Historic ACMI Biography
In 1995, ACMI created a new category of ìInternational Associatesî to honor the achievements of medical informatics professionals outside of North America who have had an important impact on medical informatics in this country, and throughout the world. In 2007 the College honored Hans-Ulrich Prokosh and two other distinguished professionals as new international associate fellows. Professor Prokosch is University Professor for Medical Informatics at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and Chief Information Officer of Erlangen University Hospital. Dr. Prokosch has been been contributing to informatics research and systems design since 1986. He also has a US connection, having been a research associate in the University of Utah's department of medical informatics. He has published extensively in the area of patient specific clinical decision support in the context of information system architectures. He was one of the original contributors to the Arden Syntax for Medical Logic Modules, and has been an active contributor to both AMIA and IMIA for many years. For these achievements that have had international impact, he is recognized by election as an international associate of the College.
