PANELISTS
Addison Stuart, RN
While caring for COVID-19 positive patients in the ICU during the global pandemic, Addison saw firsthand how fragile healthcare processes strained under the additional demand. Determined to make a step change improvement, Addison left the bedside to join his hospital's Quality Department. While collaborating with department heads and executives to improve patient outcomes, he encountered complex industry problems like gaps in interoperability and an ever-growing burden of nurse and provider burnout. Exposure to these issues led him to pursue his Nursing Informatics master's degree at the University of Utah and work at Project Ronin, a healthcare software company striving to extract the EHR information needed by clinical teams and provide it for them in a salient, accessible interface. While there, he fell in love with the challenging and rewarding work of HL7 FHIR modeling and normalization of EHR data to terminology standards. This company was the site of his nursing informatics capstone project, which involves the use of generative AI for query formulation with the end goal of improving the automated use of FHIR URIs within a FHIR data model. He worked there until March 2024, when the company shut down permanently. Addison, and the other 160+ former employees of Project Ronin, are now seeking their next opportunities to improve patient outcomes and healthcare workflows for clinical teams.
