NYC Center of Excellence for Public Health Informatics

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的纽约市公共卫生信息学卓越中心是由 该中心由纽约市卫生和心理卫生局(DOHMH)提供，并得到哥伦比亚大学生物医学信息学系(DBMI)和城市家庭健康研究所(IUFH)的支持，IUFH是一个由联邦合格健康中心组成的网络。该中心的突出之处在于其公共卫生领导地位和使命，以及科学的严谨性和深度。 我们中心未来三年的统一科学主题将是利用卫生信息技术应对公共卫生挑战。我们将特别关注新出现的公共卫生威胁，如生物恐怖主义、大流行性流感和抗生素耐药性，以及负担最重和/或可预防的现有健康威胁，如慢性病、艾滋病毒、药物滥用和精神健康。我们将从患者/消费者、医疗保健提供者和公共卫生从业者三个角度展示信息技术改变公共卫生能力的潜力。 目标。该中心的总体目标是开发、传播和示范： (1)包含公共卫生优先事项和认知研究的个人健康记录，使患者能够改善他们的预防保健。 (2)结合公共卫生优先事项和流行病学数据的电子临床决策支持系统，使临床医生能够提供更好的预防和急性护理 (3)来自临床信息系统的电子卫生信息交换，以改善对抗生素耐药性和新出现的健康问题的公共卫生监测。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed New York City Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics is a collaborative effort led by theNew York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and supported by the Columbia University Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) and the Institute for Urban Family Health (IUFH), a network of Federally Qualified Health Center. This Center is distinguished by virtue of its public health leadership and mission, in addition to scientific rigor and depth. The unifying scientific theme of our Center for the next three years will be Using Health Information Technology to Meet Public Health Challenges. We shall focus especially on emerging public health threats such as bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, and antibiotic resistance, as well as existing health threats with the highest burden and/or preventability, such as chronic diseases, HIV, substance abuse and mental health. We will demonstrate the potential of information technology to transform public health capabilities through three perspectives- that of the patient/ consumer, the health care provider, and the public health practitioner. Goals. The overall goals of the Center are to develop, disseminate, and demonstrate: (1) A Personal Health Record that incorporates public health priorities and cognitive research to empower patients in improving their preventive care. (2) An electronic clinical decision support system that incorporates public health priorities and epidemiologic data to empower clinicians in providing better preventive and acute care (3) Electronic health information exchange from clinical information systems that improves public health surveillance of antibiotic resistance and emerging health issues.
