Po-Hao Chen, MD MBA

About

I am the Chief Informatics Officer at the Cleveland Clinic Imaging Institute and a practicing musculoskeletal radiologist and proceduralist. After receiving an M.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University in 2012, I completed diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, MSK imaging, and informatics training at University of Pennsylvania.
Currently, I chair the American College of Radiology (ACR) Informatics Advisory Council and the Data Science Summit and am an ACR Commission on Informatics member. For SIIM Cybersecurity subcommittee, I serve as the chair. For the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA), I am the Vice Chair for Informatics Policy.
My current scholarly focus is on reducing data bias and algorithmic brittleness by assessing and building imaging datasets and using cases to standardize the quality of machine learning models. For cybersecurity, my work focuses on radiology technical and operational preparedness and recovery in the context of evolving cyber threat.
You can find my profile on Twitter, LinkedIn, or follow the blog Figure Stuff Out. I enjoy imaging informatics, healthcare innovation, and good comfort food. The content of this website and the blog are of my personal opinion and do not represent the view of Cleveland Clinic.
