Translational Informatics for Global Health: An Argentina-Oregon Collaboration

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的总体目标是开发一个全球卫生信息学培训计划，结合布宜诺斯艾利斯意大利医院（HIBA）医学信息学部门的现有优势。阿根廷及其与俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）医学信息学与临床流行病学系（DMICE）建立的合作关系，以发展临床和转化研究信息学的新重点。这将通过增强HIBA已经很强的临床信息学项目来实现，其中包括OHSU在临床和转化研究信息学以及生物医学信息学研究方面的额外专业知识。另一个目标是将HIBA建立为生物医学和健康信息学的国际学术领导者，展示了在中等收入国家实现全球健康信息学卓越的途径。该项目将提供三个层次的培训：1.为临床研究人员及其工作人员提供基础生物医学信息学的短期培训，旨在提高他们对临床和转化研究中重要信息学问题的认识。2.临床和转化研究信息学的中级培训，为感兴趣的临床研究者以及HIBA的医学信息学居民提供在线临床研究信息学课程，包括OHSU信息学课程的学生。3.通过主要在OHSU的奖学金式经验，为学术生物医学信息学的未来领导者提供长期培训，然后在HIBA获得再入学赠款，用于该机构在临床和转化研究信息学方面的努力。 公共卫生相关性：随着新兴经济体从发展中国家向发达国家转变，基本卫生保健和公共卫生的优先事项承担了健康和慢性病管理的行为/生活方式方面的额外负担，这两者都得到了信息学的增强。该项目旨在通过信息学培训和研究，扩大阿根廷大型卫生系统的临床和转化研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this project is to develop an informatics training program in global health that combines the existing strengths of the Department of Medical Informatics of Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA). Argentina and its established collaboration with the Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to develop a new focus in clinical and translational research informatics. This will be done by augmenting the already strong program in clinical informatics at HIBA with additional expertise from OHSU in clinical and translational research informatics as well as biomedical Informatics research. An additional goal will be to establish HIBA as an international academic leader in biomedical and health Informatics that demonstrates a pathway to achieving excellence in global health informatics in middle-income countries. The project will provide training at three levels: 1. Short-term training for clinical researchers and their staffs in basic biomedical Informatics with the aim of increasing their awareness of important informatics issues in the conduct of clinical and translational research. 2. Intermediate training in clinical and translational research informatics for interested clinical investigators as well as medical informatics residents at HIBA in the form of a course in clinical research informatics that is offered on-line and includes students from the OHSU Informatics program. 3. Long-term training for future leaders In academic biomedical informatics through a fellowship-style experience based mainly at OHSU followed by re-entry grants at HIBA for in the institution's efforts In clinical and translational research informatics. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE : As emerging economies move from developing to developed status, the priorities for basic health care and public health take on additional burdens of behavioral/lifestyle aspects of health and chronic disease management, both of which are augmented by Informatics. This project aims to expand clinical and translational research in a large Argentine health system through informatics training and research.
