Enhancing Research Informatics Capacity for Health Information in Colombia (ENRIC

哥伦比亚目前的健康状况可以界定为“三重”疾病负担，其特点是： 发达国家特有的慢性病和变性疾病的发病率，传染病和寄生虫病的流行率， 疟疾和肺结核等疾病以及与创伤有关的伤亡人数异常之多。训练 healtli专业人员的干部能够提供医疗信息学解决方案，以最好地研究每一个这些 健康问题将对哥伦比亚的公共卫生产生重大影响。ENRICH项目：“加强研究和 哥伦比亚卫生信息的信息学能力”将建立一个国际合作， 匹兹堡大学和波哥大的哈韦里亚纳大学，目标是建设个人在卫生领域的能力 以临床研究为重点的信息学。我们与临床医学系建立了合作关系， 哈韦里亚纳大学流行病学和生物统计学。在这个部门，一个医学信息中心 将被指定为ENRICH计划的高级国内培训和支持中心的区域资源。的 匹兹堡大学将利用专业知识建立一个完全综合的计划，以教育健康调查人员的干部 信息学和先进的研究方法有关的哥伦比亚的健康需求。具体目标是：（1）提供 对至少10名来自哥伦比亚的个人进行医学信息学的正式培训，作为应用医学证书课程的一部分。 匹兹堡大学医学与健康信息学教授。2)通过提供短期强化培训来推进国内培训 哥伦比亚境内的培训课程，包括关于临床信息系统、临床术语、 生物信息学、数据库管理、生物监测和临床研究方法学和3）。建立 在Javeriana的DCEB的主持下，建立医学信息学正式培训计划的基础设施 大学此外，我们建议通过现有的国际创伤合作组织，在过去活动的基础上再接再厉， 伤害研究培训计划，提供机会，快速实施信息学解决方案的一些 正在进行的创伤项目可能对哥伦比亚的一个重大公共卫生问题产生直接影响。 相关性（参见说明）： 哥伦比亚医疗信息学的现状是， 可以为改善哥伦比亚医疗保健所需的研究做出关键和宝贵的贡献， 推进信息学领域的发展最终，卫生专业人员将有机会获得各种技能， 在匹兹堡和哥伦比亚都有健康信息课程。这些人将在改善 哥伦比亚和拉丁美洲保健护理质量、安全和效率

The current health profile of Colombia can be defined as a having a "triple" burden of disease characterized by an increasing incidence of chronic and degenerative diseases typical of developed countries, a prevalent number of infectious and parasitic disease such as malaria and tuberculosis and an inordinately high number of trauma-related injuries and deaths. Training a cadre of healtli professionals capable of offering medical informatics solutions to best study each and every one of these health afflictions will have a major impact on public health in Colombia. The ENRICH project: "Enhancing Research and Informatics Capacity for Health Information in Colombia" will establish an international collaboration between the University Pittsburgh and the Javeriana University in Bogota with the goal of building the capacity of individuals in the field of health informatics with an emphasis on clinical research. We have established a partnership with the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (DCEB) of the Javeriana University. Within this department, a center for medical informatics will be designated as the regional resource for advance in-country training and support center for the ENRICH program. The University of Pittsburgh will draw expertise to build a fully integrated program to educate a cadre of investigators in health informatics and advanced research methods relevant to the health needs of Colombia. The specific aims are: 1) To provide formal training in medical informatics to at least 10 individuals from Colombia as part of a Certificate program in applied medical and health informatics at the University of Pittsburgh. 2) Advance in-country training by offering short term intensive training courses within Colombia consisting of workshops /seminars on clinical information systems, clinical terminologies, bioinformatics, data base management bio-surveillance and clinical research methodology and 3). To establish the infrastructure for the creation of a formal training program in medical informatics under the auspices of the DCEB at Javeriana University. Furthermore, we propose to build on our past activities trough our existing International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program by offering the opportunity for rapid implementation of informatics solutions on a number of ongoing projects in trauma that could have an immediate impact on a major health public issue in Colombia. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The status of Medical Informatics in Colombia is at stage in which a well trained cadre of experts in health informatics can make crucial and valuable contributions to the research necessary to improve Colombia's health care while advancing the field of informatics. Ultimately, health professionals will have the opportunity to acquire skills in a variety of health information subjects, both in Pittsburgh and in Colombia. These individuals will play a major role in improving the quality, safety and efficiency of health car in Colombia and Latin America
