DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application requests support for the annual meeting, the Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE) for years 2011-2013. There is increasing awareness that information systems and technology have a major role to play in the transformation of healthcare. Health information technologies (IT) in the form of electronic medical records, telemedicine, remote monitoring devices, personal health records, etc. offer the promise to positively influence quality and patient safety, and reduce healthcare costs. With the recent passing of the HITECH Act, there is considerable momentum behind incorporating IT into every aspect of the healthcare system. Yet, significant research questions and challenges remain regarding design, implementation, utilization, and evaluation of health IT. Much of the existing research on health IT has been conducted within narrow academic silos with limited cross-fertilization. The specific aims of WHITE include: (1) to build the foundation for a multidisciplinary health IT research community by gathering researchers from medical informatics, computer science, public health, business, and economics; (2) provide a forum for leading researchers to disseminate cutting-edge findings and knowledge; (3) afford policymakers and practitioners the opportunity to shape the evolving health IT research agenda, (4) develop the next generation of health IT researchers. WHITE is hosted by the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS) at the University of Maryland, College Park. The inaugural workshop was held on Oct 8-9, 2010, in Washington DC. The first conference had 90 participants from 49 leading research institutes including Harvard, MIT, CMU, Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, University of Minnesota, and Arizona State University. The conference also attracted attendees from congressional and government agencies, as well as industry practitioners, including CBO, ONC, NIH, AHRQ, RWJ, HIMSS, Intermountain Healthcare, and Duke Medical Center. Selected presentations and discussions were posted on the conference website and available to the public upon request free of charge. We hope to build on the workshop's initial success and are seeking funding for the annual conferences for the next three years (2011-2013). The focus of WHITE is directly linked to the mission of AHRQ to improve healthcare quality via information technology. WHITE will generate synergies arising from an inter-disciplinary perspective which can lead to deeper understanding of the design solutions and impacts of health IT. Additionally, WHITE will facilitate needed collaborations between academia, government (including ONC), and industry to accelerate the diffusion of health IT throughout the healthcare system.

描述（由申请人提供）：此资助申请要求支持年度会议，卫生信息技术和经济学研讨会（白色）2011-2013年。人们越来越意识到，信息系统和技术在医疗保健转型中发挥着重要作用。电子病历、远程医疗、远程监控设备、个人健康记录等形式的健康信息技术（IT）有望对质量和患者安全产生积极影响，并降低医疗保健成本。随着HITECH法案最近的通过，将IT纳入医疗保健系统的各个方面的势头相当强劲。然而，重大的研究问题和挑战仍然是关于设计，实施，利用和评估的卫生IT. Most现有的研究卫生IT已经进行了狭窄的学术筒仓有限的交叉施肥。白色的具体目标包括：（1）通过聚集医学信息学，计算机科学，公共卫生，商业和经济学的研究人员，为多学科的健康IT研究社区奠定基础;（2）为领先的研究人员提供一个论坛，以传播前沿的发现和知识;（3）为决策者和从业者提供塑造不断发展的卫生信息技术研究议程的机会;（4）培养下一代卫生信息技术研究人员。白色由马里兰州大学帕克分校的健康信息和决策系统中心（CHIDS）主办。首届研讨会于2010年10月8日至9日在华盛顿举行。第一次会议有来自49个主要研究机构的90名与会者，包括哈佛、麻省理工学院、卡内基梅隆大学、约翰霍普金斯、宾夕法尼亚大学、明尼苏达大学和亚利桑那州立大学。会议还吸引了来自国会和政府机构的与会者，以及行业从业者，包括CBO，ONC，NIH，AHRQ，RWJ，HIMSS，Intermountain Healthcare和杜克医疗中心。选定的发言和讨论张贴在会议网站上，公众可索取免费提供。我们希望在讲习班初步成功的基础上再接再厉，并正在为今后三年（2011-2013年）的年度会议寻求资金。白色的重点与AHRQ通过信息技术提高医疗质量的使命直接相关。白色将从跨学科的角度产生协同效应，从而加深对医疗IT设计解决方案和影响的理解。此外，白色将促进学术界、政府（包括ONC）和行业之间的必要合作，以加速医疗IT在整个医疗系统中的传播。
