Administrative Core

亚特兰大微系统工程技术中心(ACME POCT)致力于 开发、转换并集成到临床实践中的基于微芯片的医疗技术 应用，特别侧重于心脏、肺、血液和睡眠医学应用的设备。这个 这里描述的ACME POCT的管理核心将提供几个功能。首先，核心将是 负责提供行政结构、组织和领导。ACME POCT的领导层是 佐治亚理工学院电子和纳米技术研究所精心平衡，平均分配 (IEN)、埃默里大学医学院和亚特兰大儿童保健(CHOA)。因此， ACME POCT的合作伙伴是Wilbur Lam，医学博士，Emory/Choa儿科血液学家和生物医学博士 佐治亚理工学院和埃默里大学的工程学教授，具有PoC技术方面的经验 开发(最近FDA批准了一种血液医学设备)，Greg Martin，MD，MSc，他是一名 临床肺科医生，埃默里重症监护科副主任，佐治亚州 CTSA的临床研究网络，以及微/纳米系统工程师兼高管奥利弗·布兰德博士 佐治亚理工学院的Ien主任。此外，行政核心还将提供沟通 在整个ACME POCT中提供支持。通过设计，促进ACME核心之间的通信 POCT，每个PI领导一个核心，以便中心的领导层参与日常工作 ACME POCT的一个主要方面的活动。此外，由于本中心性质复杂， Acme POCT将参加多个会议，以确保不同核心和 PDDP项目。重要的是，计划管理员将出席所有会议，以确保所有核心和 ACME POCT的项目捆绑在一起。此外，还将使用基于网络和社交媒体的工具 传达公告，例如我们的国家年度试点设备开发计划拨款 征集和我们的年度全国PoC会议。最后，行政核心将继续 评估和改进ACME POCT。为此，行政核心将与 领导技术培训和传播核心收集和分析评估数据，以 确定在优化ACME POCT活动对每个核心职能的影响方面面临的挑战。这些数据 将与外部咨询委员会共享，并为持续的质量改进活动服务 内部和伙伴机构，特别是在提高技术质量和效率方面 开发和验证。因此，行政核心的主要职责将是解释 有关ACME POCT性能的信息以及针对更改和改进制定的计划。

The Atlanta Center for Microsystems Engineered Point-of-Care Technologies (ACME POCT) is dedicated to developing, translating, and integrating into clinical practice, microchip-based technologies for medical applications, with a specific focus on devices for heart, lung, blood, and sleep medicine applications. The Administrative Core of ACME POCT described here will provide several functions. First, the Core will be responsible for providing administrative structure, organization, and leadership. The ACME POCT leadership is carefully balanced to be equally distributed at Georgia Tech's Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN), Emory University's School of Medicine, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). Accordingly, the co-PI's of the ACME POCT are Wilbur Lam, MD, PhD, an Emory/CHOA pediatric hematologist and biomedical engineering professor based at both Georgia Tech and Emory with experience in POC technology development (with recent FDA approval of a hematology medical device), Greg Martin, MD, MSc, who is a clinical pulmonologist, Associate Division Director for Critical Care at Emory, and Director of the Georgia CTSA's Clinical Research Network, and Oliver Brand, PhD, a micro/nanosystems engineer and Executive Director of the IEN at Georgia Tech. In addition, the Administrative Core will also provide communication support throughout the ACME POCT. By design, to facilitate communication among the Cores of the ACME POCT, each PI leads one of the Cores such that the leadership of the Center is involved with the day to day activities of a major aspect of the ACME POCT. In addition, due to the complex nature of our Center, the ACME POCT will engage in multiple meetings to ensure cross-communication among the different Cores and the PDDP projects. Importantly, the Program Administrator will attend all meetings to ensure that all Cores and programs of the ACME POCT tie together. Moreover, web-based and social media tools will be used to communicate announcements, such as our national annual Pilot Device Development Program grant solicitations and our Annual National POC Conference. Finally, the Administrative Core will continuously evaluate and improve the ACME POCT. To that end, the Administrative Core will coordinate with the leadership of the Technology Training and Dissemination Core to gather and analyze evaluative data to identify challenges in optimizing the impact of ACME POCT activities across each Core function. These data will be shared with the External Advisory Board and serve for continuous quality improvement activities internally and in partner institutions, including specifically in enhancing quality and efficiency of technology development and validation. Therefore, a primary responsibility of the Administrative Core will be interpreting information about ACME POCT performance and developing plans for changes and improvements.
