AMIA 2014 Annual Symposium

On behalf of the 2014 Scientific Program Committee, I extend a warm welcome to AMIA members, students, practitioners, informatics researchers, industry partners, and others interested in the

rapidly emerging field of informatics to attend the AMIA 2014 Annual Symposium.

AMIA is the academic home for informatics and the Symposium is the leading scientific meeting for biomedical and health informatics research and practice. The AMIA Symposium presents work from many disciplines and specialties including both foundational and applied informatics. We have experienced an unprecedented time of rapid implementation of electronic health records and other health information technologies; now is the time to focus on patient safety, quality of care, and how we can prevent unintended consequences and realize the value of digital information.

The AMIA Annual Symposium is where you and your colleagues come together to share cutting edge ideas that can make a difference. You have the opportunity to learn from others through attending sessions that feature scientific papers, panel discussions, cutting-edge policy presentations, keynotes, tutorials, system demonstrations, poster sessions, and Working Group pre-Symposia, as well as varied exhibitors who actively support AMIA and the ability to host such a high-quality program.

Late Breaking Sessions

LB01: AMIA Task Force on Status and Future Direction of EHRs: Early Findings and Your ThoughtsT. Payne, University of Washington; M. Zaroukian, Sparrow Health System; S. Corley, NextGen; D. McCallie, Cerner Corporation; T. Cullen, Veterans Health Administration

In the last five years, EHR adoption in the United States has risen dramatically, and with it the potential to enhance safety, quality and efficiency of care delivered to Americans. Reaction from clinician users of EHRs has been mixed; the professional and general literature include reports of changed patient-provider interaction, time requirements, and note quality. AMIA and its members have been leaders in the world of EHRs since the beginning. For these reasons, this is an opportune time for AMIA and its members to reflect on current status of EHRs, needed future directions and what AMIA should be doing to shape that future.

AMIA’s Board charged the EHR 2020 Task Force to “create recommendations to assure EHRs fit well into evolving workflow of health care delivery, support team-based care, enhance productivity and safety, and are as easy as possible to adopt, and to advise the AMIA Board on how to advance these recommendations.” The EHR-2020 Task Force includes 12 members with diverse backgrounds (see AMIA website for detail) and has met 5 times by phone and in person to begin to craft AMIAs view of the current status of EHRs, vision for the future and recommendations to our Board to make it happen. In this session we’ll present our early findings and recommendations, and most importantly listen to your ideas on how we can achieve the potential for EHRs for which we have worked so hard for over several decades.

LB02: IOM Recommends Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures for Electronic Health Records(not eligible for Dental CEs)P. Flatley Brennan, University of Wisconsin – Madison; G. Hripcsak, Columbia University; D. Crews, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; other panelists to be announced

Stage 3 Meaningful Use requirements call for including in all Electronic Health Records key indicators of the social and behavioral determinants of health. More importantly, attending to the social and behavioral determinants of health may reverse the trend of premature death arising more from these factors than from genetics or health care errors. This late-breaking session will present the just-released report from the The IOM Committee on Recommended Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures for Electronic Health Records. Patti Brennan, RN, PhD and George Hripcsak, MD, MS will be joined by fellow committee members to reveal the specific domains and recommended measures, explain the committee selection and recommendation process, and explore the informatics processes need to demonstrate attestation of this requirement.

LB03: The Healthcare Services Platform Consortium – An Opportunity to Foster Truly Interoperable Health Care Applications(not eligible for Dental CEs)R. Greenes, Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic; J.M. Overhage, Siemens Health Services; J. Nebeker, US Veteran’s Health Administration; O. Diaz, Harris Corporation Healthcare Solutions; S. Huff, Intermountain Healthcare

After more than a year of planning, the Health Services Platform Consortium (HSPC) has been incorporated as a non-profit entity consisting of providers and vendors that are dedicated to fostering the development and use of interoperable applications in health care. The Consortium’s goal is to respond to needs of health care organizations in the era of health care transformation that are not met by existing systems, and to facilitate development and evolution of products and services for these needs. The primary strategy is to establish a middle tier of standards-based services for data access, privacy and role-based authentication of users along with other capabilities to support business process management and decision support. The HSPC has adopted the HL7 FHIR model for data access. It enables the EHR integration of SMART apps and also applications with additional functionality enabled by the expanded range of middle-tier services to be available. FHIR profiles are based on standardized detailed clinical models that are tightly bound to LOINC®, SNOMED CT®, and RxNORM, The success of the venture will depend on persuading commercial EHR vendors to support the standards-based services as part of their infrastructure. This session will discuss founding principles and status of the organization, the potential marketplace, the technical approach, applicability to VA and other use cases, the role of sandboxes to support development, and a perspective from an EHR vendor.

LB04: HIT Standards: A Year of Change, Innovation and Challenges (not eligible for Dental CEs)

W. Hammond, Duke University School of Medicine; S. Huff, University of Utah School of Medicine/Intermountain Healthcare; D. Fridsma, AMIA; C. Chute, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine; S. Posnack, ONC; C. Jaffe, Health Level 7

Interoperability is hard. Data breaches, failed deadlines for Meaningful Use and ICD-10, and the demise of the joint VA-Military Medicine EHR have been but a few of the challenges for healthcare IT. Some of the needs of patients, providers, and payers went unmet. For many, the dramatic evolution of HIT standards remains a bright light. From CIMI to FHIR, from ICD-11 to SNOMED, and from the ONC Interoperability Roadmap to the report of the JASON Task Force, there is growing optimism about the future of health IT interoperability. 2015 may yet be the breakthrough year.

LB05: Translational Bioinformatics (TBI) HighlightsR. Altman, Stanford University; N. Sarkar, University of Vermont; other participants to be announced

As a new feature at this year’s Annual Symposium, the Translational Bioinformatics (TBI) Highlights is an abbreviated version of the popular TBI Year-in-Review that is presented annually at the Joint Summits on Translational Science. The TBI Highlights will feature key developments that have been reported in the last year, with an eye towards potential advancements in the next year. This session will also include a panel discussion reflecting the perspectives of TBI thought leaders, including past chairs of the TBI Summit.

LB06: Patient Engagement and Beyond: Opportunities for Collaboration between AMIA and the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)(not eligible for Dental CEs)

D. Ahern, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; E. Hekler, Arizona State University; E. Beckjord, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute; B. Hesse, National Cancer Institute

AMIA is the leading national organization that supports advancing the science and practice of informatics. The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) is the leading national organization concerned with the development and integration of behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical science knowledge and techniques relevant to the understanding of health and illness, and the application of this knowledge and these techniques to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Within SBM, the Technology Special Interest Group (formerly named Behavioral Informatics) is focused on the intersection of informatics, technology, and the application of evidence-based approaches drawing from behavioral theories and models. Recently, the governing Board of SBM approved the creation of the Digital Health Council to elevate the importance of behavioral informatics in advancing the mission and goals of SBM. In turn, there are an increasing number of members of SBM who are also members of AMIA and who already recognize the synergy in the activities between the two organizations. The time is right to stimulate more collaboration between the membership of AMIA and SBM. This panel will include presentations that illustrate the type and nature of work undertaken by interdisciplinary teams of biomedical informaticians, behavioral scientists, computer scientists, and engineers that span AMIA and SBM domains of interest to address current and future challenges in the field of informatics. Panel members will invite the audience to discuss practical ways to foster greater collaboration between the two organizations.

S12: Year in Review 1Session Chair: Bonnie Westra

Informatics in the Media Year in ReviewD. Sands, Society for Participatory Medicine/Harvard Medical SchoolWe all think the work we do is important, but how often do issues related to clinical informatics make it into mainstream media? In this year-in-review session we present news items from this past year that touch on clinical informatics. Public and Global Health Informatics Year in ReviewB. Dixon, Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing/Regenstrief Institute/Veterans Health Administration; J. Pina, RTI International/Emory University; J. Richards, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; H. Kharrazi, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; A. Turner, University of Washington School of Public HealthThe 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 insights and lessons 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, methods, and lessons will be summarized to bring attendees up-to-date on the use of informatics in low resource settings.

Student Design Challenge“HealthUp”: An Active Patient Portal Beyond Sickness

AMIA is pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Student Design Challenge (SDC). In this challenge teams of graduate students from different scientific disciplines and of various backgrounds propose creative solutions to a specified problem related to healthcare. The emphasis was novel solutions that incorporate cutting edge computational and interactive technologies and take advantage of the considerable advances in such research areas as biomedical informatics, human-computer interaction, computer science, information visualization, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, among many others.

This year the Student Design Challenge focuses on novel and original approaches to facilitating communication, information exchange, and cooperation between individuals and their healthcare providers. Patient engagement has become a high priority for many healthcare institutions. Many of these institutions use dedicated portals to provide their patients with access to information and a means of communication with their provider. However, for a variety of reasons, the adoption of patient portals still remains low. Student teams were asked to envision new approaches beyond traditional patient portals that will engage patients as equal, informed partners in decisions regarding their healthcare and facilitate increased cooperation between patients and their healthcare providers.

