Franklin Din, DMD, MA Executive Director, HP Medical Informatics Center of Excellence		After over twenty years of clinical dental experience and three years of academic teaching experience, Frank completed an NLM post-doctoral fellowship in Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University in 2005. He previously served a Senior Informatics Consultant for Apelon, Inc. His path into Informatics and Terminologies began with recognition, as a clinician, of the inadequacies of paper-based patient records. He created tools, in PC and Palm versions, that provided decision support on medical conditions and their affect on dental treatment. In response to the World Trade Center attack of 2001, as an NDMS/DMORT (National Disaster Medical System / Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) forensic dentist, Frank modeled and developed a database to track the status of antemortem and postmortem dental records, as well as provide an audit trail for the chain of custody for the records. For the Hurricane Katrina recovery in 2005, he separated the dental identification unit from the dental data gathering unit in the morgue. While at Columbia University, Frank developed a search and subset tool for SNODENT. In addition, he led a three student team which prototyped personalized health information delivery via cell phone text messaging in order to reach the mobile minority teen population. Prior to Apelon, Frank worked as a Terminology Analyst for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in the Enterprise Terminology Service group. He created a tool to conduct mappings between concepts in the VistA etiology files and SNOMED CT for the LDSI (Lab Data Sharing Initiative) project that links the VHA and the Department of Defense lab systems. In addition, he created an MS Excel tool to conduct a mapping from the Kaiser Permanente ICD-9 based problem list into a SNOMED CT based list. This work became the basis of the FDA’s SPL problem list. Frank serves as the lead in developing collaborative work in knowledge discovery with the Ohio State University Department of Biomedical Informatics and Clinical and Translational Research Center as well as improving the extraction of the analytic data from OSU Medical Center’s Information Warehouse.
