AMIA 2013 Annual Symposium

Welcome

On behalf of the 2013 Scientific Program Committee, I extend a warm welcome to informatics researchers, practitioners, students, and the curious to the 2013 AMIA Annual Symposium.

The Symposium is the leading scientific meeting for biomedical and health informatics research and practice. Biomedical and health informatics is the scientific discipline that seeks

to develop and use information to improve health care, to assist biomedical research across the continuum from molecules to populations, and to empower practitioners and the public in their quest for better health for all.

This is an exciting time for the field, and without doubt, biomedical and health informatics is capturing the attention and interest of virtually everyone who hears the word “informatics.”

The Symposium offers an opportunity to present your work or catch up on the latest trends in informatics, network with colleagues old and new, develop collaborations, and interact with leaders in the field.

I also welcome our exhibitors and sponsors, from academe, government and industry. Visit the AMIA CareerCenter in the Exhibit Hall and don’t miss the opening reception.

I extend my deep gratitude to the Symposium Vice Chairs, Titus Schleyer and Katie Siek, and the AMIA Staff for their tireless work. Enjoy the week!

Welcome

It is my distinct honor as AMIA President and CEO to join the members and supporters of AMIA for the Annual Symposium. I have spent the past year traveling to meet with individual and Academic Forum members on campus; deepened relationships with health and healthcare advocates in government; and learned more about innovation and competition from our corporate partner settings, my enthusiasm for AMIA and the tremendous work members and informatics professionals are doing continues to astound and energize me.

The program offerings this year are, of course, top notch. I’m particularly pleased with the new opportunities for student members who comprise one quarter of the AMIA membership and represent the brilliant future of the profession. Congratulations to John Holmes, the Scientific Program Committee and the AMIA staff for the work they have done to prepare a meeting that is second to none.

Opening Session – a keynote by Dave deBronkart, e-Patient Dave, and closing keynote by Mary Czerwinski, Microsoft Research (page 35).

State of the Association and Town Hall Meeting – Grab a sandwich for this brown bag opportunity to discuss AMIA present and future with AMIA leaders.

President’s Picks – six sessions of topical interest including PP1: The Medical Subspecialty of Clinical Informatics: Certification and Serving the Training Needs of Programs. This session covers the interests of both physicians and allied health professionals.

Last, but not least, you will see promotions for iHealth 2014, Orlando which is launching January 30 – February 1. It is the inaugural AMIA meeting addressing the needs of clinical and operational informatics professionals. Like its big sister, the Joint Summits on Translational Science, April 7 – 11, San Francisco, we have high hopes that it will be as successful as TBICRI.

Our AMIA of the future is growing and changing for the better every day.

As always …

Kevin M. Fickenscher, MD

President’s Picks

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Room: Georgetown, Concourse Level

PP1: President’s Picks – The Medical Subspecialty of Clinical Informatics: Certification and Serving the Training Needs of Programs

Kevin Fickenscher, AMIA; Lorraine C. Lewis, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME); Denece Kesler, William Greaves, American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM)

The medical subspecialty of Clinical Informatics is now a reality with the first sitting of the examination occurring in October through the ABPM. The program requirements for fellowship are being developed by the ACGME. AMIA has been involved in activating informatics programs and has also provided Board of Directors approved feedback to ACGME. Eligibility to sit for the examination is through a Practice Pathway for the first 5 years of the examination, 2013-2017. This session will discuss specifics regarding the requirements for acceptance as a candidate to sit for the initial certification examination, as well as general information about the four parts required for recertification under Maintenance of Certification: professionalism, lifelong learning, cognitive examination, and practice performance. Lorraine Lewis will discuss the latest developments around ACGME-accredited clinical informatics fellowships. The ABPM is a member Board of the American Board of Medical Specialties. The ABPM currently offers certification in the specialty areas of Aerospace Medicine, Occupational Medicine, and Public Health/General Preventive Medicine and in the subspecialty areas of Clinical Informatics, Medical Toxicology and of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine. Dr. Lewis is the Executive Director of RCs for Anesthesiology, Preventive Medicine, Transitional Year, and oversees the Clinical Informatics training requirements within ACGME.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Room: International Ballroom West, Concourse Level

PP2: President’s Picks – Leave Me Alone or Everyone Unknown: Is it Now Time for a Unique National Personal Identifier for Care and Research?

Moderator: Ross Martin, AMIA For: David Stumpf, Pervasive Health; Don Detmer, University of Virginia Against: J. Marc Overhage, Siemens Healthcare, Patricia Flatley Brennan, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Following the 2012 AMIA Policy Conference, an ad hoc group has developed a Share to Care and Cure (S2C2) Initiative advocating federal policy to 1) allow access to identifiable personal health information for research purposes with ability of citizens to opt-out with no questions asked, and 2) be assigned a unique health identifier for research purposes to improve authentication for greater accuracy and reliability of record data. In the late 1980s the AMIA Board formally agreed to advocate for a unique health identifier to the federal government. This policy position has never been overturned. Is it time for AMIA to once again advocate for a unique health identifier for care and research purposes and if so, what kind of standard should it support under what conditions, and how could it be used? Informatics thought leaders will go head-to-head in a debate-style session to argue the case. At the conclusion, the audience will decide which side made the most convincing argument.


MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Room: Cabinet, Concourse Level

PP3: President’s Picks – The FDASIA Workgroup Recommendations

David Bates, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Paul Tang, Palo Alto Medical Foundation; Bradley Thompson, Epstein Becker Green, P.C

The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012 called for the HHS Secretary to “post a report—within 18 months (or by January 2014)—that contains a proposed strategy and recommendations on a risk-based regulatory framework pertaining to health IT, including mobile applications, that promotes innovation, protects patient safety, and avoids regulatory duplication”.

The FDASIA workgroup issued its final report to the HIT Policy Committee on 9/4/2013. The panel – comprised of workgroup members – will describe the committee process, issues addressed and the recommendations of the committee around how the federal government should proceed with respect to regulation of health IT. The panel will discuss what was considered in and out of scope for risk-based regulation, a proposed framework for risk and innovation, some of the current regulatory approaches, some dimensions a new regulatory framework might include, and the overall recommendations of the FDASIA workgroup.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Room: Georgetown, Concourse Level

PP4: President’s Picks – Innovations in Standards & Standards Development – What you Might Have Missed in 2013, and Will Need to Know Next Year

Doug Fridsma, ONC; Robert Dolin, Lantana Group; Christopher Chute, Mayo Clinic; Stan Huff, Intermountain Healthcare; Rebecca Kush, CDISC; Charles Jaffe, HL7

The simple unambiguous sharing of healthcare data is insufficient to meet the needs of our delivery systems if we are to improve quality and reduce costs. Traditional standards development processes are too slow and inefficient. Moreover, the means for exchanging data has not facilitated data reuse for a broad range of purposes, including quality evaluation, decision support, clinical research, primary medical science application, public health, and comparative effectiveness. The standards needed to support these goals must rapidly evolve despite an environment constrained by the limited availability of resources, by government regulation and by a rapidly evolving knowledge base. Standards development and the organizations that provide those standards are applying innovative approaches to achieving these demands.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Room: Cabinet, Concourse Level

PP5: President’s Picks – Preparing the Health IT Workforce of the Future

Judy Murphy, ONC; William Hersh, Oregon Health & Science University; Norma Morganti, Midwest Community College Health IT Consortium, Cuyahoga Community College; Paul Grundy, Healthcare Transformation

Health IT implementation thus far has focused on electronic data capture and information exchange; we are only beginning to understand the power of health IT as a tool to truly transform our health care system. So as we grapple with clinical and payment reform models like patient-entered medical home (PCMH) and accountable care organizations (ACO), it is important to not only understand the role of IT when implementing these models in care settings, but also to consider the changes required for preparing our future health IT workforce. Panelists will address these changes, as well as describe the importance of incorporating topics such as patient engagement, inter-collaboratory practice and big data analytics into health IT training.



TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Room: Cabinet, Concourse Level

PP6: President’s Picks – Integrating Genomic Data into the EHR: The eMERGE Experience

Joseph Kannry, Mount Sinai Medical Center; Marc Williams, Geisinger Health System; Christopher G. Chute, Mayo Clinic; Joshua C Denny, Vanderbilt University; Abel N. Kho, Northwestern University; Peter Tarczy-Hornoch, University of Washington

The panel will take advantage of the research and experience of the eMERGE network to review and discuss challenges in and solutions for integrating genomic data into the EHR. The NHGRI-sponsored eMERGE (Electronic Medical Records and Genomics) Network is a federally funded consortium of nine institutions with unique and valuable pioneer experience using a variety of commercial and home-grown EHRs. One of the major foci of the eMERGE network which has been actively researching issues that shed light on the integration of genomic information into the EHR. Specifically the panelists will use the papers in the special issue of Genetics in Medicine October 2013 as a starting point to review the challenges and solutions to this very much needed integration. The panel comprising well known and long time AMIA members looks forward to interacting with the audience to explore challenges, solutions, and partnerships.

nancy Staggers, PhD, RN, FAAN

Nancy Staggers’ journey in clinical informatics spans nearly 30 years across operational Health IT and academic positions. While an Army nurse in the early 1980s, she worked for the Chief Financial Officer in a medical center and convinced him to purchase state-of-the-art PCs (8088s) for the head nurses and wardmasters. Her first informatics position was as the nursing leader for the Congressionally-mandated implementation of the VA’s electronic health record at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in 1985-1988. After obtaining a PhD in 1992, she led enterprise electronic health record (EHR) projects in the 1990s and 2000s at the Department of Defense, Catholic Healthcare West and the University of Utah. The inpatient EHR project in Department of Defense (DOD) was across Army, Navy and Air Force from inception and system

selection to installation and evaluation. Initially deployed at 16 sites in the mid-1990s, this EHR is now installed at 58 sites worldwide. Later, she led a large, interdisciplinary, TriService effort to create a vision for DOD’s future EHRs.

