Vimla Patel is a professor of biomedical informatics and co-director of the Center for Cognitive Informatics and Decision Making in the School of Health Information Sciences at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. From 2007-2009, she served as interim chair and vice chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Arizona State University, moving from Columbia University in New York. She has also served on the faculty at McGill University. As a leader in adapting methods/theories from cognitive science and in innovating new approaches that provide scientific foundation for medical education, her research includes role of cognition in designing a safer clinical workplace. Her studies focus on complexity of the distributed cognitive system that underlies critical care decisions and on the impact of technology on human cognition and competent performance.
