Biography

Dr. Melnick completed his medical degree at the Georgetown University School of Medicine and his emergency medicine residency at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Melnick's research focuses on improving EHR usability as a means to achieve the quadruple aim to improve healthcare delivery. He is currently launching a five-year National Institute on Drug Abuse R33 award as Principal Investigator of the ADAPT project to refine and evaluate the uptake, usability, and equity of a nationally disseminated multicomponent clinical decision support intervention previously developed by his team to increase treatment initiation in the emergency care of people with opioid use disorder. That previous tool was a five-year UG3/UH3 award to develop, disseminate, implement, and test a user-centered decision support system to facilitate ED-initiation of buprenorphine for individuals suffering from opioid use disorder. Dr. Melnick is in his fifth year of funding by the American Medical Association to study EHR use and its relationship to physician professional burnout and retention. From 2013-2018, Dr. Melnick completed a five-year K08 career development award with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. As the Interim Research Section Chief and Program Director for the Yale/VA Clinical Informatics Fellowship and the Informatics Track for the Yale School of Medicine Master of Health Science Degree Program degree, Dr. Melnick plays an active role in education and research mentorship for junior faculty, informatics fellows, emergency medicine residents, and Yale School of Medicine students. Double board-certified in Emergency Medicine and Clinical Informatics, Dr. Melnick works clinically as an attending physician in the Emergency Department at Yale-New Haven Hospital’s York Street and Shoreline campuses.