Contributions to Nursing Informatics (NI) include foundational work: creating a current definition for NI, leading the American Nurses Association (ANA) NI Scope and Standards projects in 2001 and 2008 and developing and validating NI competencies. After synthesizing past NI definitions and Drs. Staggers and Cheryl Thompson offered a new NI definition in 2000. This definition was adopted by the ANA and by the Canadian NI Association. Twice Dr. Staggers led national taskforces to rewrite and update the ANA’s Scope and Standards for NI in the U.S. A series of research efforts with colleagues resulted in a validated, master list of NI competencies in the early 2000’s. The competencies have been well received by the nursing community in the U.S. and were extended to nursing communities and research efforts in Scandinavia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and more recently Brazil.

Dr. Staggers’ research program centers on improving the user experience (UX) for care providers. Funded research and scholarly efforts define this contribution beginning with publications from her dissertation in 1992 where she developed a theoretical framework for nurse-computer interaction and tested nurses’ performance on various EHR displays. The framework was later extended to a human-computer interaction framework. UX work includes evaluating designs for electronic medical administration records, the usability of an outpatient EHR, contextual aspects of EHRs, nursing handoffs and patient-centered handoffs. She has mentored many students in user experience research, NI and biomedical informatics.

Leadership in the UX arena includes two national efforts as well as providing expert testimony to the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health IT. She led the usability collaborative with Michelle Troseth as part of the national TIGER (Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform) effort in 2007-2009. This large collaboration resulted in a whitepaper as well as numerous national/international presentations and publications to educate nurses about the user experience. The TIGER effort is active and ongoing. More information about Dr. Staggers extensive experience is available at http://nursing.umaryland.edu/directory/nancy-staggers.

T01: Architectural Principles Applied to Integrated Clinical Systems

K. Kuttler, Intermountain Healthcare; S. Huff, J. Hales, L. Heermann Langford, Intermountain Healthcare/University of Utah

Clinical Information Systems (CIS) frequently comprise a web of multiple specialty systems implemented to meet specific clinical needs, but do not always adhere to an overarching clinical systems architecture for an enterprise. This often results in a variety of issues manifested in the form of system incompatibilities, inefficiencies, and failures to meet operating requirements. Architectural principles promote CIS efficiency and effectiveness. They also create a common understanding and communicate medical informatics best practices for clinical systems architecture in support of clinical excellence. Adherence to architectural principles improves interoperability and integration, enables agility, reduces costs, and improves security, management and CIS evolution which can significantly contribute to the goal of the highest quality healthcare at the lowest appropriate cost.

The aim of this tutorial is to describe key CIS architectural principles to Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) decision-makers, Healthcare Informaticists and Information Technology professionals, allowing them to benefit from our experience and “lessons learned”. Topics discussed will include: storage and retrieval of data, identification of patients and clinicians, knowledge-driven decision support, application of standards, uses for

transactional and analytical data, and considerations for future evolution in clinical and system needs.

Real life examples will be used to illustrate these principles and the resulting challenges when they are not applied. Attendees will be challenged to apply the principles learned in the tutorial using a hands-on simulated experience. Examples will form the basis for interactive discussion interspersed with small group breakout sessions. Instructors will coach attendees as they address their own CIS architecture problems during the breakout sessions to understand how the principles apply to their situation and how architectural tradeoffs affect their CIS challenges.

R. Jenders, Charles Drew University & UCLA; J. Osheroff, TMIT Consulting, LLC; J. Teich, Elsevier Health Sciences; D. Sittig, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston; R. Murphy, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System

This tutorial will provide attendees with a practical approach to developing and deploying clinical decision support (CDS) interventions that measurably improve outcomes of interest to a health care delivery organization. The instructors initially will examine in detail the key building blocks of a CDS program, including creating and enhancing organizational structure for CDS success; identifying information systems for providing the data that drive CDS interventions; leveraging clinical workflow to optimize CDS interventions; processes and systems for measuring the outcomes of these interventions; and knowledge management to acquire and maintain the expert knowledge that informs these interventions. The instructors then will show how to leverage these building blocks to address key steps in developing, implementing, managing and evaluating CDS interventions.

Additional discussion will touch on the role of national programs relevant to CDS, including knowledge sharing; structured guidelines; meaningful use; special considerations for CDS for small clinical practices, for hospitals and health systems and for vendors; and medico-legal considerations pertinent to CDS. Further, following interactive presentations by the instructors, attendees will divide into small groups and participate in a highly interactive exercise in planning and designing a CDS project to address a specific clinical target, facilitated by the instructors.

C. Chute, Mayo Clinic; J. Cimino, NIH; M. Musen, Stanford

Standardized terminologies and classification systems are an essential component of the information infrastructure that supports healthcare delivery and evaluation. Despite significant advances and increased motivation for the use of terminology systems, widespread integration of standardized terminologies into computer-based systems has not yet occurred. In this tutorial, we provide an overview of the state of the science related to terminologies and classification systems and demonstrate application of selected terminologies to a patient case study to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of various terminologies. Standardized terminologies alone are insufficient to achieve semantic interoperability. Consequently, the tutorial will include content designed to elucidate the relationships among standards for terminologies, information models, messages, and document and record structures. In addition, we will demonstrate the use of advanced terminology tools that facilitate the use of standardized terms in computer-based systems and provide an overview of significant international and national initiatives related to terminology systems.

With the arrival of clinical informatics board certification for physicians, AMIA support for the applied clinical informatics communities has become more important than ever. A major part of that support is outreach to Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIO), who are charged with leading informatics change within their organization. AMIA is uniquely positioned to serve as the professional “home” for the CMIO community because it can provide a combination of personal experience and anecdote with firm grounding in evidence-based biomedical informatics literature, informatics theory, foundational knowledge, and proven best practices, in a thoughtful and coherent educational setting. However, in order to be that professional home, AMIA must offer CMIO-focused educational activities in addition to the fall symposiums.

The CMIO Workshop was first held at the AMIA 2011 Annual Symposium behind the leadership of Gilad Kuperman, MD. It was again held at the AMIA 2012 Annual Symposium where enrollment doubled and met our target number for enrollment.

The goal of the workshop is to provide an introduction for new and provide continuing education for established CMIOs and others who have similar roles (such as Medical Directors for Information Systems) to a set of topics that will help them carry out their professional responsibilities and also provide them with a deeper understanding of the field of informatics and how it can be integrated into their daily workflow in an evidence-based way. The offering will help to assure that their organizations realize the potential benefits that health IT can bring and also to assure that the organizations will have leadership that will embrace biomedical informatics as a core discipline.

WG01: Natural Language Processing Working Group Doctoral Consortium and Workshop on Open Source NLP Systems

H. Xu, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston; S. Meystre, University of Utah

Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies have received great attention in the clinical domain and have demonstrated numerous uses in many clinical applications. The pre-symposium of the AMIA NLP working group provides a unique platform for close interactions among students, scholars, and industry professionals who are interested in clinical NLP. The event will consist of two sections: 1) a doctoral consortium, where students can present their work and get feedback from experienced researchers in the field; and 2) a workshop with a focused theme for each year. This year, our focus is open source clinical NLP systems. Our excellent podium and poster presentations will provide participants a complete picture of current efforts in developing open source clinical NLP systems.

WG02: Current and Emerging Issues for Population Health Informatics in Healthcare and Public Health

H. Kharrazi, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; A. Joshi, University of Nebraska Medical Center; J. Loonsk, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health/CGI Federal

Advancing population health outcomes is of prime interest to many informaticians both in healthcare and public health. This strong interest was demonstrated by the great success of AMIA’s Population Health Informatics (PHI) pre-symposium workshop in 2012, making it the second most attended workshop. This year, multiple healthcare and public health factors are driving the PHI workshop to the next level including: implementation of Meaningful Use 2 (MU2); evolving population-health focused MU3 objectives; enactment/enforcement of new CMS population policies; and, lack of a dedicated national PHI conference. Hence, it is especially important to bring public health and healthcare informatics professionals together to discuss timely population health informatics

issues and suggest paths forward.

In this pre-symposium, healthcare and public health informatics participants will understand, discuss, and advance current and emerging PHI issues. Faculty and presenters will frame different sides of each issue to demonstrate various developments in PHI and promote understanding of a common PHI vocabulary. Pre-symposium participants will then discuss each issue to further advance a shared understanding and common ground. Consensus statements designed to move the management of each issue forward will be developed and communicated broadly. Timely issues will be included that are associated with advancing population outcomes such as: the role of Accountable Care Organizations (ACO); supporting non-syndromic surveillance needs; federated query for public health; establishing registries at the EHR, ACO, and health department levels; using population data for the public good; public health challenges with MU; decision support for population health workers; the viability of two way communication between public health and healthcare; and other emerging topics.

WG03: The Learned Intermediary Question: Who Really Holds the Medico-legal Risks of Inadequate HIT?

Hoffman, Case Western Reserve University; R. Trocki, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; H. Solomon, GE Healthcare; E. Makar, Office of the National Coordinator, for Health IT; L. Ozeran, Clinical Informatics, Inc.

