Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems

描述(由申请人提供)： 国家科学院医学研究所最近的两份里程碑式的报告强调了公共卫生信息学的基础作用。生物恐怖主义的威胁，对生物医学研究对公共卫生需求的响应的担忧，在减少疾病监测文件工作的同时希望获得更多信息的愿望，全国缺乏科学合理和个性化的健康教育，以及为一个更相互联系和以知识为导向的社会培养未来专业人员的挑战，这些都是提出这一建议的主要原因。 以下具体目标将指导IAIMS倡议：(I)创造一个相互关联的教育和研究环境，以满足公共卫生的需要；(Ii)为从业人员提供电子信息，将公共卫生数据与知识联系起来；(Iii)促进公共卫生信息学的方法和标准。 圣路易斯大学的多学科IAIMS提案将以该大学、信息技术服务、图书馆和参与学校的战略计划为基础。该提案是关于规划拨款申请的，它应该创造组织机制、技术环境和学术重点，为成功的运营阶段奠定基础。校外合作伙伴包括圣路易斯县卫生局和密苏里州卫生和高级服务部。病人教育资源和保健反应可计算知识数字图书馆的举措将成为为社区和个人健康决策创建综合电子信息服务的总体努力的特别重点领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The fundamental role of public health informatics has been highlighted by the two recent landmark reports of the Institute of Medicine of National Academies. The threats of bioterrorism, concerns regarding the responsiveness of biomedical research to public health needs, desire for more information while reducing paper work in disease surveillance, the national shortage of scientifically sound and individually tailored health education, and the challenge of educating future professionals for a more interconnected and knowledge oriented society are the primary reasons for this proposal. The following specific goals will guide this IAIMS initiative: (i) create an interconnected educational and research environment responsive to the needs of public health; (ii) serve practitioners with electronic information that connects public health data with knowledge; (iii) to advance the methods and standards of public health informatics. The multidisciplinary IAIMS proposal of Saint Louis University will build on the strategic plans of the University, IT services, library, and participating schools. The proposal is for a planning grant application that should create the organizational mechanisms, technical environment, and academic focus that sets the stage for a successful operations phase. Extramural partners include the St. Louis County Health Department and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. The initiatives of the digital library of patient education resources and computable knowledge for health care response will serve as special emphasis areas of the overall effort to create integrated electronic information services for community and personal health decisions.
