Bilal Hashmat (born 1969) is a Pakistani-American IT engineer and researcher, working primarily in the electronic health record (EHR) industry. Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Hashmat studied economics at City University of New York between 1988 and 1992. Hashmat worked with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to develop usability guidelines for patient safety, later adopted by the American Medical Informatics Association.[1][2]
