Stephen Porter is a clinical informatician and board-certified pediatric emergency medicine specialist whose research bridges the gap between health services and medical informatics. The focus of his work is to eliminate gaps in safety and quality through patient- driven information management, to establish the value of patient-driven data streams within the health information technology enterprise, and to develop new methods of information management that promotes patient-centered care.
A central tenet of Dr. Porter's research is that the history as told by the parent has value, and his work examines just how valuable patient-derived data can be for improvements in quality and safety. Dr. Porter seeks to maximize the influence of patients in their own medical care through use of structured multimedia interfaces that link patient-produced data to real-time clinical information flow and decision-making.
