Abstract:
While much is known about governance models for research informatics programs in academic medical centers and similarly situated cancer centers, community and public health systems have been less well-characterized. As part of implementing an enterprise research governance framework, leaders in the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services established a research informatics program, including research data warehousing. The strategy is focused on high-priority, patient-centered research that leverages the investment in health IT and an efficient, sustained contribution from 2 affiliated Clinical Translational Sciences Institutes. This case study describes the foundational governance framework and policies that were developed. We share the results of several years of planning, implementation, and operations of an academically funded research informatics service core embedded in a large, multicenter county health system. We include herein a Supplementary Appendix of governance documents that may serve as pragmatic models for similar initiatives.
摘要:
虽然对学术医学中心和类似癌症中心的研究信息学计划的治理模型知之甚少,社区和公共卫生系统的特征不太明显。作为实施企业研究治理框架的一部分,洛杉矶县卫生服务部的领导人建立了一项研究信息学计划,包括研究数据仓库。战略的重点是高度优先,以患者为中心的研究,利用对健康IT的投资,2个附属临床转化科学研究所的持续贡献。此案例研究描述了已开发的基础治理框架和政策。我们分享了几年规划的成果,实施,和业务的学术资助的研究信息学服务核心嵌入在一个大的,多中心县级卫生系统。我们在此包括治理文件的补充附录,这些文件可以作为类似计划的实用模型。