Eight semi-finalists present during Poster Session 1. (Four finalists present their solutions in Session S47 on Tuesday.)

High School ScholarsBuilding New Paths to Biomedical Informatics Education

S34: Our specialty faces an emerging need to expand the pipeline of talented students into Biomedical Informatics. To address this need, several Biomedical Informatics programs around the United States have created summer internship experiences, curriculum partnerships with high schools, and other outreach efforts. While these STEM-C (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, including Computing) outreach efforts have exposed high school students and their teachers to important new opportunities for future career directions, opportunities for these students to disseminate their research have been limited to date.

This year high school students participating in educational and research partnerships with Biomedical Informatics programs around the United States had an opportunity to submit their work. This session features selected presentations from these outreach efforts with high school students participating in research activities with biomedical informatics programs.

The following students submitted presentations. The six presenters are noted and will present in session S34.

Recommendations to Improve Clinical Decision Support for Drug-Drug Interactions(not eligible for CME/CE)

Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) and medication information systems include alerts for potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) as a form of clinical decision support (CDS) to warn prescribers and pharmacists of potentially harmful medication combinations. Overall, systems have fallen short of fulfilling the promise to reduce and/or eliminate patients’ exposure to DDIs.

Identifying and warning about DDIs represents a major challenge for CDS due to:

• poor and conflicting evidence• subjective rating of DDI seriousness• inconsistent or suboptimal presentation of alerts

This ½ day program will discuss contemporary issues regarding CDS for drug interactions, the consensus recommendations and strategies developed by national and international experts to improve the value of drug interaction alerting, and provide a forum for interested parties to give feedback on the proposed recommendations.

2014 I2B2/UTHEALTH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 148:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Jefferson West, Concourse Level

Shared-Task and Workshop on Challenges in Natural Language Processing for Clinical Data(not eligible for CME/CE)

The 2014 i2b2 workshop brings together researchers interested in these four tracks and will give the participants of the four tracks the opportunity to present and discuss their systems.

The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth challenge consisted of two traditional NLP tracks and two applications tracks:

Track 1: De-identificationRemoving protected health information (PHI) is a critical step in making medical records accessible to more people, yet it is a very difficult and nuanced task. This track addressed the problem of de-identifying medical records over a new set of over 1300 patient records, with surrogate PHI for participants to identify.

Track 2: Identifying Risk Factors for Heart Disease Over TimeMedical records for diabetic patients contain information about heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, obesity, smoking status, etc. This track aimed to identify the information that is medically relevant to identifying heart disease risk, and track their progression over sets of longitudinal patient records.

Track 3: Software Usability Assessment This is a new track introduced this year for testing the usability of software. This track is meant to evaluate the i2b2 challenge software for how easily users learn and use the software to achieve their goals.

Track 4: Novel Data UseThe data released for this 2014 i2b2 challenge Tracks 1 (de-identification) and 2 (heart disease risk factors) are unique among publicly available clinical data sets in that they represent longitudinal data selected by an MD for the purpose of identifying risk factors in a diabetic population. However, these data can be used to answer other questions on these patients. This Track is for participants who want to build on their existing systems or the systems developed for Tracks 1 and 2, in order to answer new questions with these data.

Some example questions include (but are not limited to):

• Are the medications having the desired effect? Is the patient responding to treatment for their hypertension? • Is the patient responding to treatment with their lipids? • Is the patient experiencing an adverse effect from their medications? • Are some risk factors more highly correlated with CAD than others?

TUTORIALS AND WORKING GROUP PRE-SYMPOSIA

Saturday, November 15


T01: Personal Health Records, Patient Portals, and Consumer-facing Health Information TechnologiesJ. Wald, RTI/Harvard Medical School; D. Sands, Harvard Medical School/Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center

Consumer information technology solutions are assuming increasing importance in engaging people in self-care and disease management. Personal health information tools provide 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 half-day 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.

WG01: Aligning Consumer Health Informatics Tools with Patient Work: Key Frameworks for DesignL. Novak, Vanderbilt University; R. Valdez, University of Virginia; R. Holden, Vanderbilt University; T. Veinot, University of Michigan

It has been widely accepted that clinical information systems should be designed to align with healthcare work activity. This principle can also apply to the design of consumer health informatics (CHI) applications. Though not always recognized, patients and their family members may allocate significant effort toward their treatment and care - a phenomenon we call “work.” Understanding patient work, including tasks, tools and context, can result in potentially actionable design criteria for applications. This perspective can augment existing CHI design priorities that have traditionally focused on biomedical content and intrapersonal characteristics and skills of patients, such as health literacy, self-efficacy and motivation. A patient work lens extends such foci by attending to the embeddedness of patients’ health management in larger processes and contexts and prioritizing patients’ perspectives on illness management. This tutorial will introduce participants to two complementary frameworks: Patient Work System, grounded in human factors engineering and macroergonomics, and Patient Work Activity, drawing on work practice research in the social sciences. Participants in the tutorial will apply the frameworks using their own cases or a case provided by the tutorial faculty. Application exercises will focus on 1) identifying methods for solving real-world challenges in understanding patient work and 2) translating the information into concrete design elements for CHI tools within an expanded User-Centered Design process.

T02: Workshop on Visual Analytics in HealthcareThis tutorial is partially supported by an unrestricted educational grant from IBM.

J. Caban, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center; D. Gotz, University of North Carolina

As medical organizations move to electronic medical records and increasingly embrace health information technology (HIT), the amount of data available to clinicians is growing 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. The same issues of scale and complexity make it challenging for those performing exploratory analysis with large populations of observational data when conducting comparative effectiveness or outcomes research. Visualization and visual analytics show great potential as methods to help users overcome this challenge. These highly interactive, visual methods can help domain experts explore, filter, analyze, and communicate the large and diverse data found in the modern clinical environment. Visualization and visual analytics has the potential to provide great benefits to each of these three core constituencies: providers, patients, and those studying populations of patients. However, to be successful, visualization-based methods must be developed to align with the unique demands of the healthcare system.

T03: AMIA CMIO Workshop(Fee: $60 for lunch)P. Fu, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; J. Hollberg, Emory Healthcare; J. Kannry, Mt. Sinai Medical Center; R. Schreiber, Holy Spirit Hospital

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 (CMIOs), who are charged with leading informatics change within their organizations. 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.

The promise of big data is its potential to move healthcare forward towards authentic data-driven, personalized care. While big data and the analytics that underpin it have transformed entire industries, healthcare has been slow to derive maximum value from the full spectrum of data generated in health and healthcare. A quickly emerging area of focus is related to the increasingly large data streams that are flowing from home monitoring interventions, sensor technologies, mobile phones, and social networking sites. This pre-symposium, sponsored by the NI-WG, is created to engage transdisciplinary practitioners and researchers who would like to interact with, and learn from, some of the top leaders and educators who work with big data from the technologies mentioned above. Our goal in assembling this group of experts is to not only provide a deeper understanding of the need for skilled individuals, but to also share methods, techniques and experiences with our audience. The focus of this pre-symposium is interdisciplinary in nature.

WG04: Pharmacy TIGER Initiative - Core Competencies in Informatics for Pharmacists(not eligible for Dental CEs)

Core informatics competencies are essential for all health professions. Nursing, through the T.I.G.E.R Initiative plans, have clearly articulated and executed their informatics core competencies for their profession. Medicine through board certification has heighted the attention of the specific competencies needed in clinical informatics. Pharmacy lags behind. This active learning workshop will adapt the work of medicine and nursing to develop a consensus set of core informatics competencies for pharmacists. After consensus competencies are developed, plans for further dissemination and implementation for the pharmacy informatics core competencies will be discussed.

WG05: Data Mining for Medical Informatics (DMMI) - Electronic PhenotypingF. Wang, IBM T. J. Watson Research Center; G. Stiglic, University of Maribor; N. Peek, University of Amsterdam; N. Shah, Stanford University

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. Under this context, data mining techniques, with the goal of knowledge discovery and deriving data driven insights from various data sources, has played a more and more important role in medical informatics. Effective data mining approaches have been applied in many medical problems including drug development, personalized medicine, disease modeling, cohort study, comparative effectiveness research, etc. The main theme of the workshop this year is electronic phenotyping, which aims to identify the set of people for further study. This topic has received a lot of interest and debate recently. We would like to invite the researchers from both academia and industry who are interested in this topic to participate in this workshop, share their opinions and experience, as well as discuss future directions.

WG06: Current and Emerging Issues for Population Health Informatics in Healthcare and Public HealthH. Kharrazi, Johns Hopkins University; J. Loonsk, CGI; B. Massoudi, RTI International

In this pre-symposium, healthcare and public health informatics participants will assimilate, discuss, and advance current and emerging population health informatics 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 (in session topics list) 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.

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 continues the tradition since its inception in 2011 to provide 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 interoperability of clinical NLP systems. Our excellent podium and poster presentations will provide participants a complete picture of current efforts in developing interoperable clinical NLP systems.

