CREATING THE UWHSC INTEGRATED INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE

华盛顿大学健康科学中心的总体目标 (UWHSC)IAIMS的规划和实施过程是创建一个 全面、集成的信息访问和管理网络， 将补充和加强临床、研究、管理和 UWHSC及其附属机构的教育成效和 程序。这个网络为研究人员、教育工作者、临床医生、 为图书馆员、学生、管理人员和工作人员提供方便和及时的 访问他们以最佳方式运行所需的信息，无论 用户、资源或系统的物理位置或 信息包的格式。这一愿景的核心是 认识到一个人在给定的一天里，表现出各种 在健康科学中心的角色。这些角色的范围从临床 教学管理任务研究的决策 学习。在一个任务中，个人可能是专家，而在另一个任务中， 一个新手。我们设计的集成系统必须支持这种多样性 角色、职责和技能水平。我们计划的标志 过程包括：仔细研究威斯康星州的制度环境及其 需求，利用其他IAIMS机构的经验，广泛 教职员工、图书馆员和管理人员的密集参与 教育过程，注重人而不是技术。我们 建议丰富和扩展我们的综合信息系统 通过开发智能系统进行基础设施建设 界面(S)、网络数据库可用性等信息 资源，培训教职员工和学生使用这项技术， 并通过创建工具来增强用户在我们日益增长的 电子环境。 支持我们广泛的学术健康科学信息的具体目标 系统集成目标： 1.建立支持和促进的组织关系 综合获取卫生信息，特别是采用各种系统 学校、医学中心和健康科学的倡议 图书馆和信息中心，大学计算和信息办公室 通信，以及其他附属实体。 2.扩大技术基础设施，包括网络和相关 服务。 3.促进获取相关的高质量数据库，包括图像、 全文、书目和数字，以支持有效 临床、研究和教育决策。 4.创建有效的信息检索和管理界面， 用于高质量临床、研究和教育决策的工具。 5.在应用中促进教师发展的有效性 信息技术在研究、教育和临床护理中的应用。 6.创建教育计划和培训机会 有效利用信息技术为健康科学专业学生服务。 7.制定学术计划，以促进研究、开发和 健康科学图书馆和信息管理、临床培训 决策支持、图像管理和综合信息系统 设计。 8.确保有足够的核心资源来支持整个健康科学中心 信息系统集成。 9.确定、描述并与其他机构合作， 供应商和联邦机构，制定信息政策的方法 问题包括机密性、所有权、版权和参与性 使用，因为它们与各种信息格式相关。 10.支持地方、全州、区域和国家发展 高性能计算网络。 11.评估和评估我们的成就和不足，并分享我们的 与其他机构的调查结果。 三个模型为我们的实施提供了框架并提供了指导 进程。The ARE：IDEAL(增强学术研究的综合数据库 学习)，我们的教育模式，心灵(医学信息网络化 数据库)、用于系统集成的医疗中心模型以及 UWCARNET(UW临床、管理、研究和教育导航 和授权工具)，这两个工具都提供了 界面(S)、工具和数据库以及网络服务器环境 向用户提供和/或引导用户访问适当的信息资源 数据库。

The over-all goal of the University of Washington Health Sciences Center (UWHSC) IAIMS planning and implementation process is to create a comprehensive, integrated information access and management network that will complement and enhance the clinical, research, administrative and educational effectiveness of the UWHSC and its affiliated institutions and programs. This network provides researchers, educators, clinicians, librarians, students, administrators and staff with convenient and timely access to the information they need to function optimally, regardless of the physical location of the user, the resource or the system, or the format of the information package. Central to this vision is the recognition that an individual, in a given day, performs a variety of roles in the health sciences center. These roles range from clinical decision making to research to administrative tasks to teaching and learning. In one task the individual may be an expert, while in another, a novice. The integrated systems we design must support this diversity of roles, responsibilities and skill levels. The hallmarks of our planning process include: careful study of the UW institutional environment and its needs, utilization of the experiences of other IAIMS institutions, broad faculty, librarian and administrator participation, an intensive educational process, and a focus on people instead of technology. We propose to enrich and extend our integrated information systems infrastructure through the development of intelligent systems interface(s), network availability of databases and other information resources, training of faculty, staff and students to use the technology, and by creation of tools to empower the users in our increasingly electronic environment. Specific aims in support of our broad academic health sciences information systems integration goal: 1. Establish organizational relationships that support and facilitate integrated access to health information, specifically embracing systems initiatives of the Schools, the Medical Centers, the Health Sciences Library and Information Center, the University Office of Computing and Communications, and other affiliated entities. 2. Expand the technical infrastructure including the network and related services. 3. Promote access to relevant, high-quality databases, including image, full-text, bibliographic and numeric, in order to support effective clinical, research and educational decision making. 4. Create effective information retrieval and management interfaces and tools for quality clinical, research and educational decision making. 5. Promote faculty development in the application of effective information technology in research, education, and clinical care. 6. Create educational programs and training opportunities in the effective use of information technology for health science students. 7. Develop an academic program to promote research, development and training in health sciences library and information management, clinical decision support, image management and integrated information systems design. 8. Ensure adequate core resources to support Health Sciences Center-wide information systems integration. 9. Identify, describe, and in partnership with other institutions, vendors and federal agencies, develop approaches to information policy issues including confidentiality, ownership, copyright, and participatory use, as they relate to a variety of information formats. 10. Support the development of local, statewide, regional and national high performance computing networks. 11. Evaluate and assess our accomplishments and shortcomings and share our findings with other institutions. Three models provide the framework for and inform our implementation process. The are: IDEAL (Integrated Databases for Enhancing Academic Learning), our education model, MIND (Medical Information Networked Databases), the Medical Centers model for systems integration, and UWCARNET (UW Clinical, Administrative, Research and Education Navigation and Empowerment Tools), which provides for both the development of interface(s), tools and databases and a network server environment to deliver and/or direct users to appropriate information resources and databases.
