Back to all chairs

Jeff Shick is a pharmacist and clinical informaticist. He graduated from Ohio Northern University and completed a post-graduate pharmacy informatics residency where he worked on drug information and telepharmacy projects. He has worked in both retail and hospital pharmacy before coming to Washington, DC and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists as a clinical informaticist with a focus on drug information database maintenance and publishing and digital product development. For over 20 years he worked to implement and manage coding mechanisms that foster data granularity, application, exchange and portability of the AHFS Drug Information database with other related ASHP and extramural databases and derive new products from existing data sets. For the last four years, he has been a part of the Digital & Innovation Office at the US Pharmacopeia and currently leads the Translational Informatics division, which aims to sustainably embed USP standards and solutions into the electronic systems and workflows of software used across the drug supply chain by delivering scientific content in the form of high-quality, machine-readable data and digital services. Translational Informatics is also a vehicle for advocacy, identifying areas where substandard digital offerings pose a public health risk, or where new digital standards / solutions would improve public health. He is a member of the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS), the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the National Council for Prescription Drug Plans (NCPDP), and the Pharmacy Health Information Technology Collaborative (PHITC).
