Mollie Hobensack, PhD

Dr. Mollie Hobensack is a National Library of Medicine Postdoctoral Fellow supported by the Biomedical Informatics Training Grant (T15LM007450). Her research focuses on leveraging applied clinical informatics and electronic health record (EHR) data to support nurses in delivering patient-centered care for older adults.

Dr. Hobensack began her career on a geriatrics medical-surgical unit before pursuing her PhD at Columbia University School of Nursing. Her dissertation explored how social factors extracted from narrative notes using natural language processing could be integrated into machine learning models to predict hospitalizations among older adults in home healthcare. During her doctoral studies, she developed a strong interest in implementing and evaluating nursing informatics tools in clinical practice. Following her PhD, she served as Clinical Program Manager of Quality and Informatics in the Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System. In this role, she collaborated with frontline clinicians to design EHR tools and dashboards to track key performance indicators and advance quality improvement initiatives.

Through her postdoctoral training, Dr. Hobensack aims to develop a synergistic program of research at the intersection of clinical workflows, operational needs, and applied clinical informatics to enhance the nursing delivery of patient-centered care for older adults.