“Learned Intermediaries” (LIs) are medical experts who, because of education and experience, are qualified to cognitively and operationally balance multiple benefits and risks of: medications, treatments, and medical device performance. The “Learned Intermediary’s” choices follow the premise that their decisions are fully informed, individualized medical judgments, founded in knowledge of both the patient, of appropriate medical practice, and the characteristics of the prescribed medications, treatments, or devices. Some assert the LI doctrine also applies to clinician use of healthcare information technology (HIT). Few clinicians, however, have any real knowledge of either proprietary HIT software systems’ complex design or the processes involved in a given clinician/computer “transaction” (or “encounter”). Most “LIs” are unqualified to judge “the accuracy” of the computer performance for doing the task assigned to it. HIT vendors often enjoy a contractual and legal structure, “hold harmless”, which renders them virtually liability free. This may apply when proprietary products are implicated in adverse events involving patients. This contractual and legal method shifts liability and remedial burdens to physicians, nurses, hospitals and clinics, even though these HIT users may be strictly following vendor instructions. Medico-legally, any plan that involves a cognitive “third axis” extension into software engineering – making clinicians responsible for system performance and accuracy in complex clinical computer installations – is professionally inappropriate. This workshop will explore the ramifications of “LI” responsibility shift, across legal and clinical dimensions.

Engaging patients in their healthcare through the use of Health Information Technology is an overriding goal that will stretch across all stages of Meaningful Use (MU). At present Meaningful Use focuses on four areas of patient engagement: Personal Health Records (PHRs), secure messaging, patient education/instructions, and clinical summaries. This tutorial looks at MU and the requirements laid out for patient engagement. We have gathered together an impressive panel of experts in the field of patient engagement policy, technology, and usability. The tutorial will feature interactive breakout sessions for participants to review feasibility, usability, next steps and possible future development. Participants in the breakout sessions will develop ideal future states in which the technology fulfills the requirements of MU and ultimately facilitates patient engagement. This topic is significant and timely for several reasons especially as MU enters a penalty phase in 2015. This is a joint Working Group pre-symposia presented by the Nursing Informatics and Clinical Information Systems Working Groups.

The focus of this group’s activity is the research and development of technology which facilitates safe and effective patient care in the Emergency Department (ED), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the Operating Room (OR). Experts in critical care informatics will present 10 lectures on key topics in the field. The Pre-symposia will be of interest to physicians and non-physicians interested in intensive care informatics.

WG06: Workshop on Visual Analytics in HealthcareThis pre-symposium is partially supported by an unrestricted educational grant from IBM

J. Caban, NICoE/Walter Reed Bethesda; D. Gotz, IBM Research; J. Wojtusiak, George Mason University

As hospital organizations and clinics move to electronic medical records and embrace new health information technology (HIT), the amount of data available to clinicians continues to grow at a rate not seen before. The vast amount of clinical data often captured for every patient poses a challenging task for clinicians trying to make sense of the patient’s condition and understand the patient’s medical history. Visualization and visual analytics show great potential as methods to analyze, filter, and illustrate many of the diverse data used in clinical practice.

Today, (a) physicians and clinical practitioners are faced with the challenging task of analyzing large amount of unstructured, multi-modal, and longitudinal data to effectively diagnose and monitor the progression of a particular disease; (b) patients are confronted with the difficult task of understanding the correlations between many clinical values relevant to their health; and (c) healthcare organizations are faced with the problem of improving the overall operational efficiency and performance of the institution while maintaining the quality of patient care and safety. Visualization and visual analytics can potentially provide great benefits to each of these three core areas of healthcare. However, to be successful, the resulting visualization must be able to meet the challenges of the clinical workflow and be useful for both patients and clinicians.

Despite the continuous use of scientific visualization and visual analytics in medical applications, the lack of communication between engineers and physicians has meant that only basic visualization and analytics techniques are currently employed in clinical practice. During the last three years the authors of this proposal have organized and chaired the Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC) at the IEEE Visualization Conference.

WISH 2013 Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare(not eligible for CME/CE)

Addressing the complex interplay among human, organizational, and technological systems in healthcare is critically important. At the intersection of these systems lies a significant research area that has the potential to impact quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care in America. Although new research initiatives aim at better aligning health information technology, real clinical practice, and design of technologies informed by the best practices in human factors and human-computer interaction, current efforts are spread out in several disjointed research communities, without established pathways for transfer of knowledge and expertise.

At WISH 2013, researchers and practitioners with interests in health information technology will come together to promote deeper and more profound connections among the biomedical informatics, human-computer interaction, medical sociology and anthropology communities. The gathering of these communities in a focused conference will lead to the development of new methods, approaches, and techniques to improve the design, adoption, and use of health information technology (HIT). This workshop is designed to foster conversation, bridge communities, and develop a shared body of knowledge. WISH 2013 offers an exciting program, including keynote speeches, invited and peer-reviewed panels, and poster exhibitions.

T05: Fundamentals of EHR Usability

A. Franklin, M. Walji, J. Zhang, University of Texas Health Science Center

A current and significant challenge in the design and implementation of health information technology (HIT) is to deal with the high failure rate of HIT projects. Most of these failures are not due to flawed technology, but rather due to the lack of systematic considerations of human factors and other non-technology issues in the design and implementation processes. In other words, designing and implementing HIT is not so much an IT project as a project about human-centered computing akin to human-computer interaction, workflow, organizational change, and process reengineering. Due to the complexity and unique features of healthcare, human-centered methods and techniques specifically tailored for this domain are necessary for the successful development of health information systems such as electronic health records (EHRs). Good usable design would engender systems that increase efficiency and productivity, are easy to use and straight forward to learn, increase user adoption, retention, and satisfaction, and decrease medical errors, development time and cost. In this tutorial we will focus on teaching two methods appropriate for assessing EHR usability. After the half-day tutorial, the attendees should have a basic understanding of the usability issues in health IT and have gained skills enabling them to evaluate the usability of EHRs and related products using these methods.

T06: Personal Health Records, Portals and Consumer-facing Health Information

P. Brennan, University of Wisconsin-Madison; J. Wald, RTI International; D. Sands, Harvard University

Consumer information technology solutions are assuming increasing importance in engaging people in self care and disease management. Personal health information tools provide lay people with access to subsets of their clinical records and with the health information management tools needed for self-care and effective health care utilization. Taking on many forms, including PHRs, iPhone apps, patient portals, stand-alone applications, mHealth and Web 2.0 services, these innovative IT tools may also enable better access to the health care systems resources, including health information, appointment scheduling and provider communication, and personal health tracking. Through case studies this tutorial will introduce clinicians, systems administrators, and IT developers to critical issues regarding the design and deployment of PHRs and other personal health information management tools. This tutorial addresses the AMIA 2013 theme of Consumer Informatics and Personal Health Records. The aim of this tutorial is to provide an experienced-based, practical introduction to patient-facing health IT, with particular attention to the clinical consequences of engaging patients through health IT.

Participants will learn how to plan and prepare manuscripts, select an appropriate audience, decide on a suitable type of publication, understand the submission, peer review, and editorial decision making process, and learn how to reply to reviewers’ comments. Manuscript preparation will include a detailed explanation of the various sections of a manuscript, elements of writing style, use of abbreviations, formatting of tables, preparing of figures, creating bibliographies, and common errors to avoid. Ethical considerations, such as authorship responsibilities, conflict of interest, duplicate submissions, plagiarism, prepublication, etc., will be discussed. For authors whose primary language is not English, the workshop will provide advice on the general aspects of writing scientific English.







T13: An Introduction to Clinical Natural Language Processing

L. D’Avolio, VA Boston Healthcare System; D. Demner-Fushman, National Library of Medicine

Natural language processing is the umbrella term used to describe the automated structuring and extraction of information formatted as free text. The demand for natural language processing technologies in medicine will grow significantly in the coming years. This growth will be fueled by the continuing adoption of the electronic medical record, increasing emphasis on quality measurement and improvement initiatives, and the growing need for evidence to be used as part of evidence-based medicine. This half-day tutorial is designed to introduce clinicians and informaticians to the practice, tools, techniques, and science of clinical natural language processing. Instruction will be hands on, inter-active, and case driven. The tutorial will focus primary on clinical NLP, although related uses and methods such as literature-based NLP and text mining will be discussed to lend context.

T14: Ethnographic Sociotechnical Evaluation for Health Information Technology(eligible for Dental CE)

B. Kaplan, Yale University

Sociotechnical approaches are grounded in theory and are evidence-based. They provide a way to conduct needs analysis, to understand what people do when working with these technologies, and to identify why they view and use these technologies in those ways. They assess how an application and workflow influence each other; how clinical and patient roles relate to system use; how useful and usable health information technologies are; and what unintended consequences, patient safety issues, or user responses might occur. Ethnographic approaches explore how users experience health information technology and why they interact with it as they do. Ethnographic sociotechnical evaluation, applicable in all areas of medical informatics, can help prevent difficulties through better needs analysis, system design and implementation practices. The tutorial explains these approaches and how to use them. It addresses how to identify challenges in designing and implementing both clinician-facing and patient-facing health information technologies and to successfully implement them.

Active patient engagement in decisions related to their health care is one of the main components of health care reform. In the United States, the “Meaningful Use” incentive program is promoting the wide adoption and use of electronic health record (EHR) systems to improve health care quality and reduce costs. The incentive program includes criteria for the adoption of measures to enable patients to increasingly engage in their health care decisions. One of these measures is the requirement for EHR systems and health care providers to deliver consumer health information in the context of EHR use. EHR developers are required to implement this capability in a standards-based manner, compliant with the Health Level Seven (HL7) Infobutton Standard.

Speakers in this panel will provide their perspectives in health IT standards, patient engagement advocacy, consumer health information, and EHR systems. After the panel, attendees are expected to: 1) understand the HL7 Infobutton Standard and examples of how it has been used for delivering context-specific consumer health information; 2) describe how consumer health information resources can be leveraged for patient engagement; and 3) describe future applications of the Infobutton Standard for patient engagement.

