The Emory School of Nursing’s Center for Data Science was founded in 2015 by Dean Linda McCauley, with the hiring of renowned biostatistician Dr. Vicki Hertzberg, with the mission of unlocking the power of data to help solve nursing’s most challenging problems.
Since then, the Center has grown into a global hub for nurse-led innovation. The Center for Data Science™ is helping to digitally enable nurses at every level of preparation in the 21st Century. Emory is training an expanding pipeline of nurse leaders in emerging areas like data science, AI, machine learning, and design thinking, and we are sharing with other nursing schools the necessary tools to implement informatics standards like those laid out in the 2021 AACN Essentials.