Workshop on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) 2014(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 the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care in America. Given the recent emphasis on health information technology (HIT) solutions as part of the ongoing efforts towards healthcare reform and in conjunction with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, these issues are timely and of utmost priority to be addressed. HIT and interactive health care systems have the potential for supporting a wide variety of stakeholders, from patients to providers, individuals to institutions, and policymakers at all levels — both corporate and governmental. However, biomedical informatics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and other research areas related to HIT are often confined in their disciplinary silos making significant trans-disciplinary progress challenging. Discussions at highly specialized conferences, or tracks within conferences, can become deep but disjointed: investigating particular issues in detail but sometimes missing the meta-context and issues from other relevant disciplines represented by specific presentations and conferences.

T04: Imaging Informatics: Foundations and Clinical ApplicationsD. Rubin, Stanford University

Medical imaging is a vital component of healthcare, providing information about disease phenotype. However, only a fraction of the rich biomedical content in images is utilized in research and clinical practice, since images are complex unstructured data, and informatics methods to extract and manage their semantic and quantitative content are only recently being developed. The proliferation of imaging provides enormous opportunities in the Big Data era, which will accelerate discovery and help to improve patient care. Specifically, researchers and clinicians are trying to relate phenotype information in images to molecular and clinical characterizations of disease on large scale in order to use non-invasive imaging for diagnosis and assessment of treatment response. The core imaging informatics topics of semantic annotation of images, integrating images with molecular and clinical data, image mining, content based image retrieval, and image-based decision support, are becoming crucial themes to advance medical practice and biomedical discovery; however, these topics are not commonly reviewed in tutorials. Reviewing and pointing out opportunities for using these imaging informatics methods and applications will ultimately improve our ability to diagnose disease, enable tailoring the optimum treatment to each patient, permit automated tracking disease response, and enable predicting clinical outcomes.

T05: Fundamentals of EHR UsabilityA. Franklin, University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics at Houston/National Center for Cognitive Informatics and Decision Making in Healthcare; M. Walji, National Center for Cognitive Informatics and Decision Making in Healthcare/University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston; J. Zhang, University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics at Houston/National Center for Cognitive Informatics and Decision Making in Healthcare

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 should 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: Clinical Decision Support: A Practical Guide to Developing Your Program to Improve OutcomesR. Jenders, Charles Drew University/UCLA; J. Osheroff, TMIT Consulting, LLC/University of Pennsylvania; J. Teich, Elsevier Health Sciences/Harvard University; 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 clinical and scientific 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, including how to select interventions to deliver targeted improvements in health care; configuring those interventions in specific environments; putting the interventions into action; measuring the results of the CDS interventions and in turn refining the program based on the results.

T07: Introduction to Biomedical InformaticsJ. Hales, Intermountain Healthcare/University of Utah; C. Cimino, New York Medical College/Advanced Clinical Care Informatics Consulting/Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Introduction to Biomedical Informatics provides a historical overview of the development of the field of biomedical informatics, beginning in the 1950s, together with an introduction to the fundamental organizing principles of the discipline. Intended for first time attendees of the Fall Symposium, this tutorial will provide a foundation for ideas presented in the meeting through didactic instruction, interactive discussion and linkage to program content. With the publication of a formal specification of core competencies by AMIA, release of the Office of the National Coordinator of health IT curriculum material, as well as the emergence of a clinical subspecialty certification, this tutorial will provide a practical overview of essential fundamental ideas of the field of biomedical informatics for those newly introduced to the discipline, Shortliffe’s model3 of core methods, techniques and theories applied to application domains will be used as a framework to introduce the broad application of the principles of biomedical informatics at the present time (and within the symposium program). Selected methods and theories will be defined and presented along with representative examples of domain specific applications.

T08: Tutorial on Developing an i2b2 Cell and Client PluginM. Mendis, Partners Healthcare; S. Murphy, Massachusetts General Hospital

Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) (http://www.i2b2.org), is an open source software suite to construct and manage the clinical research chart in the genomic age. With it, query tools become generally available to researchers to search and work with pretention populations. This workshop will focus on the mechanics of setting up and populating an i2b2 database, and the more advanced topic of extending i2b2 software for custom uses needed at a site.

T09: Practical Modeling Issues: Representing Coded and Structured Patient Data in EHR SystemsS. Huff, Intermountain Healthcare/University of Utah School of Medicine

This tutorial will describe the need for formal data models (detailed clinical models) for the EHR and how standard terminologies are used in the models. Starting with use cases encountered while developing EHR systems at Intermountain Healthcare, the instructor will discuss the basic name-value pair paradigm for flexible representation of patient data; the proper roles for standard terminologies like LOINC, SNOMED CT, First Data Bank, and RxNORM; approaches to handling pertinent negative findings and negation; support for precoordinated data entry while storing the data in a post coordinated database; and storage of data that belongs to another patient (baby or donor) in the patient record.

T10: From Sentences to Sense-making, from Utterances to Clinical Understanding, from Narratives to Structured Data: A Tutorial on Qualitative Data Coding Concepts, Methods and ToolsM. Adams, Duke University; B. Kaplan, Yale University; R. Koppel, University of Pennsylvania; C. Kuziemsky, University of Ottawa; K. Ravvaz, University of Wisconsin

We rely on text, images, and other non-numeric information for professional and personal communication to provide care, conduct handoffs, and communicate in other ways and for other purposes. This qualitative data in patient records, handoffs, listserv exchanges, etc. are valuable for research and patient care. Rigorous and time-tested qualitative methods for analyzing progress and nursing notes, interviews, narratives, observations, images, and videos are especially useful in medicine and informatics. Building on many previous successful AMIA sessions on qualitative methods, we use postings to the American Medical Informatics Association’s (AMIA) Implementation and Optimization Forum to illustrate the power of qualitative methods, and insights that can be developed by using these approaches. We demonstrate how these same techniques can be used for all kinds of non-numeric data, such as clinical narratives, images, even maps. We illustrate coding and analysis for grounded theory, a way of preserving context and flavor of the original textual material while rigorously deriving significant and relevant themes from that data. Participants who bring their laptops will engage in hands-on exercises to learn key concepts of qualitative research and data analysis.

WG08: Drug Terminology Standards: Meaningful Use and Better Knowledge(not eligible for Dental CEs)

T. Adamusiak, Thomson Reuters; K. Fung, National Institutes of Health; J. Kannry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; J. Poikonen, University of Massachusetts Lowell; G. Robinson, First Databank, Inc.; L. Zhou, Harvard Medical School

An overriding goal of Meaningful Use is better health through better health information. There are many differences in the way medication ordering, prescribing, dispensing, and administrating are conceptualized by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, hospital administration, and insurance companies. Even when communication occurs, knowledge is not always shared because sender and receiver attach different meanings to the same message. This tutorial looks at the different stages of drug representation across a typical clinical workflow and in the context of Meaningful Use requirements. We have gathered together an impressive panel of experts in the field of knowledge representation and clinical information systems. We will have 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 improves healthcare delivery. Our expert presenters will review the current state of the art and expected future developments. This topic is significant and timely for several reasons especially as Meaningful Use enters a penalty phase in 2015. This is a joint Working Group Pre-Symposium presented by the Knowledge Representation and Semantics and Clinical Information Systems Working Groups.

WG09: Global Health Informatics Working Group Pre-symposium - Moving from Fragmentation and Duplication to Coordination, Continuity, and SustainabilityJ. Richards, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; O. Velez, H. Cole-Lewis, ICF International/Columbia University; O. Enyia Daniel, University of Illinois-Chicago; P. Mechael, Columbia University/mHealth Alliance

Widespread adoption of technology and increased availability of high-speed networks across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is making it possible to provide health services and collect health data in ways that were not previously conceivable. Whether providing health behavior information to pregnant women in rural Bangladesh via text messages, integrating electronic medical records with community collected data in Kenya, or improving data collection speed and accuracy for ministry of health decision-making in Bolivia, global health informatics (GHI) plays an important role in quality improvement and health systems strengthening in LMICs. However, developing, implementing, and sustaining appropriate informatics solutions for LMICs includes many challenges: siloed funding streams; low standards adoption; lack of capacity to support long-term sustainability; limited resources and weak healthcare systems; and poor infrastructure. This pre-symposium will cover three areas: (1) the current state of GHI; (2) challenges and barriers resulting in fragmentation and duplication of GHI projects; (3) solutions and recommendations for increasing partnership, integration, sustainability, and collaboration. Through a case-study and open discussion participants will collaborate on recommendations for improving coordination, continuity, and sustainability of global health informatics projects.

