March 2009

Conference
Topic: Review and Discussion of the ARRA Health IT legislation
Speaker: Peter J. Embi, MD, MS
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Director for Health Informatics
University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center
Date & Time: Friday, March 13, 2009
3:00pm-4:00pm
Location: Department of Public Health Sciences, Large Conference Room, Rm. 4205
Stetson Square Office Building, 260 Stetson St, Fourth Floor, Suite 4200.
http://www.uc.edu/chi/contact.html
  Description The focus of this session will be a review the Health IT portions of the recently passed American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) legislation. Dr. Embi will present an overview of the HIT portion of the Act and then open it up for attendees to discuss plans for pursuing current and anticipated funding opportunities as appropriate. The main goals are to: (1) assure members of our Health IT/Informatics community are aware of the ARRA’s Health IT opportunities, (2) give us all an opportunity to learn what each other is considering/planning to pursue to avoid inadvertent conflicting proposals, and (3) identify opportunities for collaboration to the extent that they strengthen our planned proposals.
 

Jaunary 2009

Conference
Topic: Establishing a Clinical Informatics Collaboratory at UC
Speaker: Peter J. Embi, MD, MS
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Director for Health Informatics
University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center
Date & Time: Friday, January 16, 2009
2:00pm-4:00pm

Stetson Square Office Building, 260 Stetson St, Fourth Floor, Suite 4200.
http://www.uc.edu/chi/contact.html
  Description As the state of health information technology resources matures across our campus and the Cincinnati region, there is a growing opportunity and demand for innovation and the application of clinical informatics principles and approaches to fully reap the benefits of these investments. The UC CHI Clinical Informatics Collaboratory will provide a venue for discussing, designing, and executing on the innovative solutions to real-world clinical, research, and public health issues by applying state-of-the-art health informatics approaches. In the process, we expect to advance the practice of medicine and the science of biomedical and health informatics. Please join us to be a part of this group which will involved practitioners, operational IT professionals, and biomedical/health informatics academicians.

March 2008

Conference
Topic: Challenges and Opportunities in Translational Research Informatics
Speaker: Philip R. O. Payne, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics, The Ohio State University
Translational Research Informatics Architect, The OSU Medical Center
Date & Time: Friday, March 21, 2008
2:00pm-3:00pm
Location: Institute for the Study of Health, Large Conference Room, Rm. 4205
Stetson Square Office Building, 260 Stetson St, Fourth Floor, Suite 4200.
http://www.uc.edu/chi/contact.html
Abstract: The rapidly emerging field of translational research informatics focuses on the development and application of informatics theories and methods in order to overcome translational blocks between: 1) basic science discoveries and the design of clinical studies; 2) the findings generated by clinical studies and community-accepted practice guidelines; and 3) observations generated via population-based studies and novel basic science hypotheses. Throughout this broad spectrum of translational blocks, common biomedical informatics opportunities and challenges can be found, including: 1) the design of data repositories and electronic data interchange mechanisms capable of managing distributed, high-throughput, multi-dimensional data; 2) the implementation of tools that can support reasoning upon the contents of large-scale data repositories, in order to discover and evaluate high-order hypotheses (such as those associated with phenotype-to-biomarker relationships); and 3) the delivery of highly-usable presentation models that empower targeted end-users to interpret and understand dense or complex collections of information. This presentation will provide an overview of the practical implications of the preceding challenges and opportunities, accompanied by descriptions of exemplary research and development efforts currently underway within the Laboratory for Translational Research Computing at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
