Priya Joshi, MD

HS Assistant Clinical Prof

I am the Chief Health Informatics Officer of the San Francisco VA Medical Center and a VA Innovation Ecosystem Fellow. I work in both inpatient and outpatient internal medicine and create digital innovations and clinical programs that equitably improve preventive care. I work closely with researchers, clinicians, and industry to design, evaluate, and implement new digital technology. In 2018, I created an integrated post-discharge clinic to reduce heart failure readmissions through proactive enrollment in hospital at home. In 2020, I created a post-discharge COVID hypoxia monitoring program. In 2022, my informatics team implemented the Foodshare program to delivery groceries to Veterans and their kids across the nation, providing 2500 Veterans and 700 kids over 85,000 days of food. We have created a framework to evaluate technologies based on their return for people by utilizing the concept of a minimal acceptable product focused on human-centered design instead of minimal viable products focused on product design. We are actively working on programs that improve health outcomes, invest in Veteran autonomy in care, reduce staff burnout and workload, and empower purpose. All of our programs and our team focus on the remediation of inequities in care.
