Description
Biomedical Informatics (BMI) is the pillar of a functioning Learning Health System (LHS) that enables bringing translational clinical research findings into clinical practice and thereby, improving the health of patients and populations. It is a compelling promise; hence, medical centers invest toward establishing sustainable BMI programs in the form of a Center for BMI or an academic division. WFBMI) attempts to foster learning from care experiences and develop and/or deliver better and more robust algorithmic models (e.g. Clinical decision support [CDS] systems, etc.) utilizing its integrated data ecosystem.In this panel, starting with a historical background, we will discuss challenges and opportunities of establishing a BMI program to support the operation and necessary changes to the institution.
Learning Objective: - Benefits of Learning Health System (LHS) and role of Biomedical Informatics in establishing a functioning LHS.
- Learning the evaluation of Biomedical Informatics programs and similarities with other academic programs in medical center
- Understanding a perspective of Biomedical Informatics' mission in LHS with research, service and training
- Become familiar with some successful training efforts examples that helps creation optimized workflows and care delivery
- Deliberation of lessons learnt during the creating a semantically aware data ecosystem in support of LHS at Wake Forest University Health Sciences
