DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington proposes to establish the Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics: Improving the Public's Health through Information Integration. Partners include the Washington Department of Health, Kitsap County Health District, the Public Health Informatics Institute, and Inland Northwest Health Services. This Center will focus on three research topics: Project 1 (Surveillance Integration and Decision Support) will develop public health surveillance methods within the emerging health information infrastructure. We will: 1) develop methods by which regional health information organizations can enhance public health surveillance; 2) develop and evaluate a probabilistic decision support system classifier for disease surveillance; and 3) investigate the usability of a web survey-assessment system for population tracking and disease reporting. Project 2 (Customizable Knowledge Management Repository System for Prevention: Design, Development, and Evaluation) will develop an interactive digital knowledge management system to support the collection, management, and retrieval of public health documents, data, earning objects, and tools. The focus will be the development of tools, including concept mapping services that will provide rapid access to answers from a variety of key resources, including the "gray literature". The system will focus on the application of natural language processing and information visualization techniques. Components will include a knowledge repository system, integrative web services and a role-based user interface to support access to information resources for enhanced decision-making by practitioners. The long-term goal is to create an environment in which practitioners can pose questions in "plain English" and receive answers to their questions rather than simply a list of possible places to look for answers. Project 3 Supporting Integration: Work Process, Change Management and System Modeling) will: 1) refine and validate an integrated model of public health information technology work; 2) provide a Change Management Toolkit to support public health agencies in making changes to current practice called for by the integrated model; and 3) build a Virtual Public Health Information Technology Environment to serve as a testbed and to explore informatics challenges. These projects are supported by three cores: Administration Core (Core A), Epidemiology and Biostatistics Science Core (Core B), and Technology and Design Science Core (Core C).

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学提议建立公共卫生信息学卓越中心：通过信息整合改善公众健康。合作伙伴包括华盛顿卫生部、基萨普县卫生区、公共卫生信息学研究所和西北内陆卫生服务局。该中心将重点关注三个研究课题：项目1（监测整合和决策支持）将在新兴的卫生信息基础设施中开发公共卫生监测方法。我们将：1）开发区域卫生信息组织可以加强公共卫生监测的方法; 2）开发和评估用于疾病监测的概率决策支持系统分类器; 3）调查网络调查评估系统用于人口跟踪和疾病报告的可用性。项目2（可定制的预防知识管理库系统：设计、开发和评估）将开发一个交互式数字知识管理系统，以支持公共卫生文件、数据、收入对象和工具的收集、管理和检索。重点将是开发工具，包括概念图绘制服务，以便从各种关键资源，包括“灰色文献”中迅速获得答案。该系统将侧重于自然语言处理和信息可视化技术的应用。其组成部分将包括一个知识储存库系统、综合网络服务和一个基于角色的用户界面，以支持获取信息资源，加强从业人员的决策。长期目标是创造一种环境，使从业者能够用“简单的英语”提出问题，并得到问题的答案，而不仅仅是一个可能的地方寻找答案的列表。项目3：支持整合：工作流程、变革管理和系统建模）将：1）完善和验证公共卫生信息技术工作的整合模式; 2）提供变革管理工具包，支持公共卫生机构根据整合模式的要求对现行做法进行变革; 3）建立虚拟公共卫生信息技术环境，作为一个试验平台，探索信息学的挑战。这些项目由三个核心资助：行政核心（核心A），流行病学和生物统计学核心（核心B）和技术和设计科学核心（核心C）。
