Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare 2013: Bridging Communities

描述（由申请人提供）：2013年医疗保健交互系统研讨会（WISH）：桥接社区将于11月16日在华盛顿特区与美国医疗信息学协会（AMIA）2013年年度研讨会一起举行。这个为期一天的面对面活动旨在促进对话和沟通社区，并将包括生物医学信息学，护理信息学，医学社会学，人机交互和其他相关领域的专家。 本次研讨会的目标与医疗保健研究和质量机构（AHRQ）的目标一致。通过汇集来自与医疗保健交互系统交叉的多种学科的研究人员，本次研讨会的主要智力贡献将来自对跨学科研究所面临挑战的深入讨论。此外，为这些研究人员提供一个沟通和交流思想和经验的环境，将刺激和支持跨学科对话和合作的发展。这将在 在WISH讨论的每一个项目上取得建设性进展。 总的来说，这次研讨会将为社区带来短期和长期的好处。在短期内，研讨会的参与者，特别是演讲的参与者，将收到反馈，以改善他们的项目，知识也将与AMIA年度研讨会的与会者分享。从长远来看，我们希望WISH参与者将通过让更多的人参与涉及交互式系统和医疗保健的研究来回馈社区。此外，我们希望政府机构，包括资金，政策和服务机构，如AHRQ将发现在研讨会上提出的研究有用，以帮助通知未来的研究方向。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) 2013: Bridging Communities will take place on November 16 in Washington DC in conjunction with the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) 2013 Annual Symposium. This one-day, in-person event is designed to foster conversation and bridge communities, and will include experts in biomedical informatics, nursing informatics, medical sociology, human-computer interaction, and other related fields. The goals of this workshop are consistent with those of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). By bringing together researchers from a diversity of disciplines that intersect with Interactive Systems for Healthcare, the primary intellectual contribution of this workshop will emerge from the in-depth discussion of challenges facing cross-disciplinary research. Furthermore, providing an environment for these researchers to communicate and exchange ideas and experiences will stimulate and support the development of interdisciplinary dialogs and collaborations. This will in turn lead to constructive progress on every project discussed at WISH. Overall, this workshop will contribute both short and long-term benefits to the community. In the short term, workshop participants, particularly the presenting participants, will receive feedback to improve their project and the knowledge will also be shared with attendees of the AMIA Annual Symposium. In the long term, we expect that WISH participants will give back to the community by engaging more individuals in research involving Interactive Systems and Healthcare. Furthermore, we hope that government agencies-including funding, policy, and service agencies such as AHRQ-will find the research presented at the workshop useful to help to inform future research directions.
