IAIMS PLANNING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

信息管理的长期计划已经 为健康中心的医院和图书馆制定， 匹兹堡大学 这些计划的主要组成部分 已经被执行了。 其中包括建立一个 生物医学信息学办公室指导 健康科学信息管理系统 环境，建立工作队， 机构信息政策，正式调查的需要， 和主要卫生中心医院的资源， 校园范围光纤通信的实施 将卫生中心的医院与 学术校园与健康学校和图书馆 科学，以及健康科学图书馆的自动化。 在 此外，匹兹堡大学一直是 在过去的15年里，生物医学信息学的研究。 这些程序中的大多数对应于 综合学术信息管理系统（IAIMS） 1984年，国家图书馆宣布， 药 然而，缺乏的一个主要因素是， 全面的教育计划。 该项目将重点 有两个主要目标：（1）制定一项教育计划， 将与现有的计划相结合，以产生一个全面的IAIMS 健康中心的战略规划文件;（2） 发展/促进与下列方面有关的教育活动： 生物医学信息学 生物医学教育办公室 将建立信息学，以协调和协助 开展项目活动。

Long range plans for information management have been formulated for the hospitals and libraries of the Health Center at the University of Pittsburgh. Major components of these plans have already been carried out. These include the creation of an Office of Biomedical Informatics to guide the development of information management systems in the Health Sciences environment, the establishment of task forces to define institutional information policies, a formal survey of the needs and resources of the main Health Center hospitals, the implementation of a campus wide fiberoptic telecommunications systems linking the hospitals of the Health Center with the Academic Campus and the Schools and Libraries of the Health Sciences, and the automation of the Health Sciences Libraries. In addition, the University of Pittsburgh has been a center for research in biomedical informatics for the past fifteen years. Most of these programs correspond to the elements of an Integrated Academic Information Management System (IAIMS) as outlined in the 1984 announcement by the National Library of Medicine. A major element that is lacking, however, is a comprehensive educational plan. This proposed project will focus on two main goals: (1) development of an educational plan that will be integrated with existing plans to produce an overall IAIMS strategic planning document for the Health Center; and (2) development/promotion of educational activities related to biomedical informatics. An Office of Education for Biomedical Informatics will be established to coordinate and assist in implementation of project activities.
