NSF Frontiers in Health Information Delivery Workshop

虽然保健信息的数字化和保健中的信息技术应用近年来得到了极大的关注(主要是政府官员对改善保健同时实现更高的成本效益感兴趣)，但患者的关切及其与信息获取有关的需求没有得到类似程度的关注。对于卫生信息系统的作用，公众和卫生信息技术专业人员之间的期望存在差距，因为公众越来越精通计算机和网络。对这一差距进行更深入的思考将有助于澄清挑战，并指出开发提供健康信息的有效信息系统的潜在方法。这一全国性研讨会的主要目标是关注直接向公民和医疗保健提供者提供高质量数字健康信息所涉及的关键挑战。这些挑战涵盖许多领域，包括访问、口译、决策、安全/隐私、评估和经济问题。讲习班的一个目标是建立一个论坛，支持多学科观点，以扩大这一领域的研究范围，确定关键研究主题，并建立可能有帮助的相关知识资源。

Although digitization of health information and IT applications in health care have received significant focus in recent years (mainly from government officials interested in improving care while achieving more cost efficiencies), the concerns of patients and their needs, as they relate to information access, have not received a similar level of attention. There is a gap in expectation with regard to the role of health information systems between the general public, who are increasingly becoming more computer- and Web savvy, and health IT professionals. A deeper consideration of the gap is expected to help clarify the challenges and point to potential means for developing effective information systems that deliver health information.The main goal of this national workshop is to focus on key challenges involved in delivering high quality digital health information directly to citizens and health care providers. The challenges cover many areas encompassing access, interpretation, decision-making, security/privacy, evaluation, and economic issues. A goal of the workshop is to create a forum where multi-disciplinary perspectives are supported to develop a scope for research in this area, identify critical research topics, and establish associated knowledge resources that may be helpful.