S01: Interactive Panel - Patient-generated Health Data in Practice: Learning from the Early Experiences of InnovatorsJ. Wald, RTI/Harvard Medical School; S. Rosenbloom, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; S. Woods, Veterans Health Administration; C. Kerrigan, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center; C. Wendling, Geisinger Health System; N. Wagle, Harvard Medical School/Partners HealthCare; J. Mattison, Kaiser Permanente

Patient-generated health data (PGHD) is important for monitoring chronic conditions, treatment adherence, treatment response, symptom severity, satisfaction, and shared decision-making. PGHD arises in a variety of contexts - it may be patient- or caregiver-initiated, passive data from a device, responses to a provider or care team request, or corrections when medical chart information is accessible to the patient. Through these and other uses, PGHD can play a significant role in care quality, patient safety, practice efficiency, and the patient care experience. Innovative organizations are gaining experience in collecting, reviewing, and documenting PGHD. A technical expert panel convened in 2013 on behalf of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT examined key PGHD opportunities and issues, supporting PGHD as a federal Stage 3 meaningful use objective. While information submitted by patients can benefit patient care, shared decision making, quality reporting, comparative effectiveness research, quality improvement efforts, and marketing activities, digital PGHD also elicits clinician concern about liability, information veracity, impacts on provider workflow, mismatched provider-patient expectations, and limited resources for timely analysis of PGHD. This interactive panel brings together leading innovators for a discussion of digital PGHD use in a variety of settings and contexts. Topics will include: good practices in selecting apps and data for gathering and managing PGHD; types and value of PGHD; how PGHD is received, reviewed, and documented; provider and patient intentions in using PGHD; policies supporting the use of PGHD; and practical approaches to making PGHD actionable.

S02: Didactic Panel - Squaring the Circle: Managing Local Healthcare Terminologies in the Age of StandardizationT. Schleyer, D. Vreeman, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University; M. Tuttle, Apelon; J. Cimino, NIH Clinical Center

Healthcare has benefited from the increasing maturity, availability and implementation of standardized vocabularies. However, many healthcare organizations continue to maintain local terminogies. In doing so, healthcare institutions, individually as well as collectively, expend significant resources on local terminology creation, maintenance and mapping to standardized vocabularies. The purpose of this panel is to describe current approaches to managing both standardized and local terminologies, elucidate challenges and opportunities, and discuss future-oriented strategies for making the process more efficient and effective. The Regenstrief Dictionary, Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC), Medical Entities Dictionary (MED) at Columbia University Medical Center and the Research Entities Dictionary (RED) at the NIH will serve as case studies. The panel will discuss how a variety of tools, such as the Distributed Terminology System from Apelon, can support local terminology efforts.

Initially incorporated in 1984, the organization later dissolved its separate corporate status to merge with the American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics (AAMSI) and the Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care (SCAMC) when the American Medical Informatics Association was formed in 1989. The College now exists as an elected body of fellows within AMIA, with its own bylaws and regulations that guide the organization, its activities, and its relationship with the parent organization. Panelists will describe the forces that led to the founding of ACMI and AMIA, what some of the challenges were, and how these were ultimately overcome. The audience will be encouraged to join in the discussion, sharing their insights into the formation of ACMI and AMIA as well as the impact that these organizations have had on the field of biomedical informatics.

LB01: AMIA Task Force on Status and Future Direction of EHRs: Early Findings and Your ThoughtsT. Payne, University of Washington; M. Zaroukian, Sparrow Health System; S. Corley, NextGen; D. McCallie, Cerner Corporation; T. Cullen, Veteran Health Administration

In the last five years, EHR adoption in the United States has risen dramatically, and with it the potential to enhance safety, quality and efficiency of care delivered to Americans. Reaction from clinician users of EHRs has been mixed; the professional and general literature include reports of changed patient-provider interaction, time requirements, and note quality. AMIA and its members have been leaders in the world of EHRs since the beginning. For these reasons, this is an opportune time for AMIA and its members to reflect on current status of EHRs, needed future directions and what AMIA should be doing to shape that future. AMIA’s Board charged the EHR 2020 Task Force to “create recommendations to assure EHRs fit well into evolving workflow of health care delivery, support team-based care, enhance productivity and safety, and are as easy as possible to adopt, and to advise the AMIA Board on how to advance these recommendations.” The EHR-2020 Task Force includes 12 members with diverse backgrounds (see AMIA website for detail) and has met 5 times by phone and in person to begin to craft AMIAs view of the current status of EHRs, vision for the future and recommendations to our Board to make it happen. In this session we’ll present our early findings and recommendations, and most importantly listen to your ideas on how we can achieve the potential for EHRs for which we have worked so hard for over several decades.

SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Public and Global Health Informatics Year in Review B. Dixon, Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing/Regenstrief Institute/Veterans Health Administration; J. Pina, RTI International/Emory University; J. Richards, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; H. Kharrazi, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; A. Turner, University of Washington School of Public Health

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 insights and lessons 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, methods, and lessons will be summarized to bring attendees up-to-date on the use of informatics in low resource settings.

S13: Semi-plenary Session – ACMI at 30 – Evolution of Themes and Topics in Biomedical and Health Informatics B. Humphreys, National Library of Medicine; P. Szolovits, MIT; P. Flatley Brennan, University of Wisconsin-Madison; G. Hripcsak, Columbia University; S. Liaw, The University of New South Wales; L. Ohno-Machado, University of California San Diego; W. Chapman, University of Utah; N. Sarkar, University of Vermont

This panel will provide an overview of the main themes of research and practice in the field of biomedical and health informatics from the decade that saw the founding of ACMI to the present. Panelists will contrast the themes from each period with current themes and challenges in the field so that a picture of the evolution of themes and topics will emerge. The panel will cover: a)1980’s and the founding of ACMI and IMIA (Betsy Humphreys and Peter Szolovits); b) 1990’s and the founding of AMIA (Patricia Brennan and George Hripcsak); c) First decade of the millennium (Siaw-Teng Liaw and Lucila Ohno-Machado); d) The 2010 decade and the future (Wendy Chapman and Neil Sarkar). The audience will be encouraged to join in identifying and commenting on ACMI Fellow contributions and the challenges of research and practice in biomedical and health informatics, trying to distinguish between those that have proven persistent vs. those that have changed radically due to either scientific and technological innovation, organizational, economic, and societal changes in the creation, management and use of biomedical and health information.

LB02: IOM Recommends Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures for Electronic Health Records(not eligible for Dental CEs)

P. Flatley Brennan, University of Wisconsin – Madison; G. Hripcsak, Columbia University; D. Crews, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; other panelists TBA

Stage 3 Meaningful Use requirements call for including in all Electronic Health Records key indicators of the social and behavioral determinants of health. More importantly, attending to the social and behavioral determinants of health may reverse the trend of premature death arising more from these factors than from genetics or health care errors. This late-breaking session will present the just-released report from the The IOM Committee on Recommended Social and Behavioral Domains and Measures for Electronic Health Records. Patti Brennan, RN, PhD and George Hripcsak, MD, MS will be joined by fellow committee members to reveal the specific domains and recommended measures, explain the committee selection and recommendation process, and explore the informatics processes need to demonstrate attestation of this requirement.

S15: Interactive Panel - Innovative Approaches to Medication Reconciliation within the Veterans Health Administration: Designing the Magic PillB. Lesselroth, Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center/Oregon Health Sciences University; K. Adams, Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center; S. Simon, Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System/Harvard Medical School; K. Boockvar, James J Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center/Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; P. Kaboli, Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center/University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine

Medication discrepancies at interfaces-in-care are an important source of preventable iatrogenic injury, causing an estimated 1 million hospitalizations and 7,000 deaths in the US annually at an estimated cost of $500 million annually. While medication reconciliation (MR) has been described as an effective process to surface medication discrepancies and avoid adverse drug events, most institutions have struggled to implement durable MR interventions. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) features a robust electronic health record and manages the entire medication distribution supply chain from provider order entry to home medication delivery. Consequently, VHA is well positioned to develop and study innovative strategies to manage MR. This panel, which includes clinician-informaticians and health services researchers from across the VHA enterprise, will describe an array of quality improvement initiatives designed to address MR throughout the care continuum. Panelists will discuss: 1) multimedia applications intended to improve clinician accuracy, 2) patient portals to improve patient engagement and self-efficacy, 3) the use of regional health-information exchanges to close information gaps, and 4) implementation studies designed to identify best practices. Panelists will also engage the audience in a dialog exploring the emerging data management and sociotechnical challenges that continue to besiege quality improvement initiatives.

S16: Didactic Panel - Informatics without Borders: International Outreach of US-based Training Programs

L. Ohno-Machado, University of California San Diego; W. Hersh, OHSU; C. Gadd, Vanderbilt University; R. Crowley, University of Pittsburgh

Biomedical research and health services research have been increasingly relying on international collaboration. Team science has expanded beyond regional and national collaborations into an ecosystem of collaborators that are united by common goals through an electronic infrastructure for research. It has thus become important that all collaborators have adequate human and material resources to participate in international research networks. We will discuss how some biomedical informatics training programs based in the USA have been partnering with institutions from around the world to build capacity in informatics and have been empowering researchers with infrastructure and tools to participate in globalized biomedical research. We will cover (a) cultural and economic barriers for implementation of certain programs, (b) programs we developed to respond to the short- and medium-term needs of our international collaborators, (c) how we adapted existing research-enabling tools to facilitate research in developed and developing countries, and (d) how we adapted distance-learning and related technologies to facilitate this work. We will also discuss the importance of embedding international students in our training programs in the US, and the advantages that this type of diversity brings in terms of promoting broader cultural understanding that benefits all our faculty, students, and staff.

