A Thank You and Best Wishes to Frank Sonnenberg
We wish to acknowledge the extraordinary contribution that Frank Sonnenberg made to the NJ ACTS Informatics Core. As he transitions to retirement, we wish the best to Frank in this new chapter of his life. Dr. Sonnenberg, a Professor in the RWJ Medical School Department of Medicine, served as the Chief Medical Informatics Officer for RWJBH-Rutgers Health Medical Group. Dr. Sonnenberg is retiring at the end of June.
Dr. Sonnenberg led the Informatics Core since its inception in 2018, assisted by David Foran and Yi Chen (NJIT). Together with the Office of Advanced Research Computer, they developed the Clinical Research Data Warehouse, initiated the digital certificate in Clinical Informatics and Data Science, establishing the needed data use agreements with RWJBH, oversaw the system-wide roll-out of the EPIC EHR system and assisted in the roll-out of research data systems, including OnCore and Deep 6 AI Cohort Builder.
A consummate researcher, Dr. Sonnenberg recently led studies devoted to improving clinical decision-making and providing novel platforms to leverage clinical informatics data through the electronic health record.
THANK YOU, FRANK, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, COLLEGIALITY, AND GRACIOUSNESS! WE WISH YOU ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN YOUR NEXT ADVENTURES!
