NYC Center of Excellence for Public Health Informatics

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的纽约市公共卫生信息学卓越中心是由以下人员领导的一项合作努力： 该研究由纽约约克市健康和心理卫生部（DOHMH）和哥伦比亚大学生物医学信息学系（DBMI）和城市家庭健康研究所（IUFH）支持，IUFH是一个联邦合格健康中心网络。该中心以其公共卫生领导地位和使命以及科学严谨性和深度而闻名。 我们中心未来三年的统一科学主题将是利用卫生信息技术迎接公共卫生挑战。我们将特别注重新出现的公共卫生威胁，如生物恐怖主义、大流行性流感和抗生素耐药性，以及负担最重和/或可预防性最高的现有健康威胁，如慢性病、艾滋病毒、药物滥用和精神健康。我们将展示信息技术的潜力，通过三个角度-病人/消费者，医疗保健提供者和公共卫生从业者的公共卫生能力的转变。 目标.该中心的总体目标是开发，传播和展示： (1)个人健康记录，包括公共卫生优先事项和认知研究，使患者能够改善预防护理。 (2)电子临床决策支持系统，结合公共卫生优先事项和流行病学数据，使临床医生能够提供更好的预防和急性护理 (3)来自临床信息系统的电子健康信息交换，改善了对抗生素耐药性和新出现的健康问题的公共卫生监测。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed New York City Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics is a collaborative effort led by theNew York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and supported by the Columbia University Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) and the Institute for Urban Family Health (IUFH), a network of Federally Qualified Health Center. This Center is distinguished by virtue of its public health leadership and mission, in addition to scientific rigor and depth. The unifying scientific theme of our Center for the next three years will be Using Health Information Technology to Meet Public Health Challenges. We shall focus especially on emerging public health threats such as bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, and antibiotic resistance, as well as existing health threats with the highest burden and/or preventability, such as chronic diseases, HIV, substance abuse and mental health. We will demonstrate the potential of information technology to transform public health capabilities through three perspectives- that of the patient/ consumer, the health care provider, and the public health practitioner. Goals. The overall goals of the Center are to develop, disseminate, and demonstrate: (1) A Personal Health Record that incorporates public health priorities and cognitive research to empower patients in improving their preventive care. (2) An electronic clinical decision support system that incorporates public health priorities and epidemiologic data to empower clinicians in providing better preventive and acute care (3) Electronic health information exchange from clinical information systems that improves public health surveillance of antibiotic resistance and emerging health issues.
