Background:

Dr. King joined the Imaging and Informatics Laboratory in 2004 to apply his systems engineering background to the challenges faced in the integration of clinical imaging systems throughout the hospital enterprise. His research interests include architectures for secure storage and recovery of clinical data, integration of location and tracking technologies (e.g., RFID) with clinical workflows, and socio-technical issues of medical information systems. Dr. King has been a consultant to one hospital deploying an electronic patient record system. His research has been published at the Radiology Society of North America conference, International Society for Optical Engineers Medical Imaging conference, and the Middle East Conference on Healthcare Informatics.

Research Interests:

Architectures for secure storage and recovery of clinical data, integration of location and tracking technologies (e.g., RFID) with clinical workflows, decision support for patient-physician collaboration, socio-technical issues in deploying data storage grids.

Current Projects:

DICOM Data Storage Grid
PACS Queue Delivery Time Prediction
Patient Tracking in Clinical Workflows