Patient engagement has been compared to a “blockbuster drug” that has potential to improve the quality and reduce the costs of healthcare. This panel will explore how health information technology—specifically tablet computers—can facilitate patient engagement in the inpatient care setting. The panelists will summarize their individual experiences leading projects at their respective institutions where tablet computers have been employed to deliver tailored information to patients and to enhance patient-provider communication. These projects represent a variety of hardware/software platforms, EHR systems, patient populations, and organizational models. The panelists will discuss the current and future state of inpatient engagement technology, debating topics such as: 1) what information should be shared with patients, and in what form should it be displayed; 2) how to best engage patients’ family members and care partners while protecting patients’ privacy interests, 3) how can technology support patients with low health literacy and health numeracy, and 4) how have institutions’ patient engagement efforts affected frontline physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. Ample time will be provided for audience questions and group discussion.

S26: Didactic Panel - Handling Clinical and Next Generation Sequencing Data: New Strategies in i2b2 and tranSMARTS. Murphy, Partners Healthcare/Massachusetts General Hospital; R. Bellazzi, M. Gabetta, University of Pavia; P. Avillach, Harvard Medical School; L. Phillips, Partners Healthcare

Within the next one to two years, we can expect to have over 100,000 genomes sequenced. Many of these genomes will belong to patients for whom we have extensive medical records. This will present an opportunity to find rapid associations of genotype to phenotype and exercise precision medicine. It is sobering therefore to learn that although we are poised to take advantage of the explosions of genomic data as well as the data from our healthcare enterprise, that there are few approaches to data representation that allow us to query the two types of data in unison. Although genome browsers at UCSC, Ensembl, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), as well as the model organism databases (e.g., Wormbase, Flybase, Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD), and Mouse Genome Database (MGD]), have become essential tools for the analysis of genomic, molecular biology data, the representation of phenotypic data is unable to accommodate the complex representations of human phenotypes as exists in our healthcare system. In the same way, typical representations of healthcare data in both transaction-based electronic medical records (VISTA, OpenEMR), as well as analytic healthcare models (mini-sentinel, virtual data model, and observational medical outcomes partnership) do not accommodate genomic data with any facility. In this panel we will discuss and present three approaches that have been taken within the i2b2 community to approach the implementation of a genomic-phenomic query capability. These three groups agreed to contrast their approaches using a standard dataset to illustrate their specific approaches and tradeoffs.

S33: Systems Demonstrations - “Pop” Health

Session Chair: William Lober

Implementation of a Population Health Record in Montreal, Canada M. Lavigne, L. Dang-Duy, C. Ghassemian, A. Hamel, A. Okhmatovskaia, M. Peyvandy, A. Shaban-Nejad, D. Buckeridge, McGill University

In response to a critical lack of population health information, the Institute of Medicine has called for systems that use a determinants-of-health approach to integrate health and non-health data and provide easy access to health indicators. We have developed and implemented in the Montreal region a Population Health Record (PopHR), which computes indicators relevant to diabetes automatically from health and non-health data, allows access to indicators through free-text queries, and contextualizes indicator values using existing epidemiological knowledge.

Demonstrating a Public Health Terrain Data Visualization System J. Keiper, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University-Perdue University Indiapolis, S. Fang, M. Palakal, Y. Xia, S. Bloomquist, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis; S. Grannis, Regenstrief Institute; W. Li, T. Nguyen, A. Krishnan, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Use cases for public health data visualization systems indicate a need for an interactive system, a wide variety of filters for narrowing scope, and visualizations in both geospatial and logical domains. A public health study not only involves relationships between individuals within a given community, but also considers correlations among attributes of diseases. These correlations are not inherently obvious unless one has prior domain expertise, and exploration of these relationships can be tedious even with complex statistical analysis tools. Ultimately, public health officials seek simplified datasets providing the minimum factors necessary to illustrate a problematic scenario. Through a combination of specific health data sources and innovative text and data analyses, we created a visualization engine allowing public health officials to quickly define, assess, and address potential epidemics. Our innovations include unique text and data mining techniques for discovering relationships spanning multiple domains, and innovative interactive visualizations providing comprehensive knowledge transfer to the user.

Doxy.me- A simple, Free, and Secure Telemedicine Solution for Health Care and Research Participation B. Welch, Medical University of South Carolina

To address the need for a free and easy-to-use telemedicine solution needed for a clinical research trial, informaticists at the University of Utah developed Doxy.me, a simple and free Web-based video communication solution. Doxy.me is simple; downloads or plugins are not required and patients do not register or login. Several useful features are available to support clinical workflows such as a virtual waiting room, patient check-in and queue, and meeting controls. Furthermore, interest among clinical researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina has also led to the development of virtual eConsent capabilities to support research study participation using the Doxy.me platform. This system demonstration will: (1) demonstrate the capabilities and features of Doxy.me that are available to clinicians, researchers, and patients; (2) describe how the application complies with relevant security and privacy laws; (3) learn how clinicians can use Doxy.me to provide Web-based telemedicine for patients; and (4) understand how clinical researchers can use Doxy.me for virtual eConsent. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants should understand the capabilities and benefits of using Doxy.me for telemedicine and research. Doxy.me is freely available to all clinicians and researchers to use for telemedicine at no cost.

LB03: The Healthcare Services Platform Consortium – An Opportunity to Foster Truly Interoperable Health Care Applications


R. Greenes, Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic; J.M. Overhage, Siemens Health Services; J. Nebeker, US Veteran’s Health Administration; O. Diaz, Harris Corporation Healthcare Solutions; S. Huff, Intermountain Healthcare

After more than a year of planning, the Health Services Platform Consortium (HSPC) has been incorporated as a non-profit entity consisting of providers and vendors that are dedicated to fostering the development and use of interoperable applications in health care. The Consortium’s goal is to respond to needs of health care organizations in the era of health care transformation that are not met by existing systems, and to facilitate development and evolution of products and services for these needs. The primary strategy is to establish a middle tier of standards-based services for data access, privacy and role-based authentication of users along with other capabilities to support business process management and decision support. The HSPC has adopted the HL7 FHIR model for data access. It enables the EHR integration of SMART apps and also applications with additional functionality enabled by the expanded range of middle-tier services to be available. FHIR profiles are based on standardized detailed clinical models that are tightly bound to LOINC®, SNOMED CT®, and RxNORM, The success of the venture will depend on persuading commercial EHR vendors to support the standards-based services as part of their infrastructure. This session will discuss founding principles and status of the organization, the potential marketplace, the technical approach, applicability to VA and other use cases, the role of sandboxes to support development, and a perspective from an EHR vendor.

Melton, University of Minnesota; Y. Huang, Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect Southern California; L. Wiley, Vanderbilt University; J. Doberne, Oregon Health & Science University; N. Theera-Ampornpunt, Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital/Mahidol University

The career landscape for biomedical and health informatics students continues to expand. With the recent successful administration of the first Clinical Informatics Subspecialty Board Exam and trends in the fields such as healthcare data analytics, the informatics workforce must be well-prepared for diverse career opportunities and a changing healthcare landscape. Following tradition, the AMIA Student Working Group proposes a “career panel” to offer perspectives and advice for students on the success of their career opportunities and professional development. This year, panelists include an academic program director, hospital chief medical informatics officer (CMIO), and industry Research and Development (R&D) director, each with different training backgrounds (e.g., MD, PhD, MA). They will share their experiences and discuss upcoming trends in informatics careers with students. This panel will help current informatics students and early-career professionals to better prepare for and develop their careers.

S36: Interactive Panel - How Safe are Users of Consumer Health Informatics?T. Wetter, Heidelberg University/University of Washington; M. Czerwinski, Microsoft Research; G. Demiris, University of Washington; R. Hsiung, Dr. Bob LLC; H. Jimison, Northeastern University

Consumer Health Informatics (ConsHI) has proven beneficial for many medical and mental conditions. Since it assigns the patient an active role reliable patient contributions are a necessary condition for safe operation, but cannot be taken for granted when patient physical, mental or emotional states deteriorate. The panel presents different approaches from within and outside ConsHI (Home monitoring of cognitive and physical functions, emotion tracking, behavior in online communities), that allow early detection and curbing of the risks. Routine application of such safeguards creates large amounts of data that must be protected against privacy breaches and that must be made sense of, and it causes additional cost. Patients and policy makers therefore face choices whether to mandate such additional safety when ConsHI service go routine.

SMART on FHIR D. McCallie, Cerner; J. Mandel, Boston Children’s Hospital; S. Huff, Intermountain Healthcare; K. Mandl, Boston Children’s Hospital; I. Kohane, Harvard Medical School

SMART on FHIR represents a vendor-neutral, standards-based, real-world implementation of that vision in support of an “app store” for healthcare. SMART on FHIR implements an open architecture to support interchangeable Web applications that can be “plugged in” to any compliant EHR or health data container. Clinical data are exposed using an Application Programming Interface (API) defined by Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), an emerging HL7 standard. Semantic data interoperability is achieved using a set of FHIR Profiles that constrain a set of core Resource definitions using a comprehensive open-source library of Clinical Element Models, developed at Intermountain Healthcare. We will demonstrate multiple independently-authored applications running against commercial EHRs as well as other health information technology systems. We will show applications that visualize clinical data, provide decision support, and integrate clinical data with external sources including population health and HIE data.

