Dr. Kenneth A. Moselle
Director, Applied Clinical Research Unit, Island Health
Dr. Moselle is a registered clinical psychologist with close to 25 years of experience in one of BC’s five regional health authorities (Island Health). Following a 10-year stint in the Institute of Human Development at UC Berkeley, he spent a decade in Malaysia and Singapore carrying out a range of clinical and research activities. He came to work in what was then the Capital Health Region, where in 2001 he secured funding from Health Canada to develop an information system for Victoria downtown core service providers. In 2006 he secured funding from Canada Health Infoway and functioned as project lead and information architect for an electronic health record (EHR) solution for the mental health and substance program area. That project received the Canadian Coach Award for Innovation in the Adoption of Clinical Informatics. Since that time, Dr. Moselle launched and is director of the Applied Clinical Research Unit (ACRU) within Island Health. As Principal Investigator for an ACRU study that entailed cross-border access to data extracted from the Island Health Cerner EHR implementation, Dr. Moselle contended with the substantial challenges around architecting a de-identification solution and implementing a controlled data disclosure environment that together address key challenges around appropriately privacy-protected disclosure of transactional health datasets. In the context of a growing array of partnerships with academic research units, Dr. Moselle and colleagues affiliated with the University of Victoria have formed the Island Health/UVIC Data Science Studio. This group focuses on a suite of projects that all entail access to bodies of high-dimensional data extracted from the Island Health cross-continuum deployment of the EHR.
