Brian Young, MD, MBA, MSc

Brian Young, MD, MBA, MSc. most recently functioned as System (National) Physician Informaticist in the corporate CMO’s office with CommonSpirit Health— the largest integrated non-profit health system in the US— supporting analytics needs and operationalizing advanced analytics and data science back into clinical and operations workflow for clinical institute governance groups (Hospital Medicine, Women and Infants, Palliative Care, Pharmacy); a strategic capability differentiator for learning health system value. Prior to that role, Dr. Young was a physician trainer for Duke Health System’s Epic EMR implementation (five go-live waves over 2 ½ years)—resulting in a deep dive experience in inpatient, ambulatory, and transplant application technology into workflow, as well as leading optimization labs, providing at-the-elbow and command center support during go-lives.

Dr. Young received his MD and BS degrees from Wake Forest, a Masters in Predictive Analytics (MSc) from Northwestern University, and an MBA degree from the University of Cincinnati. Previously, Dr. Young practiced as an emergency room physician for 13 years following both surgical (2yrs) and internal medicine/primary care (3yrs) residency training. He completed the Research Informatics Innovator curriculum training at EPIC’s corporate campus, following completion of the Duke Health Epic EMR implementation. He was board certified in Internal Medicine in 1997 and is currently ABAIM certified (American Board of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine).

Dr. Young is passionate about removing friction, fragmentation, and information asymmetry in the patient experience of care—the third aim of the Quadruple Aim framework. His experience and education cited above provide the necessarily unique and broad understanding (across multiple workflows, IT capabilities, service lines, and clinical operational areas) required to deliver on Hygia’s value proposition leveraging state-of-the-art AI technology for the patients and client verticals we serve.