An Electronic Health Record for Google Glass: A System Demonstration K. Singh, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School

Though Google Glass (also known as “Glass”) has been used to record and live stream surgical procedures, its use as an EHR platform has been largely overlooked. This system demonstration will review the basic principles of Google Glass development, demonstrate a novel functioning electronic health record (EHR) for Glass, and discuss potential use cases. The first part of the presentation will cover the strengths and limitations of Glass as a platform for development and clinical use. The second part will walk through the process of developing a simple Google Glass application using web technologies such as HTML5, jQuery, and the Adobe Phonegap framework. The third part will focus on demonstrating a functioning EHR application that interfaces with the Longitudinal Medical Record EHR at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Several input methods including voice commands, accelerometer-based scrolling, QR code recognition, and touch-based gestures will be used to access the EHR through Glass.

Pajekto3DStereo: Enabling Generation and Interaction with 3D Stereo Networks B. Dang, S. Bhavnani, UTMB

Although 2D networks have been useful in revealing complex associations in a wide range of biomedical applications, they are often too dense to comprehend. In such situations, a 3D layout of the same network provides an extra degree of freedom in the z-plane, often resulting in a more accurate representation of the associations in the data. However, 3D layouts displayed in 2D occlude nodes that are further away in the z-plane, and therefore require the network to be rotated in order to view the nodes and comprehend their relationships in 3D space. Unfortunately, this rotation leads to disorientation and therefore requires a stereo version of the 3D layout to enable rapid comprehension. Because tools to develop such 3D stereo layouts are either proprietary or expensive, we developed Pajekto3DStereo, a simple interface in R that enables researchers to convert a 3D network layout into a format that can be used by a freely available stereo-visualizing tool called VMD. Pajekto3DStereo has enabled the discovery of a complex pattern related to two intersecting biological pathways that was missed using a 2D network layout.

S45: Interactive Panel - Predictive Analytics in Healthcare (HPA): Considerations and ChallengesS. Saria, Johns Hopkins University; P. Tang, Palo Alto Medical Foundation; A. Dummett, Kaiser Permanente; L. Ohno-Machado, University of California San Diego

The US healthcare system struggles with high cost, poor quality and uneven performance. Electronic predictive algorithms are becoming widely recognized by caregivers, policy makers and practitioners as a means for achieving the Triple Aims. Such algorithms have shown tremendous promise in other industries, and have fueled the recent “big data” revolution. Successful adoption in healthcare, however, will require careful consideration of issues surrounding HPA. In September 2013, the Moore foundation in collaboration with other industry stakeholders and Health Affairs assembled experts from informatics, health services, computer science, bioethics, and law to identify key challenges for HPA, and plan a roadmap for progress. The panelists will begin by presenting takeaways on four key questions regarding HPA: What have we learnt from past deployments? What are the current barriers for adoption? Should HPA be regulated? How should informatics education adapt to improve HPA adoption? An open discussion will follow with the goal of identifying opportunities and priorities for HPA. Since clinical decision support, population health, and risk stratification are important applications of HPA, and of critical interest to the AMIA community, we hope this panel will generate insightful and productive discussions.

LB04: HIT Standards: A year of change, innovation and challenges(not eligible for Dental CEs)

W. Hammond, Duke University School of Medicine; S. Huff, University of Utah School of Medicine/Intermountain Healthcare; D. Fridsma, AMIA; C. Chute, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine; S. Posnack, ONC; C. Jaffe, Health Level 7

Interoperability is hard. Data breaches, failed deadlines for Meaningful Use and ICD-10, and the demise of the joint VA-Military Medicine EHR have been but a few of the challenges for healthcare IT. Some of the needs of patients, providers, and payers went unmet. For many, the dramatic evolution of HIT standards remains a bright light. From CIMI to FHIR, from ICD-11 to SNOMED, and from the ONC Interoperability Roadmap to the report of the JASON Task Force, there is growing optimism about the future of health IT interoperability. 2015 may yet be the breakthrough year.

SEMI-PLENARY SESSIONS8:30 AM - 10:00 AM



S46: Year in Review 2(not eligible for Dental CEs)W. Hersh, J. Ash, Oregon Health & Science University

This annual session will cover the Year in Review for Biomedical and Health Informatics. This year’s session is being reconfigured to reflect areas of the field now covered in other Year in Review sessions, such as clinical research informatics, translational bioinformatics, and public health informatics. As in the past, this session will review a sample of notable publications and events that have occurred in the past twelve months. This includes new findings from the published literature, achievements in operational applications of informatics, changes in public policy and government, and emerging new technologies. This presentation will have two presenters who will review advances in two broad areas, foundational informatics and clinical informatics, and cover both quantitative and qualitative methods.

S49: Interactive Panel - Nursing Data to Support the C-CDA, eMeasures, and Big Data Science - Ready or Not?(not eligible for Dental CEs)

C. Delaney, University of Minnesota; G. Dolin, Intelligent Medical Ojects; S. Matney, 3M Healthcare; J. Warren, Warren Associates LLC; B. Westra, University of Minnesota

Standardization of data and data structures are essential for sharable and comparable data to support the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA), development of eMeasures (quality measure from electronic health records (EHRs)) for meaningful use of EHRs, and reuse of the data for big data science. Data standards and eMeasures are prescribed by the Federal government - LOINC for Assessments, and SNOMED-CT for nursing problems and interventions. Nursing has a long history of terminology development and mapping of nursing terminologies. This panel addresses the urgency of assuring that nursing data is ready to support these efforts and to learn strategies form the audience to rapidly propel standardization of data and data structures to support national efforts.

S50: Didactic Panel - Genomic Dark Matter, Druggability and Misunderstood Targets(not eligible for Dental CEs)

S. Mani, University of New Mexico; J. Swamidass, Washington University in St. Louis; N. Southall, NIH; T. Oprea, University of New Mexico

Researchers and pharmaceutical companies have typically focused on a small part of the genome-encoded proteome for drug targeting thus shedding light on these regions from a druggability perspective while leaving large tracts of the genome-encoded proteome or exome dark. This panel will introduce the concepts of genomic dark matter, druggability of genes/proteins and misunderstood targets. We will also introduce an in-silico framework for illuminating the druggable genome by discussing the approaches taken for the creation of the Illuminating the Druggable Genome Knowledge Management Center (IDG KMC) and the Target Central Resource Database (TCRD). TCRD will serve as a go to resource for developing a mechanistic understanding of a newly discovered set of biomarkers for a clinical condition from a druggability perspective and this will be illustrated in the panel presentation using the set of ranked biomarkers identified for early detection of neonatal sepsis. In short the proposed panel will discuss effective strategies for shedding light on the dark matter of the druggable genome to identify useful and effective drug targets.

S51: Interactive Panel - The Clinical Quality Framework Initiative: Harmonizing Clinical Decision Support and Clinical Quality Measurement Standards to Enable Interoperable Quality ImprovementK. Kawamoto, University of Utah; M. Hadley, The MITRE Corporation; K. Goodrich, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); J. Reider, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

Clinical decision support (CDS) and electronic clinical quality measurement (eCQM) are closely related and share many common requirements. However, CDS and eCQM standards were developed in parallel and utilize different approaches for representing patient information and computable expression logic. This divergence imposes additional burdens on users of the standards and limits the ability to cross-leverage eCQM resources for CDS, and vice versa. To address this important problem, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are sponsoring an open, public-private collaborative effort to establish a single, harmonized set of standards for CDS and eCQM. This effort, known as the Clinical Quality Framework (CQF) initiative, is developing and validating common standards for representing patient data, expression logic, and metadata for the purposes of quality improvement. Moreover, CQF is re-factoring existing CDS and eCQM standards to utilize these common components. In this panel, CQF leaders - including the Deputy National Coordinator of ONC and the Director of Quality Measurement at CMS - will provide an overview of CQF, its methodology, and its deliverables. Standards developed and validated through CQF will be available to policy makers for potential inclusion in future EHR certification requirements.

S60: Interactive Panel - HIE Enablers: A Crucial Need for Care Coordination Communication among Long-term and Post-acute Care Front Line Nursing and Other StaffJ. Harvell, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; G. Alexander, University of Missouri; C. Byrne, Westat; M. Dougherty, AHIMA Foundation

Our four expert panelists will provide position statements, based on their experience in current research and initiatives, about the state of HIT adoption and use of Health information exchange (HIE) to support LTPAC coordination. We will discuss policy levers that enable HIE, as well as barriers, such as the lagging HIT adoption by LTPAC providers and the status of HIE interoperability standards to support LTPAC. Our positions are grounded in important themes of Technology, Adoption, Communication, and Workflow, specific to LTPAC settings. A learning objective for persons participating in this panel discussion is to present a real-world view of LTPAC HIT and HIE adoption, and interactively explore opportunities to advance HIE with LTPAC providers, as senders and receivers of key patient information.

