What is Informatics?
• Informatics is the science of information, where information is defined as data with meaning. Biomedical-/Clinical-/Public Health- informatics is the science of information applied to, or studied in the context of Biomedical-/Clinical-/Public Health.
Bernstam, E., Smith, J., & Johnson, T. What is Biomedical Informatics? (2009). J. of BiomedicalInformatics, 43(2010): 104-110.

… Clinical Informatics
• American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) recently approved the Core Content of “subspecialty” of Clinical Informatics– Clinical Informaticians transform health care by
analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems
… that enhance individual, population health outcomes, improve patient care, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship
Gardner et al. (2009). Core content for the subspecialty of clinical informatics. JAMIA, 16(2), 153-157.

Tremendous Opportunity Now
• Meaningful use (Blumenthal, 2010)– Improving quality, safety and efficiency– Engaging patients in their care– Increasing coordination of care– Improving the health status of the population– Ensuring privacy and security
• Eligible professionals and eligible hospitals started receiving incentive payments for achieving meaningful use of EHRs in 2011Hersh, W. (2010). Biomedical and Health Informatics: Improving Health,
Healthcare, and Biomedical Research with InformationTechnology. Presented at the Annual CTSA Conference, Washington DC.

The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
• Information technology (IT) has the potential to transform healthcare as it has transformed many parts of our economy and society in recent decades. Properly implemented, health IT can:
– Integrate technology into the flow of clinical practice as an asset, while minimizing unproductive data entry work.
– Give clinicians real-time access to complete patient data, and provide them with information support to make the best decisions.
– Help patients become more involved in their own care.
– Enable a range of population-level public health monitoring and real-time research.– Improve clinical trials, leading to more rapid advances in personalized medicine.– Streamline processes, increase their transparency, and reduce administrative
overhead, as it has in other industries.
– Lead to the creation of new high-technology markets and jobs.– Help support a range of economic reforms in the healthcare system that will be
needed to address our Nation’s long-term fiscal challenges.

Health Informatics
Health Care – provision of care services to an individual, group, and / or population
Health system – organization, policies, quality, data management

dollars • We started our recruitment in late summer 2010 and had
interaction with about 25 students (serious prospects)– 5 recruited to the program (fall of 2010)
• We are currently at 31
• UNC’s target is to recruit about 40 students by 2012 for the certificate and (eventually) degree programs