Health information technology (HIT) is often touted as an important remedy for many problems in healthcare. However, the business model of biomedical informatics, the “engine of innovation for HIT,” is broken in many respects. The culture and values of informatics and industry differ significantly, successful academic/industry collaboration is scarce, and the contributions of informatics to the operational context of healthcare delivery are increasingly marginalized. Informaticians are viewed as closeted researchers while IT staff do the “real work.” On the other hand, industry is looking to academia for leadership in important areas of HIT and electronic health records, such as providing and maintaining evidence-based content; integrating basic science breakthroughs into EHRs; designing EHRs and clinics of the future; and aggregating and analyzing data on large cohorts (nationally and internationally). This panel will present thought-provoking viewpoints from key industry and academic leaders, and stimulate discussion on strategies to improve informatics’ contribution to bringing about positive change in healthcare.

This panel focuses on the use and impact of health information technology (HIT) to address complex care within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We highlight specific HIT approaches, including innovative and interactive uses of the VA’s electronic health record, databases, and information systems; personal health record; and applications of automated systems for intervention, evaluation, and tracking patient care. Examples include patient-facing, health care team-facing and health system-facing technologies to support clinical care with systematic research-based evaluations. These processes demonstrate both the innovation and synergy of a range of HIT approaches in dynamic health care settings developed for patients, health care teams, and managers. Attendees will: 1) Become familiar with the VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) and the role of informatics in advancing the program’s impact; 2) Learn about a range of innovative patient-facing, health care team-facing and health system-facing technologies to support clinical care; and 3) Understand the value of systematic evaluation of health information technologies and how research and clinical care can be synergistic in advancing healthcare quality.

We hope that this material stimulates systematic application of innovative HIT in health care within and beyond the VA. Panelists Description: The VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) utilizes a range of health information technology (HIT) approaches to support clinical care with systematic research-based evaluations. Dr. Hynes will provide an overview of the VA QUERI and HIT approaches, and panelists will highlight the use of these technologies to advance complex care within the VA. 1) Mental Health-QUERI: Patient-Facing Kiosks – Alexander S. Young, MD, MSHS Using innovative patient facing kiosks, data were captured directly from Veterans at 4 healthcare centers in 3 states. Dr. Young will discuss how these data supported implementation of timely, evidence-based services compared with usual care, and improved weight, employment, treatment, and outcomes. 2) HIV/Hepatitis QUERI: Telehealth Strategies in SCAN-ECHO – Michael Ohl, MD, MSPH Focused on geographically dispersed providers caring for veterans with HIV infection in a rural setting, Project SCAN ECHO allows for specialists to electronically connect with primary care providers in rural and remote locations. Dr. Ohl will discuss integration of telehealth and use of population registries to support clinical collaboration.

Murphy, Harvard Medical School/Partners Healthcare System, Inc./Massachusetts General Hospital; D. Fridsma, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

Measuring population health is critical to understanding the healthcare landscape. The Query Health initiative, a public-private collaboration convened by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in 2011, is developing a standards-based, secure, distributed approach for measuring population health through electronic health record data, without sharing clinical data from individual sites. To date, Query Health has: developed a standards-based methodology; developed a reference implementation; and, launched several pilots to gauge its effectiveness for the purpose of population health management. This panel will present these accomplishments and future directions of the initiative. Content is appropriate for anyone with interest in population health. Prior experience with data analytics is helpful, but the presentations assume no prior knowledge of the technologies and standards used.

C. Friedman, University of Michigan; C. Chute, Mayo Clinic; J. Goldman, Massachusetts General Hospital; C. Gunter, University of Illinois; K. Mandl, Boston Children’s Hospital; J. Zhang, University of Texas at Houston

This session portrays the future of informatics where results of ground-breaking research propel technology to a next level of achievement in promoting individual and population health.

In April of 2010, the ONC awarded cooperative agreements to support research in four key areas where progress is essential to fully realize the benefits of health information technology: 1) security of health information technology, 2) patient-centered cognitive support, 3) health care application and network platform architecture, and 4) secondary use of EHR data. Through what became known as SHARP (the Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects), four awards resulted from separate competitions in each area. A fifth award, addressing medical device interoperability and supported by NIH, joined the SHARP family in 2011.

D. Sands, Zev Enterprises

We all think the work we do is important, but how often do issues related to clinical informatics make it into mainstream media? In this inaugural year-in-review session we present news items from this past year that touch on clinical informatics. Time permitting, we will discuss how we might increase the appeal of our work to the media.

S13: Panel – Consumer Engagement in HIT: Building Capacity for Shared Decision-making


B. Westra, University of Minnesota; D. Skiba, University of Colorado; S. Long, K. Harder, University of Minnesota; S. Hull, Wellspring Consulting

Implementing meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) now requires engaging consumers in use of health information technologies (HIT). The ultimate goal is not simply getting consumers to use HIT, rather HIT needs to be tailored to the needs, preferences, and motivators for consumers to access, use, and manage their health through shared decision-making using HIT. Consumer engagement requires both consumers and providers to change behaviors. A culture shift is needed to change behaviors for both; however, consumers also need the right tools and access to information tailored to their lifestyles and circumstances. The purpose of this panel is to describe strategies for various stakeholders to shift behavior change toward shared decision-making. The panel will present a range of strategies from educating future providers, shared a state-wide plan for consumer engagement in HIT, describe innovation and design principles to tailor HIT for consumers, and shared national initiatives and resources.

PP2: President’s Pick – Leave Me Alone or Everyone Unknown: Is it Now Time for a Unique National Personal Identifier for Care and Research?

Moderator: Ross Martin, AMIAFor: D. Stumpf, Pervasive Health; D. Detmer, University of Virginia Against: J.M. Overhage, Siemens Healthcare; P. Flatley Brennan, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Following the 2012 AMIA Policy Conference, an ad hoc group has developed a Share to Care and Cure (S2C2) Initiative advocating federal policy to 1) allow access to identifiable personal health information for research purposes with ability of citizens to opt-out with no questions asked, and 2) be assigned a unique health identifier for research purposes to improve authentication for greater accuracy and reliability of record data. In the late 1980s the AMIA Board formally agreed to advocate for a unique health identifier to the federal government. This policy position has never been overturned. Is it time for AMIA to once again advocate for a unique health identifier for care and research purposes and if so, what kind of standard should it support under what conditions, and how could it be used? Informatics thought leaders will go head-to-head in a debate-style session to argue the case. At the conclusion, the audience will decide which side made the most convincing argument.

S14: Panel – Insights from the Implementation Forums Discussions: What Thirty Percent of AMIA Members Say about HIT Implementation and Use


B. Kaplan, Yale University; R. Koppel, University of Pennsylvania; C. Kuziemsky, University of Ottawa; K. Ravvaz, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; H. Sobko, University of Alabama at Birmingham; M. Adams, Duke University

Over 30% of AMIA’s members are part of the Implementation listserv. Since its inception in September 2012, members have ardently discussed, debated, and shared wisdom about implementation and HIT. This unique, cross-working group listserv was formed to reduce redundant postings generated by the CIS, ELSI, Evaluation, and POI Working Groups’ listservs. The mega-discussion about implementation addresses barriers, challenges, and lessons learned about implementing HIT, as well as ways to maximize adoption and to make “meaningful use” meaningfully useful. Listserv participants confront what is well understood and what is not, disseminate knowledge, and suggest research agendas to inform practice and policy. The listserv reflects AMIA members’ systematic and rigorous thinking about implementation issues.

Panelists will discuss themes and knowledge emerging from listserv content, focusing on five salient areas: education, HIT integration with workflow, pros and cons of current systems, nursing perspectives, and user experiences (including ethical concerns). They will present examples of how listserv participants are informing AMIA’s membership about their experiences with HIT; and the challenges, successes and lessons learned. Panelists are current or former working group chairs and informatics thought leaders who make up AMIA’s Implementation Forum Steering Committee (with John Holmes, Gilad Kuperman, and Donald Schnader).

S15: Panel – Genomic Sequencing and Genetic Testing: Current Technological, Regulatory, Clinical, and Social Issues and Future Directions


C. Petersen, Mayo Clinic; L. Ozeran, Clinical Informatics, Inc.; J. Tenenbaum, Duke Translational Medicine Institute; S. Volchenboum, University of Chicago

Advances in the ability to rapidly sequence genomes at lower costs and test patients in clinical environments have expanded the potential for, and desirability of, genetic and genomic testing. At the same time, an evolving regulatory environment and untested legal requirements promote uncertainty and concern among researchers, clinicians, consumer advocates, and patients. These circumstances necessitate re-evaluation of data security and privacy considerations not only for the individual and the individual’s family, but for society as a whole. In this panel, the presenters will describe technical and methodological considerations for genomic sequencing and genetic testing. They will review issues related to patients’ understanding of genetic data privacy and security practices, secondary data use expectations and desires, and potential issues related to genomic sequencing. Through a pediatric oncology scenario, they will explore how genetic testing can be used in a clinical setting. Finally, the panel will suggest potential regulatory and enforcement changes that may enable and facilitate population-wide collection and use of genomic data.

The exponential growth of biomedical data related to complex diseases such as asthma and Alzheimer’s far exceeds our cognitive abilities to comprehend it for tasks such as biomarker discovery, pathway identification, and molecular-based phenotyping. Here we begin by discussing the theoretical foundations for the emerging field of visual analytics, with a focus on the cognitive and task-based motivations to use methods from this field to analyze complex biomedical data. Next, we present the state of the practice for one such approach called network visualization and analysis, and demonstrate through a concrete example how networks are particularly useful for deriving translational insights from complex molecular and phenotype information. This exposition helps to identify the strengths and limitations of network analysis that are critical for its practical application. The presentation is targeted towards members of interdisciplinary translational teams consisting of translational bioinformaticians, biologists, and clinicians, who wish to comprehend the interaction of molecular and phenotype information, leading to translational insights. The educational goals include acquiring a theoretical understanding of visual analytics, and the practical knowledge to begin the analysis of biomedical data using methods from visual analytics.

