美国医疗保健系统正在发生前所未有的变化，原因是医疗信息技术的迅速普及以及国家对多机构研究网络的投资，这些研究网络包括学术中心、医疗保健提供系统和其他医疗系统组件。这种变化的一个例子是Optus Labs，这是一个新的网络“节点”，它将新的合作伙伴、数据和分析技术聚集在一起，将研究成果落实到医疗保健实践中。Optom Labs由Mayo Clinic和Optom于2013年初创立，Optom是UnitedHealth Group旗下的一家商业数据、基础设施服务和护理组织。Optom实验室现在有11名合作者，并拥有一个数据库，其中包含超过1.5亿人的身份信息，该数据库符合1996年的《健康保险可携带性和责任法》(HIPAA)。本文介绍了光学实验室的早期进展。不同的合作者视角与丰富的数据相结合，包括深入的患者和提供者信息，旨在揭示关于疾病、治疗和患者行为的新见解，以指导实践中的变化。从业者参与议程设置并将研究结果转化为实际护理创新，加快了研究成果的实施。此外，来自诊所的反馈循环帮助Optom实验室扩大成功的范围，并在挑战出现时迅速给予关注。
Unprecedented change in the US health care system is being driven by the rapid uptake of health information technology and national investments in multi-institution research networks comprising academic centers, health care delivery systems, and other health system components. An example of this changing landscape is Optum Labs, a novel network "node" that is bringing together new partners, data, and analytic techniques to implement research findings in health care practice. Optum Labs was founded in early 2013 by Mayo Clinic and Optum, a commercial data, infrastructure services, and care organization that is part of UnitedHealth Group. Optum Labs now has eleven collaborators and a database of deidentified information on more than 150 million people that is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. This article describes the early progress of Optum Labs. The combination of the diverse collaborator perspectives with rich data, including deep patient and provider information, is intended to reveal new insights about diseases, treatments, and patients' behavior to guide changes in practice. Practitioners' involvement in agenda setting and translation of findings into practical care innovations accelerates the implementation of research results. Furthermore, feedback loops from the clinic help Optum Labs expand on successes and give quick attention to challenges as they emerge.
