NSF Frontiers in Health Information Delivery Workshop

虽然近年来卫生信息数字化和信息技术在卫生保健中的应用受到了极大的关注（主要来自于对改善护理同时实现更高成本效益感兴趣的政府官员），但患者的关注及其需求，因为它们与信息获取有关，并没有得到类似的关注。越来越精通计算机和网络的公众与卫生信息技术专业人员之间对卫生信息系统的作用的期望存在差距。对差距的更深入的考虑预计将有助于澄清的挑战，并指出潜在的手段，为发展有效的信息系统，提供健康信息。本次国家研讨会的主要目标是集中在提供高质量的数字健康信息直接向公民和医疗保健提供者的关键挑战。挑战涵盖许多领域，包括访问、解释、决策、安全/隐私、评估和经济问题。研讨会的目标是创建一个论坛，支持多学科的观点，以开发在这一领域的研究范围，确定关键的研究课题，并建立相关的知识资源，可能是有用的。

Although digitization of health information and IT applications in health care have received significant focus in recent years (mainly from government officials interested in improving care while achieving more cost efficiencies), the concerns of patients and their needs, as they relate to information access, have not received a similar level of attention. There is a gap in expectation with regard to the role of health information systems between the general public, who are increasingly becoming more computer- and Web savvy, and health IT professionals. A deeper consideration of the gap is expected to help clarify the challenges and point to potential means for developing effective information systems that deliver health information.The main goal of this national workshop is to focus on key challenges involved in delivering high quality digital health information directly to citizens and health care providers. The challenges cover many areas encompassing access, interpretation, decision-making, security/privacy, evaluation, and economic issues. A goal of the workshop is to create a forum where multi-disciplinary perspectives are supported to develop a scope for research in this area, identify critical research topics, and establish associated knowledge resources that may be helpful.