The Semantic Alignment Lifecycle: A Best Practice Developed to Harmonize Distributed Research Data ResourcesD. Gabriel, University of California, Davis; N. Anderson, University of Washington; M. Hogarth, University of California, Davis

Developing data alignment and harmonization practices necessary to support federated data querying of heterogeneous institutional research repositories is challenged by differences such as local technical resources, communications challenges tied to distance, research culture and institutional governance requirements. We propose that practices developed through the data alignment and harmonization process employed in two implementations of distributed de-identified research data repositories can be offered as a basis for best practices in implanting these systems. We describe the basis of this work from the experiences gained from two multi-institutional federated data discovery projects, specifically the Cross-Institutional Clinical Translational Research Project (CICTR) – three institutional sites, and the University of California Research eXchange (UCReX) projects with five institutional sites. Both projects sought to permit researchers to perform structured queries across large-scale, geographically distributed i2b2 instances. The projects relied upon semantic alignment of the i2b2 ontology cell implemented at each site with each data source at each site requiring a map and methodology for every data element instance to a central ontological “hub” to support the execution of a single query against all participating sites. In this presentation we will describe the iterative semantic alignment process employed to support these projects.

PP3: President’s Picks – The FDASIA Workgroup Recommendations

D. Bates, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; P. Tang, Palo Alto Medical Foundation; B. Thompson, Epstein Becker Green, P.C

The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012 called for the HHS Secretary to “post a report—within 18 months (or by January 2014)—that contains a proposed strategy and recommendations on a risk-based regulatory framework pertaining to health IT, including mobile applications, that promotes innovation, protects patient safety, and avoids regulatory duplication”.

The FDASIA workgroup issued its final report to the HIT Policy Committee on 9/4/2013. The panel—comprised of workgroup members--will describe the committee process, issues addressed and the recommendations of the committee around how the federal government should proceed with respect to regulation of health IT. The panel will discuss what was considered in and out of scope for risk-based regulation, a proposed framework for risk and innovation, some of the current regulatory approaches, some dimensions a new regulatory framework might include, and the overall recommendations of the FDASIA workgroup.

S24: Panel – Research Challenges for the Learning Health System: Report of an NSF-sponsored Workshop


C. Friedman, University of Michigan; L. Etheredge, George Washington University; W. Stead, Vanderbilt University; K. Sullivan, University of Virginia; H. Wactlar, National Science Foundation

Achievement of a national-scale Learning Health System is increasingly seen as a national imperative. Standing between the present health system and a future high-functioning learning system, one that can routinely and continuously study and improve itself, is a broad array of open scientific questions. Indeed, achieving a learning health system may be seen as the consummate informatics challenge. In April of this year, a distinguished group of 45 scientists –from disciplines as diverse as anthropology, economics, computer science, systems engineering, and health services research – gathered to identify the key research challenges that must be addressed in order to achieve this ambitious but essential goal. This session will present to the AMIA community the findings of this NSF-sponsored workshop, and provide opportunity for important discussion.

S25: Panel – Informatics Challenges and the Future of Electronic Clinical Documentation


D. Vawdrey, Columbia University; S. Rosenbloom, Vanderbilt University; P. Stetson, Columbia University; T. Payne, University of Washington; P. Embi, The Ohio State University

As adoption of electronic clinical documentation grows, system capabilities and note-writing practices have come under increased scrutiny. Many clinicians have been reluctant to use electronic documentation systems, citing reasons such as fear of decreased efficiency, possible adverse effects on patient-physician communication, personal lack of computer skills, and poor system usability. Concern has been expressed among policymakers and administrators regarding potential billing fraud stemming from use of electronic documentation systems. At the same time, discussions are ongoing about documentation-related requirements in the “meaningful use” program, and momentum is building around criteria for “next-generation” documentation tools. The panelists will summarize their own experiences overseeing large-scale implementations of electronic documentation using four distinct commercial EHR systems. They will discuss the current and future state of clinical documentation, debating topics such as: 1) the advantages and limitations of structured vs. narrative text, 2) the use and monitoring of copy-paste and other electronic “documentation support” tools, 3) best practices for developing and managing clinical documentation knowledge assets, 4) measuring the quality of clinical documents. Additionally, panelists will discuss successful and unsuccessful implementation strategies and the impact of electronic documentation on training the next generation of healthcare providers. Ample time will be provided for audience questions.

S26: Panel – How Fit is Electronic Health Data for its Intended Uses? Exploring Data Quality across Clinical, Public Health, and Research Use Cases


S. Grannis, Indiana University, School of Medicine/Regenstrief Institute; B. Dixon, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, School of Informatics and Computing/ Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Health Services Research and Development Service; S. Liaw, University of New South Wales; M. Kahn, University of Colorado School of Medicine/Children’s Hospital Colorado; H. Fraser, Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Given growing adoption of electronic systems in health care, many providers and nations are looking to apply large volumes of electronic data across a wide spectrum of uses. Leveraging large-scale clinical and administrative data sets assumes that the data are of sufficient quality to enable valid, generalizable conclusions. Yet studies outside health care show that data quality (DQ) in information systems is often poor. In this panel, we explore the definition of DQ and how to measure it across research, clinical, and population health use cases. Each speaker provides unique context and approaches for approaching what could be a showstopper for efforts that aim to address health system challenges using Big Data from electronic health records and other informatics systems.

S27: Panel – Training the Informatics Research Workforce, Part 1: Program Fundamentals

V. Florance, National Library of Medicine; J. Hurdle, University of Utah; R. Kukafka, Columbia University; W. Hersh, OHSU; C. Gadd, Vanderbilt University; A. McCray, Harvard Medical School

For more than 40 years, universities have offered training in biomedical informatics. From the four programs funded by the National Library of Medicine in 1972 that trained physicians to use computers to solve information management problems, informatics training has become broader and more diversified, ranging from certificate programs to post-doctoral fellowships. In an era when every health-related field depends upon computers for capture, storage, organization, management, analysis and dissemination of health data, information and knowledge, the need for more trained informaticians is indisputable.

We present eTACTS, a Web search engine that allows users to select eligibility tags to filter clinical trial search results. A controlled vocabulary of frequent tags is automatically mined by cross-processing clinical trial eligibility criteria and used to index all the trials in ClinicalTrials.gov. After an initial search, these tags are presented to the users as an interactive tag cloud for iterative reduction of resulting trials. The cloud is dynamically updated at every tag selection with respect to the tag frequency and co-occurrences in the remaining trials.

Regenstrief Institute’s Gopher Order Entry System: Advances in Provider Collaboration and Clinical Decision SupportJ. Duke, D. Martin, B. Mamlin, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University

The Regenstrief Institute, a pioneer in physician order entry and clinical decision support systems, has recently deployed the next generation of its CPOE and EMR platform known as the Medical Gopher. This ‘homegrown’ system is now in production use at Wishard/Eskenazi Health System in Indianapolis. The first focus of this demonstration will be novel approaches to provider collaboration, including shared annotation of the chart data, patient timelines, and group chat functionality. The second area of focus will be clinical decision support, including pre-emptive alerts, ambient notifications, user-friendly warnings, and an advanced rule-authoring tool for customizing the CDS experience. We will also be discussing the timeline for open-source release of the Gopher system.

EHR data is increasingly seen as a valuable, efficient resource for research. Currently, most multi-institutional consortia that utilize clinical EHR data consist primarily of academic medical centers, and industry’s access to EHR data is mainly limited to commercially-available datasets. Building on an earlier pilot’s success, MEDIC (Multi-site Electronic Data Infectious Disease Consortium), is an example of an industry-health care delivery organization collaboration leveraging EHR data for research. Sponsored by Pfizer, the consortium involves four health systems (Baylor, Henry Ford, University of Maryland, Washington University) that represent geographic, practice environment, and patient population diversity. A centralized, de-identified database will be constructed, to which all participants will contribute, that can be used to answer research questions determined by the consortium steering committee. This panel will address issues involved in both creation and function of the consortium from industry and delivery organization viewpoints.

S35: Panel – Health IT: Assessment of Safe and Effective Use – Measuring the HIT Hazard Function(eligible for Dental CE)

B. Middleton, Vanderbilt University; C. Nohr, Aalborg University; J. Walker, University of New South Wales; F. Magrabi, Siemens Healthcare

Successful adoption and effective use of Health IT is a central tenet of national policy objectives around the Western world. Health IT adoption and use is viewed as a prerequisite to effect cost control and quality improvement for healthcare delivery. However, with the broad adoption of health IT certain unintended consequences of its use are being observed. This panel will focus on the potential hazards which may arise from the untoward use of health IT, discuss the primary sociotechnical, usability and human factors related issues, and understand basic approaches to defining and measuring a Health IT hazard function. Examples and illustrations will be presented from three countries: US, Australia, and Denmark.

N. Peek, Academic Medical Center; J. Sun, IBM TJ Watson Research Center; J. Holmes, University of Pennsylvania; F. Martin-Sanchez, The University of Melbourne; R. Bellazzi, Università degli Studi di Pavia

The life and biomedical sciences are massively contributing to the big data revolution, due to advances in genome sequencing technology and digital imaging, growth of clinical data warehouses, increased role of the patient in managing their own health information and rapid accumulation of biomedical knowledge. The purpose of this panel discussion is to outline current trends and challenges of big data analytics in biomedicine and health. In particular, the panelists will cover examples from three phases of the big data analytics in biomedicine and healthcare: 1) data collection: the Quantified Self (QS) movement enables collecting and sharing patient data in a near continuous basis using various devices such as smartphone through a common interface. Patients can manage and share their own data with others. These high frequency patient data provide new opportunities and challenges for analytics. 2) data sharing: distributed research networks (DRN) provides an effective mechanism to perform large-scale studies using data from multiple clinical sites. We will discuss the history of DRN and possible pathways for DRNs of the future. 3) data mining: Patient similarity learning aims at constructing an appropriate distance measure of patients for a given clinical context using their electronic health records. We will describe a large-scale analytic pipeline that computes the patient similarity measure and its associated applications.











