Top School

Tom White is an accomplished healthcare data science leader with 15+ years driving enterprise analytics, data governance, and AI-powered insights to improve quality, equity, and cost across hospitals, payers, and government. As AVP at MedStar Health he leads a multidisciplinary team translating OHDSI-enabled platforms and advanced analytics into deployable clinical best practices and value-based measurement. Earlier roles at CDPHP and New York State delivered measurable ROI—multi-million dollar recoveries, HEDIS improvements, and systems that cut unsafe prescribing in half—while he built widely used open-source tools (Dialogix/LimeSurvey lineage and fMRI research suites) that accelerated hundreds of publications. He combines clinician-level domain knowledge (MD/MA) and deep technical pedigree in software architecture, big data, and MDM, plus P&L and program leadership. Notably, his contributions to LimeSurvey core processing and validation underscore ongoing hands-on engineering alongside strategic leadership.
