Development of Biomedical and Health Informatics Competencies

描述(由申请人提供)： 生物医学和健康信息学能力的发展 信息技术在提供保健服务的组织中的作用越来越大，因此有必要深化信息学家的队伍，帮助各组织最大限度地提高其信息技术投资的效力，从而最大限度地提高保健的安全性、质量、效力和效率。今天，信息学家在整个学科所需的信息学家所需的课程上并不是一致的。现在是AMIA听取不同观点并努力为我们的成员、现有和未来的成员机构以及卫生信息技术社区制定一套共同的信息学教育原则的时候了。 信息学领域的教育工作者长期以来一直希望有一个全国性的框架，通过这个框架，医疗实践环境中的管理者可以定义与重要信息学和HIT职能相关的角色。需要一个类似的框架来为教育工作者和教育管理人员提供指导，以推进新的和现有的信息学培训计划，以及教师的招聘和发展。这份信息学能力政策文档将为开发这些框架提供基础。 为了实现这一目标，AMIA寻求举办一次由30名受邀主题专家参加的小型会议，以继续发展生物医学和健康信息学能力。这笔赠款要求20,000美元的资金，以支持AMIA为实现这一努力而开展的活动。项目活动将包括：对现有信息学成果进行会前审查；在该领域的主要利益攸关方和思想领袖之间举行一次面对面的会议务虚会；建立共识进程；对务虚会产生的文件草案进行结构化审查；项目利益攸关方之间的定期交流；以及通过出版传播生物医学和卫生信息学能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development of Biomedical and Health Informatics Competencies The growing role of information technology within health care delivery organizations has created the need to deepen the pool of informaticians who are able to help organizations maximize the effectiveness of their investment in information technology and in so doing maximize impact on safety, quality, effectiveness and efficiency of care. Today, informaticians are not of one mind on the curricula needed for informaticians throughout the discipline. It is now time for AMIA to hear different perspectives and work towards a common set of informatics' education principles for our members, current and prospective member institutions, and the health information technology community. Educators in the field of informatics have long desired a national framework by which managers in healthcare practice settings can define roles related to important informatics and HIT functions. A similar framework is needed to provide guidance to educators and educational administrators for the advancement of new and existing informatics training programs, as well as for faculty recruitment and development. This informatics competencies policy document will provide the foundation for developing these frameworks. To achieve this goal, AMIA seeks to stage a small conference of thirty invited subject matter experts to continue the development of biomedical and health informatics competencies. This grant requests $20,000 of funding to support activities in AMIA's pursuit of this effort. Project activities will include a pre-conference review of existing informatics artifacts, one face to face conference retreat among key stakeholders and thought leaders in the field, a consensus building process, a structured review of draft documents produced as a result of retreat, regular communication among project stakeholders, and dissemination of the biomedical and health informatics competencies through publication.
