Summary
Daniel Vreeman is a globally recognized leader in health data standards and interoperability, currently serving as Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer and Chief Standards Development Officer at HL7 International and as President of the HL7 FHIR Foundation. A physical therapist turned biomedical informatician, he led LOINC for over a decade—helping it become the open clinical vocabulary used in more than 185 countries—and has advised U.S. federal agencies and national eHealth programs worldwide. His work blends technical standards development, multi-institutional implementations, and rigorous evaluation, and he’s published widely with more than 275 invited lectures and a practical guide to mapping local codes to LOINC. Known for turning complex clinical data problems into pragmatic, standards-based solutions, he has been honored with fellowships and awards that reflect both scholarly and practical impact. An interesting throughline: his clinical training as a DPT informs a user-centered approach to standards that prioritize real-world clinical decision-making and care delivery.
