Researchers at the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research (SCTR) Institute have developed a novel bioinformatic tool called RINS, the Research Integrated Network of Systems, that can be used to evaluate whether improvements to the clinical trial process are making a difference. Their results, published online on March 17 in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association
The Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) at the University of Washington (UW) maintains a REDCap instance that has seen nearly exponential growth since its inception in 2009, making it one of the largest globally. We've been successful in operating that instance with a modest resource allocation and computational infrastructure. Before the pandemic, we had scaled to nearly 20k
The University of Wisconsin Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (UW ICTR) is looking for a Director of Scientific Computing to collaborate with researchers, clinicians, informaticians, IT teams, and external partners and to develop state-of-the-art computing environments at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH). Under the direction of the Chief of Biomedical Informatics
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Center for Data to Health (CD2H) announce the launch of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) Data Enclave. NIH also made a news release on Wednesday September 2, 2020. Faced with the urgent need to address the global pandemic, subject matter experts from the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA)
Researchers at Washington University are using synthetic data to accelerate COVID-19 research and facilitate collaboration among healthcare institutions.
LITTLE ROCK — A national database for patient cancer images at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) will become the storage site for COVID-19 clinical images from across the United States and around the globe, including chest x-rays and CT scans of the body. This week, UAMS also became the first research institution to contribute de-identified images of COVID-19 to the storage
A robust biomedical informatics infrastructure is essential for academic health centers engaged in translational research. There are no templates for what such an infrastructure encompasses or how it is funded. An informatics workgroup within the Clinical and Translational Science Awards network conducted an analysis to identify the scope, governance, and funding of this infrastructure.
In a seminal paper, Case and Deaton (2015) described a growing phenomenon, “diseases of despair” –namely drug overdose, suicide, and alcoholic liver disease--that underlies the first-ever decline in life expectancy in the U.S. and that disproportionately affects white non-Hispanic Americans and those living in rural communities. Addressing conditions within the health system alone ignores that
