Jonathan Gold, MHA, MD
drjgold@yahoo.com
http://drjgold.monument1.jhmi.edu/
Fellowship Objectives: Focused on the development of a consumer oriented electronic health record banking system, the practical needs of the health care provider, and the considered goals of a comprehensive health care strategy.
Background: Summary--Pediatrician with a combination of training and experience in medical informatics, medical quality assurance, and primary care practice.
In 1990 Dr. Gold completed an MD from Ben-Gurion University (Beer Sheva, ISRAEL). Over the next number of years he certified as a pediatrician and also worked in the hospital's quality assurance unit. Upon completion, he worked for Maccabi Health Services (the second largest Israeli HMO) in a dual capacity-both as a primary care pediatrician in the Mitzpe Ramon clinic and as the director of the Medical Quality Assurance Unit for Maccabi's Negev region. (The Negev region includes the southern one-third of Israel; the Negev region has 150,000 members.) His responsibilities for this unit varied and included: (1) directing focused programs (e.g., adult diabetes follow-up, cardiac disease screening, pediatric asthma patient education, winter influenza vaccines for targeted audiences, smoking cessation); (2) risk management for the region; (3) monitoring physician quality indicators in the region (e.g., diabetic patient management, appropriate drug and imaging usage); and (4) serving on the HMO's national Advisory Committee for Pediatric Quality Indicators and Maccabi's Clinical Practice Guideline Committee. In 2002, he completed a Masters of Health Administration.

Sonia has both a masters in public health and a master’s degree in information management and systems. Her goal for his fellowship is to research how informatics can be used in public health. Having spent 2 years in West Africa with the Peace Corps, she is especially interested in public health informatics in developing countries. Lately she has also become interested in architecture, and one of her current projects is to make recommendations for learning technology in a new medical education building for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. This project is giving her the opportunity to see how architects assess requirements for a new building. Her major research is in developing a decision model for choosing the ideal formula for oral rehydration solution, the standard treatment for diarrhea around the world.
Subsequently she was Senior Analyst at Kaiser Permanente, in the Management Information and Analysis Department. Previous experience includes Peace Corps work in West Africa.