S37: Panel – Training the Informatics Research Workforce, Part 2: Fostering Interdisciplinarity


V. Florance, National Library of Medicine; P. Miller, Yale University; L. Ohno-Machado, University of California San Diego; G. Hripcsak, Columbia University; W. Hersh, OHSU; G. Demiris, University of Washington

For more than 40 years, universities have offered training in biomedical informatics. From the four programs funded by the National Library of Medicine in 1972 that trained physicians to use computers to solve information management problems, informatics training has become broader and more diversified, ranging from certificate programs to post-doctoral fellowships. In an era when every health-related field depends upon computers for capture, storage, organization, management, analysis and dissemination of health data, information and knowledge, the need for more trained informaticians is indisputable. In this two-session panel, nine program directors of NLM-funded informatics training programs will cover basic concepts ,tools and techniques of graduate training in biomedical informatics, and look to future workforce needs in the field. In Part 1, Program Fundamentals, five presenters will cover core curriculum, content development; trainee recruitment to enhance diversity, career outcomes, and training for future workforce needs. In Part 2, Fostering Interdisciplinarity, five presenters will cover approaches for interdisciplinary programming: defining tracks across domain or departmental boundaries, mentoring and tracking trainee accomplishments, building a sense of community and models for online teaching.

Vast quantities of data are now being generated by the healthcare system. Clinical data and claims data—in both structured and unstructured forms—have tremendous potential to complement traditional knowledge discovery methods. New insights can be gained by analyzing data in large populations, especially when randomized controlled trials are not feasible. Successful leveraging of Big Data in healthcare will require novel methods to store the data, query the data, and analyze the data to make knowledge discoveries. On this panel, representatives from AMIA’s Industry Advisory Council will describe the methods their organizations are currently using to handle Big Data. Topics will include areas such as data repositories, Extract/Transform/Load strategies, semantic modeling, natural language processing, analytics tools, algorithm development and artificial intelligence.

Dixon, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis/Department of Veterans Affairs; S. Grannis, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University, School of Medicine; M. Tucker, Regenstrief Institute; D. Hemler, Indiana Health Information Exchange

Meaningful use criteria are driving the adoption and use of routine electronic laboratory reporting (ELR) to electronic health record (EHR) systems as well as public health agencies. While certified EHR systems and components enable provider organizations to manually route ELR cases reportable under state laws, none have the capacity to automatically detect and route positive cases of notifiable disease. In this demonstration, a novel operational system developed at Regenstrief to detect positive cases of notifiable disease using routine ELR message content will be presented. System developers and researchers will highlight how others can use the open source system to improve public health reporting within their own organizations.

Query Health across Communities: The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene PilotJ. Klann, Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital/Partners Healthcare System, Inc.; M. Buck, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene



Theme: Public Health Informatics and Biosurveillance


MOnDAY, nOVeMBer 18


Understanding population-level health trends is essential to effective public health. Therefore, the ONC has fostered the Query Health Initiative, a collaboration to develop a national architecture for distributed, population-level health queries across multiple platforms. This architecture is now available as a reference implementation, which is being used in three pilots. Here we demonstrate one pilot, showing how the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is using the Query Health reference implementation to query a network of distributed clinical practices to measure population health across a community. This information will enable both local and state officials to respond to real-time public health concerns for both chronic and acute conditions. This pilot employs Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) for data analytics and PopMedNet (PMN) for distributed querying in a Query-Health-compliant environment. The Query Health Reference Implementation lays a foundation for dynamic, distributed queries across diverse clinical systems with disparate data models.

Is the concept of “Big Data” going to live up to the increasing hype of its promise to transform knowledge discovery, population health management, clinical decision support, and predictive analytics? How does one even define “Big Data”? On this panel, representatives from AMIA’s Industry Advisory Council will briefly discuss how their organizations define, leverage and manage Big Data. Following the presentations, the panel will engage in a lively debate on the role Big Data will play in shaping the healthcare industry over the next five years and what industry sectors will most effectively employ Big Data to effect change.

PP4: President’s Picks – Innovations in Standards & Standards Development: What you Might have Missed in 2013, and will Need to Know Next Year

D. Fridsma, ONC; R. Dolin, Lantana Group; C. Chute, Mayo Clinic; S. Huff, Intermountain Healthcare; R. Kush, CDISC; C. Jaffe, HL7

The simple unambiguous sharing of healthcare data is insufficient to meet the needs of our delivery systems if we are to improve quality and reduce costs. Traditional standards development processes are too slow and inefficient. Moreover, the means for exchanging data has not facilitated data reuse for a broad range of purposes, including quality evaluation, decision support, clinical research, primary medical science application, public health, and comparative effectiveness. The standards needed to support these goals must rapidly evolve despite an environment constrained by the limited availability of resources, by government regulation and by a rapidly evolving knowledge base. Standards development and the organizations that provide those standards are applying innovative approaches to achieving these demands.

S47: Panel – Findings from a Five-year Clinical Decision Support Demonstration Project and the Road Ahead

K. Chaney, Agency for Heathcare Research and Quality; R. Shiffman, Yale University School of Medicine; B. Middleton, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; J. White, Agency for Heathcare Research and Quality; J. Reider, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT

Prior to the HITECH Act and Meaningful Use, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded two large demonstrations (Clinical Decision Support Consortium (CDSC) and Guidelines Into DEcision Support (GLIDES) in 2008 to apply varying approaches to develop, implement and evaluate clinical decision support (CDS) to enhance care delivery. The CDSC project centers on a services-oriented approach for managing clinical knowledge and delivering CDS across care providers and EHR systems, while the GLIDES project focuses on a broad-based model addressing knowledge synthesis, formalization, and implementation. Both approaches showcase routes to develop, deliver and evaluate CDS. This panel will highlight key findings and lessons learned from both projects and approaches for how to generate and synthesize knowledge from practice based-guidelines, transform knowledge into an executable format, and evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation in the midst of changing technologies and standards, and Meaningful Use criteria. After looking at various approaches demonstrated by the projects, AHRQ and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT will review future initiatives for improving the quality and safety of patient care through the implementation of end-to-end quality improvement programs that include both CDS and quality measurement.

S48: Panel – Studying Those Who Study Us: Diana Forsythe and the Importance of Interpretive Research in Informatics


L. Novak, Vanderbilt University; J. Aarts, Erasmus University Rotterdam ; G. Fitzpatrick, Vienna University of Technology; P. Gorman, Oregon Health and Science University; M. Reddy, The Pennsylvania State University

Diana Forsythe was a pioneering anthropologist who raised innovative and unsettling questions about the role of information technology in life and work, and differences in perspective between designers and users of technology. Diana was known for her tenacious defense of the integrity of ethnographic research, and for her enthusiastic examination of the “culture of no culture” that is American science and biomedicine. We examine Diana’s ongoing influence and relevance from the varied perspectives of four distinguished informatics researchers.

S49: Panel – Sharing of Genomic Information: Perspectives from Stakeholders(eligible for Dental CE)

J. Warner, Vanderbilt University; G. Alterovitz, Harvard Medical School; J. Denny, Vanderbilt University; F. Lee, Oracle Corporation; K. Hughes, Massachusetts General Hospital

With the falling price of genome-level data generation, large amounts of genotyping data are being produced at an accelerating rate. There is increasing interest in sharing genotype and phenotype data for both research and clinical purposes across geographic sites. “Clinicogenomic” data networks have enabled increased understanding of both rare diseases and common diseases that have genetic heterogeneity. Sharing of genomic information holds great promise for enabling personalized medicine and could be the basis of a “human phenome project”.









SCIenTIFIC SeSSIOnS10:30 AM - 12:00 PM | CONtINUED

Such sharing is also an important step towards achieving a “Rapid Learning System” model, which incorporates multiple sources of information from multiple stakeholders, ideally leading to rapid implementation of new knowledge and quality improvement efforts. However, the technical challenges of transferring large amounts of genomic data, presenting the data in a format accessible by clinicians and patients, and the sensitive nature of the information being shared requires the input of many different affected parties. The purpose of this panel is to provide perspectives from stakeholders representing the perspectives of clinicians, researchers, standards organizations, and industry.

S50: Panel – Social Media and Me, An EduPanel – What is Social Media and How Can I Best use Social Media for Research and Education?


D. Sands, Harvard Medical School; B. Crotty, Harvard Medical School; M. Adams, Duke University Medical Center; G. Eysenbach, University of Toronto

Who doesn’t have a Twitter handle by now? Has someone asked you to join LinkedIn? There is an ongoing, undeniable explosion of social media consumption by our society including health professionals. In medicine, a separate movement is taking place towards promotion of data sharing and critics are trying to grasp a new transition to have publications available as open access. As a result, many online open access journals and journal-lets are appearing and many self-declared experts are tweeting opinions, setting up facebook pages, and regularly contributing to the blogosphere of information. How will we all filter this information? This panel will explore basics about social media and will challenge the audience perception about the potential impact on our research, education and patient care, including the pros and cons of social media in medicine. Panelists specifically aim to provide education for attendees about fundamentals of participating in the social media stream as well as to provide new knowledge about the power and risks of being in the stream.

FURTHeR: An Infrastructure for Clinical, Translational, and Comparative Effectiveness ResearchR. Gouripeddi, J. Facelli, R. Bradshaw, D. Schultz, B. LaSalle, P. Warner, R. Butcher, R. Madsen, P. Mo, University of Utah

The Federated Utah Research and Translational Health e-Repository (FURTHeR) is an informatics platform that supports federation and integration of data from heterogeneous and disparate data sources. FURTHeR uses informatics and industry standards and is open and sharable. It systematically supports federated and centralized data governance models. FURTHeR links heterogeneous data types, including clinical, biospecimen and patient-generated data, empowers researchers with the ability to assess feasibility of particular clinical research studies, export biomedical datasets for analysis, and create aggregate databases for comparative effectiveness research (CER). With the added ability of probabilistic linking of unique individuals from these sources, FURTHeR is able to identify cohorts for clinical research and reduce enrollment issues. In this presentation we will cover FURTHeR’s technical architecture and its components that use informatics standards, the current use-cases FURTHeR supports, deployment details, and a live demonstration of its use in clinical research.

