Synopsis
Dr Derek Hoy, who sadly died in 2012, was a nurse, an informatics specialist and visionary, an academic and a member of BCS Health and Care Scotland.
In his honour we established a Memorial Lecture where we invite Derek’s colleagues, innovative thinkers, and influential figures to share their thoughts and help us shape the future taking account of Derek’s legacy.
Through his projects, Dr. Derek Hoy exemplified the importance of collaboration to ensure that the expertise or relevant stakeholders informed the development of health informatics innovations.
In 2024 the memorial lecture will be given by Professor Suzanne Bakken, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, FIAHSI, the Alumni Professor of Nursing and Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University.
In this lecture, Dr. Bakken will use the framework of Epistemic Injustice - a wrong done to individuals in their capacity as knowers - to reflect upon the challenges posed by more recent innovations such as chatbots, generative AI, predictive models, and phenotyping algorithms. She will also use examples from her program of research to illustrate mitigating strategies to address epistemic injustice.
