health Informatics New Zealand, the member body of the International Medical Informatics Association for New Zealanders. He is also a founding Fellow of the Australasian College of Health Informatics. Jim's primary research interest is in IT for chronic condition management, whether this is through improved `business intelligence' (or data mining), clinical decision support tools for health providers, or information systems to better empower health consumers in their own care. He has been interested in the question of how to get useful clinical quality improvement information out of general practice electronic medical records since the early 1990s, and increasingly he finds that gaps in supply of long-term medications, such as blood pressure medication, provide a particularly fruitful area of focus.