Clinical Phenotyping with the Analytic Information WarehouseA. Post, T. Kurc, R. Willard, H. Rathod, M. Mansour, A. Kalsanka Pai, W. Torian, S. Agravat, S. Sturm, J. Saltz, Emory University

Healthcare quality improvement and research increasingly leverage large electronic health record (EHR) datasets to understand and compare patient populations. Much information exists in the medical record implicitly as billing codes, clinical events and observations, and concepts embedded in text reports. Clinical phenotyping promises to infer useful diagnostic, therapeutic response and process information from those data using temporal pattern finding, concept extraction from text and other techniques. The Analytic Information Warehouse (AIW) is our open source clinical phenotyping system. We have implemented a web user interface for AIW, Eureka! Clinical Analytics, for clinical investigators and IT personnel to specify phenotypes as temporal patterns, perform data processing, and extract found phenotypes and data into existing analysis tools. Eureka aims to enable clinical investigators and analysts to manage phenotype definitions and perform phenotyping in a highly automated fashion with limited IT resources. We will demonstrate Eureka’s data import, phenotype







specification and data processing functionality. These features aim to support analytics techniques such as “hot spotting” and predictive modeling, as well as clinical research that uses routinely collected data to understand how interventions perform in the real world.

PP5: Preparing the Health IT Workforce of the Future(eligible for Dental CE)

J. Murphy, ONC; W. Hersh, Oregon Health & Science University; N. Morganti, Midwest Community College Health IT Consortium, Cuyahoga Community College; P. Grundy, Healthcare Transformation

Health IT implementation thus far has focused on electronic data capture and information exchange; we are only beginning to understand the power of health IT as a tool to truly transform our health care system. So as we grapple with clinical and payment reform models like patient-entered medical home (PCMH) and accountable care organizations (ACO), it is important to not only understand the role of IT when implementing these models in care settings, but also to consider the changes required for preparing our future health IT workforce. Panelists will address these changes, as well as describe the importance of incorporating topics such as patient engagement, inter-collaboratory practice and big data analytics into health IT training.

S57: State of the Practice – Special Topics in Biomedical Informatics Graduate Education

Development of Expertise in Biomedical Informatics: It’s More than the CourseworkV. Patel, New York Academy of Medicine/Arizona State University/Columbia University

In this presentation, Dr. Patel will review the cognitive and learning sciences regarding current knowledge about how people develop expertise and competence in any domain, including the relationship between competence and learning. Using specific examples, she will summarize key principles and lessons learned that are applicable to development of expertise in Biomedical Informatics (BMI) and their role in addressing current and future needs for designing curricula and learning environments. Dr. Patel will argue that developing expertise and learning, the two components of any training program, are not the same and particular attention has to be paid to both of these aspects of the program. Developing a better understanding of the field of practice (vis-à-vis, BMI in action) will guide in shaping theories of human performance, technology-based learning, and scientific and professional collaboration.

Providing an Optimal Educational Experience in Informatics: Moving Beyond the CurriculumE. Shortliffe, New York Academy of Medicine/Arizona State University/Columbia University

In this presentation, Dr. Shortliffe will summarize key lessons learned from his experience as an informatics training-program innovator at Stanford, Columbia, and Arizona State Universities. The focus will be on those elements of a training program that are less structured and that deal with the culture, professionalism, and survival skills of those who enter the field. There will be no discussion of the content of courses and the core skills that need to be acquired in the classroom. Dr. Shortliffe will argue that what happens in the classroom may have less to do with the quality and capabilities of the graduates than what they encounter in other aspects of the training program. Specific examples will be offered from the training programs mentioned, along with general principles that can help to guide the design of both existing and evolving training programs in the field.

S58: Panel – Clinical Decision Support (CDS): From Theory to Practice

J. Kannry, Mount Sinai Medical Center; D. Bates, Partners Healthcare; T. Hongsermeier, Lahey Clinic; M. Krall, Kaiser Permanente-Northwest

The promise of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) has always been to transform patient care and improve patient safety with delivery of timely and appropriate recommendations that are both patient-specific and more often than not appropriately actionable. However, the users of CDS, providers, are frequently bombarded with inappropriate and inapplicable CDS that is frequently neither informational, integrated into the workflow, patient-specific, and may present out of date and irrelevant recommendations. The life cycle of Clinical Decision Support begins with a request for CDS, continues with design and implementation, and concludes with ongoing knowledge maintenance. This panel will look at how using the best science and latest knowledge regarding CDS can create request and maintenance processes that work in the real world. The full gamut of CDS options will be covered. Dr. David Bates will present the best science and knowledge behind CDS that works. Dr. Joseph Kannry will present a case study of CDS requests and design processes that use this science to generate useful, useable, and timely patient-specific recommendations. Dr. Tonya Hongsermeier will present best practices in knowledge maintenance. Finally, Dr. Michael Krall will present a case study of how knowledge maintenance at Kaiser Permanente results in appropriate and up-to-date CDS.

S59: Panel – Closed Loop Care Coordination: The Critical Linkages and Shared Concepts


S. Collins, Partners Healthcare Systems/ Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School; P. Dykes, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School; P. Stetson, Columbia University; L. Samal, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School; R. Rocha, Partners Healthcare Systems/ Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School

Care coordination can improve patient outcomes by establishing common ground through interpersonal communication and prevention of information loss between members of the care team across the care spectrum. Electronic health records (EHR) can aid in establishing a closed loop of communication by clinicians across settings, domains, disciplines, and time. One particular area for improvement is around goals of care, both documenting and tracking progress toward those goals. Goals of care are common to all clinical disciplines but remain siloed in EHRs. This interdisciplinary panel will present four specific use cases to demonstrate how linkages within computer-based documentation workflow can facilitate a closed-loop system for the delivery of coordinated care. Each use case will describe a clinical scenario that demonstrates the need for one or more critical linkages and present the current state, barriers, facilitators, and potential solutions for coordinated closed loop computer-based documentation to support that use case. The learning objectives of this panel are: 1) to highlight common care coordination concepts between disciplines, 2) to promote a common understanding of linkages needed to support closed loop care coordination, and 3) to identify incremental steps toward that vision grounded in clinical use cases.

S60: Panel – Shared Resources, Shared Code, and Shared Activities in Clinical Natural Language Processing

G. Savova, Harvard Medical School; W. Chapman, University of California; N. Elhadad, Columbia University; M. Palmer, University of Colorado

Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the clinical narrative has been a major effort within medical informatics. In our 2011 panel we discussed one of the main barriers for advancement of the field – the lack of large shared, annotated corpora to be leveraged for methods development and system evaluations. In the general domain, the gold-standard annotated Penn Treebank fostered truly revolutionary advances, and research papers are made available open access through the ACL Anthology. There have been a number of shared tasks establishing the state of the art, from lexical semantics to discourse level tasks. Pedersen (Pedersen, 2008) further challenged the NLP community to close the loop by releasing code open source to enable experiment reproducibility. On the other hand, these four pillars of our scientific clinical NLP community are only half-built. It is widely accepted that even de-identified, clinical datasets are sharable only under certain conditions. The flagship journals in our domain, Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association and Journal of Biomedical Informatics, allow open-access of publications albeit for a significant cost accrued by the authors. The open source availability of the tools described in these publications is rare. This panel discusses these topical issues – shared resources, code, and activities.

In the age of Meaningful Use, the career landscape for informatics students has expanded greatly. It is crucial that the next-generation informatics workforce is well-prepared for the diverse opportunities and the upcoming health information technology (HIT) trends. The AMIA Student Working Group proposes a “Career Panel” of informatics professionals that will offer perspectives and helpful advices to students on their career opportunities and professional development. This year’s panel will feature panelists from both academia and industry, and from different professional backgrounds (e.g., technical vs. clinical or health). Panelists will also discuss upcoming trends on HIT and informatics, and the implications of these trends on students’ careers. The panel will better prepare today’s informatics students for tomorrow’s workforce expectations, which will have a positive impact for the success of the informatics field in the future.

S67: Panel – Integration and Interoperability of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs

J. Finnell, Regenstrief Institute; B. Yeaman, Heartland Health; T. Fernandes, INSPECT; M. Allain, National Boards of Pharmacy; C. Line, MITRE Corporation

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has declared that the United States is in the midst of an epidemic of prescription drug overdose deaths (figure 1). Deaths from prescription drugs now outnumber deaths from heroin and cocaine combined. In response to this epidemic, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) has sponsored pilot programs to test the effects of expanding state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP) utilizing health information technology (HIT). The goal of these pilot programs is to increase timely access to PDMP data by providers, emergency department physicians, and pharmacists in an effort to reduce prescription drug misuse and overdose. The discussants will share an overview of the pilot implementations from Oklahoma and Indiana. Sharing information about the implementation models and key learning’s will provide stakeholders with the initial framework to pursue building their own connections. Panel members will share best practices to help health care professionals combat prescription drug misuse at the moment of care with real solutions, real results, and real stories.

