The Indiana Training Program in Public & Population Health Informatics

项目总结/摘要 健康和医疗保健的主要趋势是在培训公众和人口方面进行大量投资 健康信息学（PHI）研究人员特别引人注目。这些趋势包括：（1） 认识到社会、环境和行为因素作为人类发展的决定因素的重要性， 卫生;（2）培训能够支持地方、州和联邦卫生机构的专家的要求 信息学研究和发展;（3）迫切需要帮助医疗保健系统 发展社区和人口健康管理以及数据分析的能力，以帮助 向强调预防和健康而不是干预的模式过渡。因此我们 提出一个多学科的培训计划，在PHI。通过获得无与伦比的人口水平 数据、人口健康教育和信息学方法，以及在广泛的 一系列创新的PHI研究项目，我们将帮助学员成为独立的科学家， 设计、开发、实施和评估临床和医疗领域的先进信息系统 公共卫生环境。我们的计划将从最初的12名学员（6 第五年共有17名实习生（9名博士预科生，8名博士后）。 博士前学员将完成流行病学或卫生政策的博士学位， 管理，专注于PHI。博士后学员将完成他们的MPH与 浓度为PHI。此外，专家教师将积极指导学员进行实践研究， 卫生信息交换（HIE）、从HIE数据中检测应报告疾病等领域 流，快速识别和通知新出现的健康威胁（症状监测），新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病- 基于计算机的决策支持，以改善初级保健，和信息学方法，以帮助 改善慢性疼痛护理和预防处方药滥用。研究经验将包括两个 回顾性、观察性研究，涉及来自多个卫生系统的健康数据，以及 涉及当地卫生系统合作伙伴的预期经验。学员还将完成一个广泛的集 讲习班和研讨会，这将使他们掌握BMI研究所必需的知识和技能， 例如负责任的研究行为、团队科学和研究道德。建立在强大的 研究和教育合作的遗产，我们将成功地培养一批研究人员 能够领导下一代PHI系统的设计、开发和评估。集体 我们的教师和学员将致力于研究，可以转化为公共卫生机构， 医疗保健提供系统改变护理提供方式和结果。

Project Summary / Abstract Major trends in health and healthcare make a significant investment in training public and population health informatics (PHI) researchers particularly compelling. These trends include (1) the increasing realization of the importance of social, environmental, and behavioral factors as determinants of human health; (2) the requirement to train experts who can support local, state, and federal health agencies with informatics research and development; and (3) the urgent need to help the healthcare system develop capacity in community and population health management, as well as data analytics, to help it transition to a model emphasizing prevention and wellness rather than intervention. Therefore we propose a multi-disciplinary training program in PHI. Through access to unparalleled population-level data, education in population health and informatics methods, and experiences working on a broad range of innovative PHI research projects, we will help trainees become independent scientists capable of designing, developing, implementing and evaluating advanced information systems in clinical and public health settings. Our program will incrementally grow from an initial set of 12 trainees (6 predoctoral, 6 postdoctoral) to 17 total trainees (9 predoctoral, 8 postdoctoral) in the fifth year. Predoctoral trainees will complete a doctoral degree in either Epidemiology or Health Policy & Management, with a concentration in PHI. Postdoctoral trainees will complete their MPH with a concentration in PHI. Furthermore, expert faculty will actively mentor trainees in hands-on research in areas such as health information exchange (HIE), detection of notifiable diseases from HIE data streams, rapid identification and notification of emerging health threats (syndromic surveillance), HIE- based computer-based decision support to improve primary care, and informatics methods to help improve chronic pain care and prevent prescription drug abuse. Research experiences will include both retrospective, observational studies involving health data from multiple health systems, as well as prospective experiences involving a local health system partner. Trainees will also complete a broad set of workshops and seminars that will equip them with knowledge and skills essential to BMI research, such as the responsible conduct of research, team science, and research ethics. Building upon a strong legacy of research and educational collaborations, we will successfully train a cadre of researchers capable of leading the design, development and evaluation of next generation PHI systems. Collectively our faculty and trainees will work on research that can be translated to public health agencies and health care delivery systems to transform care delivery as well as outcomes.
