Saif Khairat
Assistant Professor
With over a decade of experiences, Dr. Khairat has lead national and international projects to enhance healthcare research and services, specifically within the informatics world. His efforts involved the improvement of chronic disease self-management combined with the application and sustainability of e-Health interventions. Dr. Khairat is an Assistant Professor at the Carolina Health Informatics Program and the School of Nursing at UNC. He is a site PI of an NIH funded project titled “Overcoming the Barriers to Clinical Trial Recruitment through Telecom sent”. Prior to joining UNC, Dr. Khairat was Co-Principal Investigator of the Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center, funded by HRSA, a three-year federally funded center that is responsible for increasing Telehealth awareness and providing consultation to healthcare providers and vendors in six states.
As an informatics expert, Dr. Khairat focuses on establishing networked data collection and appropriate access for relevant public health professionals. As part of the Clinical Translational Science Institute Biomedical Informatics (CTSI-BMI) at the University of Minnesota, he worked with a team of researchers to build a fully automated platform of systems, applications, databases and analytical tools to support the operations of research and clinical care for all of the health sciences. Similarly, his research investigates the development, implementation, and evaluation of Health IT solutions. He also serves as the associate editor of the Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) journal and serves as a scientific reviewer to various national and international journals and conferences.
Dr. Khairat is immediate past-Chair of the Education Working Group and a member of the Working Group Steering Committee at the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).
