Translational Informatics for Global Health: An Argentina-Oregon Collaboration

描述(由申请者提供)：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医学信息学系(HiBA)的现有优势。阿根廷及其与俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)医学信息学和临床流行病学系(DMICE)已建立的合作，以开发临床和翻译研究信息学的新重点。这将通过在临床和翻译研究信息学以及生物医学信息学研究方面增加OHSU在临床信息学方面的专业知识来加强Hiba已经很强大的临床信息学课程。另一个目标是将HIBA确立为生物医学和健康信息学领域的国际学术领先者，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.对临床研究人员及其工作人员进行基本生物医学信息学方面的短期培训，目的是提高他们对进行临床和转译研究中的重要信息学问题的认识。2.在HIBA为感兴趣的临床研究人员和医学信息学住院医生提供临床和转化性研究信息学的中级培训，形式为在线提供的临床研究信息学课程，包括OHSU信息学课程的学生。3.通过主要以OHSU为基础的研究金形式的经历，然后在HIBA重新获得赠款，为未来的学术生物医学信息学领导人提供长期培训，以支持该机构在临床和转化性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转向发达国家，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，信息学加强了这两方面的工作。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性研究。

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.