S68: Panel – International Perspectives on the Digital Infrastructure for The Learning Healthcare System


B. Delaney, King’s College London; J. Ethier, University of Rennes; V. Curcin, Imperial College; D. Corrigan, Royal College of Surgeons; C. Friedman, University of Michigan

In October 2011, a group of 12 senior nursing informatics experts from the American Medical Informatics Association’s Nursing Informatics Working Group (AMIA NI-WG) convened to address the relevancy of nursing informatics to clinical practice, research and education. The NI-WG task force used face-to-face meetings and monthly webconferences to map out a nursing informatics approach and model that would deliver value to all nursing domains. Using the Scan Focus Act methodology [1], the group sought to advance the science of nursing informatics through use of standards for terminology, domain analysis models, and quality and data exchange standards while clarifying and strengthening the intersection of informatics, clinical practice, education and research. This panel will present an NI model for Practice-Research-Education in detail with its underlying assumptions. The Moderator will engage the audience in dialogue to critique the work and proposed model. Learning objectives are: 1) Summarize current work on nursing informatics state of the science, 2) Apply the use case presented to illustrate aspects of informatics as a science and a process in the development of nursing knowledge for practice, and 3) Create strategies to promote the value-add proposition for other nursing domains using nursing informatics components as described by the model.

Meric-Bernstam, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center/The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

Personalized medicine is not a new concept, but it is only recently become practical. However, for personalized medicine to become routine, rather than the exception, formidable information challenges must be addressed. The Institute for Personalized Cancer Therapy at MD Anderson Cancer Center is partnering with the UT School of Biomedical Informatics in Houston to develop tools and methods that enable routine delivery of personalized medicine. This panel will discuss: 1) the clinical problem, 2) processing the molecular data, 3) identifying clinically relevant variants from the literature and 4) processing the clinical data and Decision Support. The panel includes practicing clinicians who are practicing personalized medicine and informaticians who are developing technologies to enable personalized practice. We will use the example of personalized cancer therapy, but our work is intended to be generally applicable.

S77: Panel – Towards Computational Reuse of Clinical Research Eligibility Criteria with Collaboration across Academia, Industry, and Standardization Organizations

C. Weng, Columbia University; M. Cantor, Pfizer, Inc/New York University; A. Taweel, King’s College London; T. Arvanitis, The University of Birmingham; R. Kush, CDISC

Central to clinical and translational research activities, clinical research eligibility criteria are perceived, defined, interpreted, and implemented by various stakeholders in a series of translations during protocol authoring, research subject recruitment, electronic screening for cohort selection for clinical research studies, systematic reviews, and evidence-based medicine. The efficiency and integrity of these research activities heavily rely on the quality and clarity of clinical research eligibility criteria. However, the free-text clinical research eligibility criteria are fraught with problems, including ambiguities and the lack of representativeness of the real-world patient population. In the past 25 years, the biomedical informatics community, from academia to industry, and from USA to UK, has spent significant efforts, combining knowledge representation and natural language processing, to improve the standardization and computational reuse of clinical research eligibility criteria across various stakeholders throughout the clinical and translational research pipeline.

S78: Panel – Research Informatics: Re-engineering the Research Enterprise

M. Weiner, AstraZeneca; P. Payne, P. Embi, The Ohio State University; S. Murphy, Massachusetts General Hospital

Recent incentives favoring the adoption and meaningful use of information technology in clinical practice are helping to increase the comprehensiveness and quality of routinely collected electronic patient information. Research informaticists play a vital role in capturing, organizing, visualizing, analyzing, understanding and relaying to others the full breadth, depth and longitudinal scope of these data. This panel will describe how the discipline of research informatics and the products of this work add value to multidisciplinary research teams and interinstitutional partnerships that span the full spectrum of research endeavors, from basic science innovations to translational research and clinical trials to health services research and post marketing safety surveillance

S79: Panel – Ethical, Legal, and Public Policy Barriers to Unleashing the Full Power of Consumer Health Informatics for Care Delivery

Consumer Health Informatics (CHI) is among the fastest developing fields in advanced medical care. Various trials have shown superior effectiveness or cost efficiency of particular interventions with essentially the same









scrutiny as when approving a new pharmaceutical treatment. Aging societies with an impending shortage of healthcare professionals could benefit from effective CHI services that allow human clinicians to concentrate on the truly demanding cases that require in-person visits. However, those CHI services that free up human clinicians the most because they operate only virtually, without in-person contact between the provider and the patient, are generally fraught with legal problems, both in the U.S. and Germany. Rebalancing principles of medical ethics (such as respect of autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, distributive justice) may prompt national legislatures and medical professional associations to reconsider the acceptability of putting CHI innovations into practice. CHI has great potentials but risks may not be known well enough yet. In the panel we want to explore the opportunities and risks from the perspectives of ethics, law, and medicine. The panel will explore whether legislation should move towards giving approved services a legal place in regular healthcare and what ethics considerations could support respective societal processes.

S80: Panel – Public and Global Health Informatics Year in Review

Dixon, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, School of Informatics and Computing/ Regenstrief Institute/Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Health Services Research and Development Service; A. Turner, University of Washington School of Public Health/University of Washington School of Public Health; J. Pina, RTI International/Emory University; H. Kharrazi, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; J. Richards, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The disciplines of public health and global health informatics are rapidly expanding within the field of biomedical informatics. Increased attention and activity by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. as well as health ministries, the World Health Organization, and non-governmental organizations are generating new knowledge and lessons regarding the development, implementation, and use of information systems in health care delivery around the globe. Thus a growing body of literature now contains important informatics science and methods from international informatics activities, stimulating the need to synthesize the knowledge for the field. In this panel, a review of recent literature in the areas of public health and global health informatics will be presented. Key articles revealing trends, knowledge, methods, and lessons will be summarized to bring attendees up-to-date on the use of informatics in resource-constrained settings.

S87: Panel – Using Behavioral Economic Principles to Improve Informatics Applications

J. Linder, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; J. Doctor, University of Southern California; D. Meeker, M. Friedberg, RAND; S. Persell, Northwestern University

Informatics interventions often do not deliver expected improvements in cost, safety, and quality. Implicitly, many informatics interventions are designed and implemented using a “standard economic model,” which assumes that decision-makers are rational, seeking only to maximize benefit for themselves and their patients. The standard model assumes that exposure to clinically relevant information such as reminders and alerts will lead to high-quality, predictable, rational decisions. Behavioral economics recognizes that people, including physicians, appear to make irrational decisions when they confront uncertainty, weigh present and future tradeoffs, or face complexity. Behavioral economics recognizes limits to attention and cognition and identifies deviations from “rational” behavior that is predictable. The application of behavioral economics to informatics requires the identification of “errors” and the subsequent reframing or restructuring physicians’ choice options in a way that leads to better decision-making. This panel consists of collaborators on a national, multi-EHR, randomized controlled trial of behavioral economic interventions to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing. The panelists will review underlying behavioral economic theory, providing medical and non-medical examples. The panelists will consider how behavioral economics can inform the design of informatics applications that facilitate better decisions with an ultimate goal of providing patients with higher-value, safer, more effective care.





S88: Panel – Community Health Workers and Information Technology: Needs Assessment for a New Opportunity

M. Gibbons, H. Lehmann, Johns Hopkins University; Y. Harris, Health Resources and Services Agency; R. Sloan, Johns Hopkins Health System; H. Young, Johns Hopkins University

Community Health Workers (CHWs) increasingly provide vital services to clinics, in general, and accountable care organizations (ACOs), in particular. CHWs are medical laity brought in to aid community members at a variety of points along the care continuum who, therefore, undertake a wide variety of tasks. Only recently have CHW groups worked at taking advantage of IT in different forms to accomplish those tasks. In this panel, we will explore this new opportunity for a range of perspectives: That of CHW organizations, of informaticians trying to support their activities, of payers and the federal government trying to reduce the cost of care and to maintain or improve health quality

S89: Panel – Implementing and Harmonizing Nursing Terminology Standards to Support Clinical Documentation and Evidence-based Nursing Practice

P. Dykes, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School; N. Hardiker, University of Salford; D. Ariosto, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; T. Kim, University of California Davis; K. Saranto, University of Eastern Finland; J. Englebright, HCA

There are a number of standard nursing and healthcare terminologies in use across the world. There are also many implementations of these terminologies within EHR systems. Even within a particular implementation, several different healthcare terminologies may be required, and these may be positioned within a range of different record structures. There is a practical imperative to harmonize content from the multiple terminologies. Harmonization of content from different terminologies into common structures will ensure interoperability between systems and will facilitate data capture to support building an evidence base from and for nursing practice. The purpose of this panel is to explore, through four case studies, the practical use of nursing terminologies in EHRs. The case studies will cover a) the value of terminologies in clinical practice; b) use of standards to support care planning and event reporting; and c) harmonization of different terminologies to promote interoperability. The aim is to stimulate thinking, to build and consolidate understanding and to provoke discussion about the use and the value of nursing terminologies in EHRs. During the panel attendees will be encouraged to share their own experiences of implementation.

S90: Panel – Health eDecisions: a Public-private Partnership to Enable Standards-based Clinical Decision Support at Scale

K. Kawamoto, University of Utah; T. Hongsermeier, Lahey Health; A. Boxwala, Meliorix, Inc.; V. Lee, Zynx Health Incorporated; J. Reider, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT

The ubiquitous availability of robust, standards-based clinical decision support (CDS) has been an important goal of the biomedical informatics community for many years. While many notable efforts have been undertaken in this area, attainment of this goal has remained elusive. In 2012, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) launched the Health eDecisions (HeD) initiative to directly address this important challenge. The HeD initiative is a public-private partnership to develop and validate interoperability specifications that can be widely adopted to enable CDS at scale. Included in the scope of HeD is the support for two broad uses cases: the sharing of knowledge artifacts for import into CDS systems (Use Case 1) and the sharing of patient-specific inferencing capabilities through CDS Guidance Services (Use Case 2). In this panel, HeD leaders and community members – including the CMO of ONC and a CDS vendor executive – will provide an overview of HeD, its methodology, and its deliverables. HeD deliverables include functional requirements, interoperability standards, and pilot implementations of the standards by commercial CDS and electronic health record (EHR) vendors.
