Keynote: FHIR-based Interoperability and Solutions

Speaker: Paula Braun

Paula is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) at CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. She offers a fresh look on how technology can inform and simplify the way mortality data are collected, analyzed, and reported across the United States. She also collaborates with colleagues across CDC to develop proof-of-concept SMART-on-FHIR applications to improve population health.

Paula began her career as a Presidential Management Fellow at CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. After that, she served as an analyst at the Government Accountability Office and later lived and worked at the US Embassies in Iraq and Afghanistan for two years. Immediately prior to her role as an EIR, Paula worked as a data scientist for a small predictive analytics firm called Elder Research.

Paula routinely puts herself in unfamiliar and unpredictable situations and enjoys performing standup comedy. She also teaches part-time in the Rollins School of Public Health informatics program at Emory University.
