CREATING THE UWHSC INTEGRATED INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE

华盛顿大学健康科学中心的总体目标是 （UWHSC）IAIMS规划和实施过程旨在创建一个 全面、综合的信息访问和管理网络， 将补充和加强临床，研究，行政和 UWHSC及其附属机构的教育效果， 程序. 这个网络为研究人员，教育工作者，临床医生， 图书馆员、学生、管理人员和工作人员， 获取他们所需的信息，以实现最佳运作， 用户、资源或系统的物理位置，或 信息包的格式。 这一愿景的核心是 承认一个人，在给定的一天，执行各种 在健康科学中心的角色。 这些角色包括临床 从决策到研究，从行政任务到教学， 学习 在一项任务中，个人可能是专家，而在另一项任务中， 新手 我们设计的集成系统必须支持这种多样性， 角色、职责和技能水平。 我们计划的特点是 过程包括：仔细研究华盛顿大学的制度环境及其 利用IAIMS其他机构的经验， 教师，图书管理员和管理员的参与，一个密集的 教育过程，注重人而不是技术。 我们 建议丰富和扩展我们的综合信息系统 通过智能系统的发展， 接口、数据库的网络可用性和其他信息 资源，培训教职员工和学生使用该技术， 并通过创建工具，使用户能够在我们越来越多的 电子环境。 支持我们广泛的学术健康科学信息的具体目标 系统集成目标： 1. 建立支持和促进的组织关系 综合获取卫生信息，特别是包括 学校、医疗中心、健康科学部门的倡议 图书馆和信息中心，大学计算办公室和 通信和其他附属实体。 2. 扩大技术基础设施，包括网络和相关 服务 3. 促进利用相关的高质量数据库，包括图像数据库， 全文，书目和数字，以支持有效的 临床、研究和教育决策。 4. 创建有效的信息检索和管理接口， 用于高质量临床、研究和教育决策的工具。 5. 促进教师发展的有效应用 研究、教育和临床护理中的信息技术。 6. 创造教育计划和培训机会， 为健康科学学生有效地使用信息技术。 7. 制定学术计划，以促进研究，开发和 健康科学图书馆和信息管理培训，临床 决策支持、图像管理和综合信息系统 设计 8. 确保有足够的核心资源来支持整个中心的健康科学 信息系统集成。 9. 确定、描述并与其他机构合作， 供应商和联邦机构，制定信息政策的方法 包括保密性、所有权、版权和参与性等问题 使用，因为它们涉及各种信息格式。 10.支持地方、全州、区域和国家的发展 高性能计算网络。 11.评估和评价我们的成就和缺点，并分享我们的 与其他机构的调查结果。 三个模型为我们的实现提供了框架和信息 过程 IDEAL（Integrated Databases for Enhancing Academic） 学习），我们的教育模式，MIND（医学信息网络化 数据库）、医疗中心系统集成模型，以及 UWCARNET（UW临床，行政，研究和教育导航 和赋权工具），其中规定， 接口、工具和数据库以及网络服务器环境， 向用户提供和/或引导用户访问适当的信息资源， 数据库。

The over-all goal of the University of Washington Health Sciences Center (UWHSC) IAIMS planning and implementation process is to create a comprehensive, integrated information access and management network that will complement and enhance the clinical, research, administrative and educational effectiveness of the UWHSC and its affiliated institutions and programs. This network provides researchers, educators, clinicians, librarians, students, administrators and staff with convenient and timely access to the information they need to function optimally, regardless of the physical location of the user, the resource or the system, or the format of the information package. Central to this vision is the recognition that an individual, in a given day, performs a variety of roles in the health sciences center. These roles range from clinical decision making to research to administrative tasks to teaching and learning. In one task the individual may be an expert, while in another, a novice. The integrated systems we design must support this diversity of roles, responsibilities and skill levels. The hallmarks of our planning process include: careful study of the UW institutional environment and its needs, utilization of the experiences of other IAIMS institutions, broad faculty, librarian and administrator participation, an intensive educational process, and a focus on people instead of technology. We propose to enrich and extend our integrated information systems infrastructure through the development of intelligent systems interface(s), network availability of databases and other information resources, training of faculty, staff and students to use the technology, and by creation of tools to empower the users in our increasingly electronic environment. Specific aims in support of our broad academic health sciences information systems integration goal: 1. Establish organizational relationships that support and facilitate integrated access to health information, specifically embracing systems initiatives of the Schools, the Medical Centers, the Health Sciences Library and Information Center, the University Office of Computing and Communications, and other affiliated entities. 2. Expand the technical infrastructure including the network and related services. 3. Promote access to relevant, high-quality databases, including image, full-text, bibliographic and numeric, in order to support effective clinical, research and educational decision making. 4. Create effective information retrieval and management interfaces and tools for quality clinical, research and educational decision making. 5. Promote faculty development in the application of effective information technology in research, education, and clinical care. 6. Create educational programs and training opportunities in the effective use of information technology for health science students. 7. Develop an academic program to promote research, development and training in health sciences library and information management, clinical decision support, image management and integrated information systems design. 8. Ensure adequate core resources to support Health Sciences Center-wide information systems integration. 9. Identify, describe, and in partnership with other institutions, vendors and federal agencies, develop approaches to information policy issues including confidentiality, ownership, copyright, and participatory use, as they relate to a variety of information formats. 10. Support the development of local, statewide, regional and national high performance computing networks. 11. Evaluate and assess our accomplishments and shortcomings and share our findings with other institutions. Three models provide the framework for and inform our implementation process. The are: IDEAL (Integrated Databases for Enhancing Academic Learning), our education model, MIND (Medical Information Networked Databases), the Medical Centers model for systems integration, and UWCARNET (UW Clinical, Administrative, Research and Education Navigation and Empowerment Tools), which provides for both the development of interface(s), tools and databases and a network server environment to deliver and/or direct users to appropriate information resources and databases.
