Research in Health and Clinical Informatics
By analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating systems and interventions to advance individual and population health outcomes, improve patient care, increase access to care, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship, health and clinical informatics transforms medicine and health care.
Reusing clinical data, text mining and natural language processing, information retrieval (search), people and organizational issues, health information exchange, telemedicine/telehealth, data quality, patient decision-making and decision aids, informatics for chronic disease management, and electronic health record simulation for patient safety are some of the research specialties in the fields of health and clinical.
Some grant-funded projects include:
1- Clinical and Genetic Analysis of Retinopathy of Prematurity.
2- Semi-structured Information Retrieval in Clinical Text for Cohort Identification.
3- Measuring and Improving Data Quality for Clinical Quality Measure Reliability.
4- 3x3DQA will lead data consumers through a logical and coherent exploration of the quality of a dataset, making it easier to decide whether or not the dataset is of sufficient quality.
5- Provider Order Entry Team: Computerized Provider Order Entry.
6- Modeling and Optimization of Clinical Processes Using EHR Data.
7- EHR Solutions for Accurate Reporting of Data on Inter-professional ICU Rounds.
8- Creation and Validation of a Training Toolkit to Ensure Safe and Proficient Use of EHR by Medical Scribes.
9- Text Mining Pipeline to Accelerate Systematic Reviews in Evidence-Based Medicine.
