Physicians who practice Clinical Informatics collaborate with other health care and information technology professionals to analyze, design, implement and evaluate information and communication systems that enhance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. Clinical Informaticians use their knowledge of patient care combined with their understanding of informatics concepts, methods, and tools to: assess information and knowledge needs of health care professionals and patients; characterize, evaluate, and refine clinical processes; develop, implement, and refine clinical decision support systems; and lead or participate in the procurement, customization, development, implementation, management, evaluation, and continuous improvement of clinical information systems.

Common questions
Why is Clinical Informatics Physician a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 25 NPIs list Clinical Informatics Physician as primary taxonomy across 15 states (peak New York, 5). That is 622nd of 688 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Do the few Clinical Informatics Physician NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 2 paid Clinical Informatics Physician physicians totaling $440 (3 payments; average $220, 355th of 470 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.
How much Part D prescribing does this specialty do?
Among Clinical Informatics Physician NPIs, 5 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 703 claims and $75K drug cost per prescriber; 132nd of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
