Abstract:  

In 1992, I completed a dissertation on “THOMAS: A Bayesian computer-based approach to the physician's use of the clinical research literature.” That dissertation was my initial foray into the world of computable science. In this presentation, I will review my subsequent activities and link them to current efforts in representing evidence in FHIR, in articulating desiderata for FAIR resources,  in performing distributed research, such as in OHDSI, in performing centralized research in the National COVID Cohort Collaborative, and in analyzing Real World Data. The result is a vision of computable science that goes beyond the current paradigm of reproducible science to a framework that supports a fully informatics-supported cycle of scientific discovery and dissemination.