S61: Interactive Panel - Imaginary and Real Costs of Implementing HITJ. Aarts, Erasmus University Rotterdam; M. Dente, University of Utah; A. Gelzer, AmeriHealth Caritas; R. Koppel, University of Pennsylvania; C. Craven, University of Missouri

The costs of implementing HIT have always been shrouded in clouds. Cost estimates were always a kind of a back of the envelope calculations, with apparent clear figures for contracting such as license and consulting fees and hardware purchase and very unclear figures for the costs of involving the organization, such as releasing health care professionals from their day-to-day duties, production loss, etc. This panel aims to discern myth and reality, to summarize what little is known, to present hands-on experience to deal with costs and propose a multidisciplinary research agenda, involving health informaticists, health care professionals, social scientists and economists.

S62: Didactic Panel - Safety-enhanced Design as a Meaningful Use Objective: Evaluating and Advancing the Usability of Electronic Health RecordsJ. Horsky, Brigham & Women’s Hospital/Harvard University; B. Takesue, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University School of Medicine; R. Farr, Intermountain Healthcare; J. Campbell, Epic Systems; V. Patel, The New York Academy of Medicine

Effective, safe and routine use of HIT by clinicians is predicated on the availability of well-designed systems that have excellent usability characteristics and can be integrated into common clinical workflows. The ONC has required, for the first time, that institutions and vendors developing EHRs submit results of summative usability evaluations as part of their application for Meaningful Use Stage 2 certification. The intent was to let developers show evidence of usability of their product so consumers could make informed purchase decisions. The expected content of each usability report was specified by the NIST in the Common Industry Format Template. However, the methods and extent of each evaluation study likely varied at each institution certifying their product. Panelists will discuss test studies, results and lessons learned for three home-grown EHRs - The Medical Gopher, HELP, and the Longitudinal Medical Records systems, and present a vendor perspective from Epic Systems.

The HealthITxChange: A Community Infrastructure for Clinicians, Educators, Researchers, and Health IT Professionals Focused on Ambulatory EHR Implementation and Use H. Rippen, Westat/Rockville Institute; C. Lehmann, Vanderbilt University; E. Mark, Westat/Rockville Institute

The HealthITxChange (www.HealthITxChange.org) is a collaborative effort between Rockville Institute, AMIA, ANA, AHIMA Foundation, and HL7 to provide a free, online community for educators, researchers, clinicians, and other health IT professionals to share their knowledge, lessons learned, and resources with a focus on ambulatory EHR implementation and use. Individuals responsible for implementing EHR systems often reach out to listservs, follow blogs, search the web, and go to conference sessions promising actionable information and lessons learned in order to find solutions to barriers they are facing or to increase their likelihood of success. Often, information in these sources is limited in scope and/or perspective, difficult to access and potentially biased. In an attempt to address these challenges an infrastructure to support an online community sharing timely, “unbiased” lessons learned on EHR implementation was created. The HealthITxChange also leverages “web harvesting” techniques to provide links to other websites, e.g., PubMed, CMS)] and discussion threads. Finally, to reduce bias and to set clear community expectations around behavior, members agree to abide by a Code of Conduct and the peer review process. This Collaboration is governed by the Executive Committee made up by representatives from Rockville Institute, AMIA, ANA, AHIMA Foundation, and HL7.




THEME: PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATICS AND BIOSURVEILLANCE





Using Electronic Medical Record Time and Quality Metrics to Identify Provider-specific Training Opportunities A. Goel, Advocate Health Care; B. Dean, H. Hays, Cerner

Time in the electronic medical record (EMR) provides a single dimension into inpatient provider behavior with the EMR. Coupling EMR time metrics with other metrics (e.g., number of patients seen, percent of orders canceled, document quality) could help a clinical informatics department better identify opportunities to either adjust training opportunities or prioritize enhancements to help improve end-user EMR efficiency for large groups of users.

An EMR Designed for Teaching and Educational Research Based on Regenstrief Institute’s Gopher System B. Takesue, J. Finnell, J. Duke, Regenstrief Institute/Indiana University School of Medicine/Eskenazi Health

Recognizing a significant gap between what students are taught in medical school and what physicians need to know in the modern practice of medicine, many experts have called for medical schools to improve student skills in areas including multidisciplinary teamwork, data analytics and electronic medical records. To help align medical education with a skillset future physicians will require, the Regenstrief Institute recently developed a standalone version of its Gopher computerized physician order entry system designed expressly for use in teaching environments. The system, known as tEMR, combines a rich patient database with the Gopher’s clinical decision support architecture to deliver lessons and assess learners’ interaction with the system.

S70: Featured Presentation – Using Art and Film to Understand HIT Handoffs and Clinician-developed Interfaces


R. Koppel, University of Pennsylvania; J. Patrick, University of Sydney

Transfers of patient care from one clinician or service to another are well-known patient safety dangers. Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) as an intervening and powerful force in handoffs has received comparatively little attention. The role of HIT in concert with paper documentation has received even less attention. Artwork and film provide visually compelling and colorful ways of identifying patterns and also sources of error and miscommunication. In this session Ross Koppel will use paintings and sculpture to illustrate the role of HIT in handoffs. Jon Patrick will show a short video about an HIT system that allows users to construct their own HIT interfaces. Both will explore ways of improving our thinking about how HIT is used, how it interacts with workflow, and how we can improve HIT’s responsiveness to clinician needs and patient safety.


S71: Didactic Panel - There is Nothing as Practical as a Good Theory: Building the PCORNet Clinical Data Research NetworkC. Borromeo, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; B. Dzomba, Penn State Hershey College of Medicine; M. Weiner, Temple University School of Medicine; H. Lehmann, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

The goal of the Patient-centered Outcomes Research Institute’s (PCORI) National Patient-Centered Clinical Data Research Network (CDRN) Program is to improve the nation’s capacity to conduct comparative effectiveness research efficiently, by creating a large, highly representative electronic data infrastructure for conducting clinical outcomes research. The creation of a sustainable network requires investment in information technology, adherence to data standards, development of sensible regulatory processes, and alignment with the clinical operations of the participating health systems. This Panel represents the members of the PaTH CDRN. Each member will describe their institution’s baseline readiness and their development since the award. We will also describe key issues and insights we’ve experienced in creating our CDRN including choosing and using common data models, practical issues in applying data standards, and implementing inter-institutional query tools like i2b2, and addressing the regulatory and research informatics issues inherent to a multi-institutional research network


THEME: POLICY AND ETHICAL ISSUES






S72: Interactive Panel - Patient Health Records (PHRs), Patient Access to their Records/Medical Information: Issues and ChallengesC. Craven, University of Missouri; J. Kannry, Mount Sinai Health System; J. Ancker, Weill Cornell Medical College; P. DeMuro, Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt/OHSU; C. Petersen, Mayo Clinic

Panelists will discuss how access to medical records might be improved and whether patient health records (PHRs) and electronic delivery is the best or only (de facto) option for empowered patient engagement in their own care (e.g. How far down the PHR push are we? What about socioeconomic disparities that pose barriers to computer access; varying patient literacy/numeracy; patient preferences re level of engagement and electronic format?) Areas explored will include what do and don’t patients want, need, what concerns them, and the question of how do we know? (e.g. Will electronic forms of patient engagement improve outcomes, or might they perpetuate or exacerbate health disparities?) Clinician concerns regarding PHRs and patient access to their medical information also will be addressed (e.g. Ethical, legal, impact +/- on patient-clinician relationship, workflow issues, clinical team communication, etc.) Institutional, regulatory, and legal concerns/issues will be discussed (e.g. Operational, required resources, technology options, HIPAA, Meaningful Use, what information can, should or must be kept out of medical records)? Questions to be probed include how the comprehensibility and actionability of medical data can be improved, as well as what are key areas related to PHRs and access that need to be evaluated, and what evaluation methods will be needed to assess the effects of patient access to medical records and portals? Five members from the Society for Participatory Medicine will participate as audience members in the extended discussion portion of this interactive panel to provide their expertise, experiences, and points of view as highly experienced engaged-patients/caregivers.

S73: Interactive Panel - Towards Developing an Undergraduate Interprofessional Biomedical Informatics CourseS. Khairat, University of Minnesota; M. Adams, Duke University; G. Doyle, British Columbia Institute of Technology; E. Ayres, National Institutes of Health; T. Kelley, Nexus Consulting

Biomedical Informatics training has expanded to include almost all clinical specialties. Whether it is a Masters, PhD, or even the new Sub-Specialty in Clinical Informatics, graduate students and/or returning professionals have various informatics training options. However, Informatics education at the undergraduate level is not as well established. Despite initiatives such as TIGER and the Health Information Technology Scholars Program there is still a need to provide interprofessional education. As Informatics continues to grow and healthcare becomes more complex and data driven, there is a growing need to introduce fundamental concepts to undergraduate students to enhance their knowledge base and stimulate interest in the career of biomedical informatics. This panel will explore the needs and challenges to build an undergraduate course that includes core competencies for various clinical specialties including medicine, nursing, and allied professions such as nutrition. The proposed course will serve as a foundation for health professionals, which is different from the advanced ONC funded Health IT Workforce Curriculum Components. Panelists specifically aim to further understand the expectations of the AMIA community with regards to developing an interprofessional informatics course. This course will be designed to accommodate undergraduate students. This effort intends to provide fundamental knowledge of Biomedical Informatics to pre-med, allied health, and IT undergraduate students. The aim is to present students with a general overview of the role of Informatics in clinical, research, and operation practices and hence, facilitate determining future career directions.

