Stanford Healthcare AI Applied Research Team, Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CaliforniaJulie J. Lee, MD, MPH, is a board-certified internal medicine physician and clinical informaticist at Stanford University. Dr. Lee's expertise in clinical informatics enables her to implement informatics-driven approaches and new technologies, such as AI, to optimize clinical workflows, alleviate physician burnout, and champion health equity in a world of growing dependence on digitalized health systems.
Dr. Lee has been key to several initiatives in improving operational processes within Stanford. Her efforts range from advancing the governance of clinical decision support to the strategic integration of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program into the electronic health record (EHR), thereby reducing clinician work burden in addressing the opioid crisis. Additionally, she has developed an innovative EHR tool that serves as a dynamic guide and triage system, effectively managing the surge of patient portal communications. Alongside her informatics initiatives, Dr. Lee's health equity research focuses on leveraging patient data and AI/ML models to identify and mitigate health disparities, making certain they function as instruments of equity rather than perpetuating inequities.
In the upcoming academic year, Dr. Lee will lead as health equity informaticist within the Primary Care Population Health division at Stanford.
