Physician-informaticist Jeffrey Hertzberg, M.D., M.S. brings deep understanding and experience to clinical workflow analysis and the data it generates as electronic health records. He harnesses these data to make inferences about the health of individuals and populations with categorical algorithms, statistical methodologies, and machine learning. As a board-certified physician in general internal medicine, he carried a full caseload of clinic, hospital and nursing home patients before completing an NIH/National Library of Medicine research fellowship in medical informatics. Dr. Hertzberg has built informatics infrastructure that led to acquisition for six of his consulting clients. Since 1994 he has led teams developing medical decision support and population health management systems based on traditional statistics, machine learning algorithms, neural network models, and natural language processing. He has provided clinical informatics leadership for rapidly emerging machine learning and artificial intelligence assets, building disease models for atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, opioid use disorder, and other cost-driving clinical conditions, including a heart failure severity progression model that is now patent pending.

Dr. Hertzberg earned his medical degree at New York University, and an MS degree in health informatics at the University of Minnesota, where he also served as adjunct faculty. He completed residency training in internal medicine at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic. A frequent author on topics related to the medical computer sciences, he has lectured at Harvard Medical School, the University of Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic, and the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, among others.

Jeff enjoys biking, travel, and cooking.  In 2000 he was lucky enough to be heard on Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s “The Splendid Table” radio show, an experience which led to eight best-selling bread cookbooks.
