INDIANA CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATICS (ICEPHI)

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议建立印第安纳州公共卫生信息学卓越中心（ICEPHI），以发展和保持公共卫生方面的卓越研究、教育和实践。通过以下八个强有力的组成部分之间的合作，我们能够实现这一目标：1) Regenstrief研究所，世界知名的医学信息学研究机构；2)全国最先进的健康信息交换中心；3)波利斯中心，以社区为基础的公共卫生研究和地理信息技术应用的全国领导者；4)波利斯中心的社会资产和脆弱性指标，全国领先的社区信息系统之一；5)印第安纳州卫生部门，6)马里昂县卫生部门；7)印第安纳大学公共卫生系，8)印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校的一个独特的数据可视化小组。ICEPHI核心将为本CoE申请中描述的两项最先进的公共卫生举措——公共卫生决策支持的适应性周转文件和增强支持公共卫生实践的基本基础设施能力——提供基础。ICEPHI核心将汇集两个项目的主要人员以及地方和州领导人，以激励和支持学术界以及州和地方政府公共卫生从业人员的新应用。与印第安纳大学和普渡大学的研究生项目合作，ICEPHI将帮助教育和培训新的公共卫生信息学研究人员和从业人员。我们的总体目标是通过多学科基础设施的发展来推进公共卫生信息学：创新研究、教育和实践的场所。项目一将部署适应性周转文件系统，以支持依赖于公共卫生和临床护理之间协调的重要公共卫生职能，如新生儿筛查和免疫跟踪与预测。项目二的新的地理空间和社区数据基础设施将推动公共卫生的科学和实践。通过所有这些多学科活动，我们期望ICEPHI核心能够推进公共卫生知识库，并实施和评估新的信息学活动，以改善个人和社区的健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to create an Indiana Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics (ICEPHI) that would develop and maintain preeminent research, education and practice in public health. We are in a position to accomplish this goal through collaboration among these eight strong components: 1) Regenstrief Institute, a world-renowned medical informatics research group, 2) the nation's most advanced health information exchange, 3) the Polis Center, a national leader in community-based and public health research and applications using geographic information technologies, 4) the Polis Center's Social Assets and Vulnerabilities Indicators, one of the nation's leading community information systems, 5) Indiana State Health Department, 6) Marion County Health Department, 7) the Indiana University Department of Public Health, and 8) a unique data visualization group at Indiana University Bloomington. The ICEPHI Core will provide a foundation for the two state-of-the-art public health initiatives - Adaptive Turnaround Documents for Public Health Decision Support and Enhancing Basic Infrastructure Capabilities that Support Public Health Practice ~ described in this CoE application. The ICEPHI Core will bring together the key personnel from the two projects, as well as local and state leaders, to stimulate and to support new applications from academia and from public health practitioners in state and local government. In collaboration with graduate programs at Indiana and Purdue Universities, the ICEPHI will help educate and train new public health informatics researchers and practitioners. Our overall goal is to advance public health informatics through the development of a multidisciplinary infrastructure: a locus for innovative research, education and practice. Project One wil deploy Adaptive Turnaround Document systems to support important public health functions that depend on coordination between public health and clinical care, such as newborn screening and immunization tracking and forecasting. Project Two's new geo-spatial and community data infrastructure will advance the science and practice of public health. Through all of these multidisciplinary activities, we expect the ICEPHI Core to advance the public health knowledge base and to implement and evaluate new informatics activities to improve the health of individuals and communities.