Haselkorn, VA Puget Sound Health Care System; W. Nichol, Veterans Health Adminstration; M. Oberle, M. Haselkorn, University of Washington; L. McCarthy, VA Puget Sound Health Care System

Seventy-five percent of U.S. health care dollars are spent on chronic illness and the cost is growing with population aging. MS is an example of chronic illness where case managers play an important role coordinating and monitoring complex treatment plans that unfold over months for outpatients. The number and duration of orders, combined with the complexity of conditions, require a wide variety of information to manage cases and coordinate care. Using information from a wide variety of resources can impose burdensome clerical tasks to access it, integrate it manually, then keep the ad-hoc collection current, on top of doing patient care. Without an information system that is well-designed specifically for case management these overhead tasks can be daunting, disrupt timely coordination, and risk needless errors. The specific purpose of P-CMS is to provide a single tool that integrates needed information in a highly usable, effective user interface to improve awareness of the progress of patients’ orders and conditions, while eliminating the wasted overhead of clerical information tasks.









Narrative Event and Temporal Relation Visualization Tool S. Finan, Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School; P. de Groen, Mayo Clinic; G. Savova, Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School

Extensive critical patient information typically is in an unstructured, free text format - the clinical narrative - that can only be accessed by reading the full text. However, the amount of information within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of a single patient is expanding beyond the ability of someone to read within a typical appointment slot. New Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods allow automated extraction of medical events and temporal relations among those events from clinical narratives. In order to display the clinically relevant events from a complete life span of a patient, we created a novel visualization tool that allows scrolling and zooming in time while maintaining an overview of the entire timeline within a single frame. We selected four key features of a typical clinical encounter as the main content of a medical timeline: (1) signs and symptoms; (2) tests and procedures; (3) diseases and disorders; and (4) medications. Within these four features, more detailed subset timelines are allowed. We will demonstrate our prototype graphical user interface and discuss some of the challenges unique to the visualization of unstructured clinical narratives as well as our solutions.

Big Data for Critical Care with Cloud-based In-memory Database M. Feng, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; M. Feng, Institute for Infocomm Research; M. Ghassemi, T. Brennan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; J. Ellenberger, I. Hussain, SAP Research; R. Mark, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

MIMIC is an open-access database, which holds clinical data from over 60,000 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stays, with over 7,000 records matched with time-series physiological data. MIMIC is a valuable Big Data research resource, which is over 4TB in size and currently has over 1,000 users around the globe. Analyzing a large database like MIMIC is, however, computationally expensive due to its high dimensionality and vast volume. We have been exploring the in-memory database as a solution. In collaboration with SAP, our industrial partner, we will showcase how Big Data analytics can be effectively conducted with HANA, a Cloud based in-memory database system from SAP. Different from traditional databases, HANA is capable of storing the whole database in the main memory for fast and dynamic querying. We will have a live demonstration to showcase the advantage of HANA over traditional databases in terms of query speeds. We will also showcase how data extraction and statistical analysis of Big Data like MIMIC can be conveniently accomplished as one integrated process with HANA, which fully integrates SQL with R, the statistical analytic language.

D. Ahern, Brigham & Women’s Hospital; E. Hekler, Arizona State University; E. Beckjord, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute; B. Hesse, National Cancer Institute

AMIA is the leading national organization that supports advancing the science and practice of informatics. The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) is the leading national organization concerned with the development and integration of behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical science knowledge and techniques relevant to the understanding of health and illness, and the application of this knowledge and these techniques to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Within SBM, the Technology Special Interest Group (formerly named Behavioral Informatics) is focused on the intersection of informatics, technology, and the application of evidence-based approaches drawing from behavioral theories and models. Recently, the governing Board of SBM approved the creation of the Digital Health Council to elevate the importance of behavioral informatics in advancing the mission and goals of SBM. In turn, there are an increasing number of members of SBM who are also members of AMIA and who already recognize the synergy in the activities between the two organizations. The time is right to stimulate more collaboration between the membership of AMIA and SBM. This panel will include presentations that illustrate the type and nature of work undertaken by interdisciplinary teams of biomedical informaticians, behavioral scientists, computer scientists, and engineers that span AMIA and SBM domains of interest to address current and future challenges in the field of informatics. Panel members will invite the audience to discuss practical ways to foster greater collaboration between the two organizations.

S81: Didactic Panel - Clinical Natural Language Processing in Languages other than EnglishA. Neveol, CNRS; H. Dalianis, Stokholm University; G. Savova, Harvard Medical School/Children’s Hospital; P. Zweigenbaum, CNRS

Natural Language Processing (NLP) of clinical free-text has received a lot of attention from the scientific community. Clinical documents are routinely created across health care providing institutions and are generally written in the official language(s) of the country these institutions are located in. As a result, free-text clinical information is written in a large variety of languages. While most of the efforts for clinical NLP have focused on English, there is a strong need to extend this work to other languages, for instance in order to gain medical information about patient cohorts in geographical areas where English is not an official language. Furthermore, adapting current NLP methods developed for English to other languages may provide useful insight on the generalizability of algorithms and lead to increased robustness. This panel aims to provide an overview of clinical NLP for languages other than English, as for example French, Swedish and Japanese and discuss future methodological advances of clinical NLP in a context that encompasses English as well as other languages.

S82: Didactic Panel - Allergies and Intolerances - Standards for InteroperabilityE. Ayres, NIH Clinical Center; R. Leftwich, Tennessee Office of eHealth; L. Nelson, Lantana Consulting Group

The management and exchange of drug, food and environmental allergies and intolerances is essential for patient safety. Over the past several years, the international standards community has developed new models for the documentation and interoperability of allergies and intolerances. This panel will address new HL7 standards for adverse reactions, allergies and intolerances including V3 clinical models, FHIR resources and Consolidated CDA templates. Case studies will provide attendees with examples of how to represent key allergy and intolerance concepts including undifferentiated adverse reactions, reaction severity and condition criticality. The use of these concepts for quality measure reporting will also be discussed.

S91: Didactic Panel - Data Governance Dilemmas for Research and Clinical CareB. Kaplan, Yale University; P. DeMuro, Oregon Health & Sciences University; F. Pasquale, University of Maryland; J. Talmon, Maastricht University; P. Winkelstein, University at Buffalo

Legal and ethical considerations distinguish patient care and research. Data collection, protection, privacy, and permissions are governed differently for routine care and research data. Yet, neither patients nor clinicians can so easily separate the two; the distinction is not as clear-cut as it appears. Today’s clinical data becomes tomorrow’s research data. New technologies, medical advances, and the move toward learning health care systems further blur the distinction. Panelists will discuss and debate how the clinical/research distinction holds up in practice, and whether it should (or can be) refined or eliminated. They address dilemmas that informaticians, patients, clinicians, and policy makers face because of the distinction between research and clinical care as it plays out in electronic record keeping, data quality, data storage, data sharing, data linking, and secondary use. The panel considers such timely and controversial issues as: Exactly which aspects of care, and the documentation of that care, are research, and which are clinical, when many may be both? Should consent procedures differ according to whether treatment is considered research? Should patient care be contingent on permission to use care data for research? Are quality assurance, biobanks, or learning systems data clinical data or research data? When is a record review quality improvement and when is it research? What are the benefits and costs of maintaining the status quo and of proposals for change? How do different approaches compare internationally? Panelists and audience will exchange ideas about how they might like to see regulations evolve.

S92: Didactic Panel - The PHR Ignite Project: Advancing Consumer-mediated ExchangeS. Rizk, RTI International; D. Rajeev, HealthInsight; S. Cunningham, RTI International; C. Coy, ONC; A. Seib, NATE

The growth of electronic health information technology provides new opportunities to actively engage patients in their healthcare. Over the last few years, applications such as personal health records (PHRs) have been widely recognized as instruments to promote patient-centered care and influence patient engagement. Despite advances in health information technology, studies have found that PHRs are not widely adopted across the United States of America. Under funding from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), RTI International convened partners to support the PHR Ignite project which aimed to study the use of PHRs and their potential to support consumer-mediated exchange. The objectives were to: (a) understand attitudes of consumers towards PHRs, (b) identify features and functionalities of PHRs that may influence adoption among consumers, (c) understand the barriers that discourage the use of PHRs, and (d) explore the use of PHRs to demonstrate the bi-directional exchange between patients and healthcare providers. This panel will present findings and lessons learned during this project and discuss opportunities to improve patient engagement and consumer-mediated exchange.

S93: Didactic Panel – What’s in a Name: Precision Medicine and a New Nosology(not eligible for Dental CEs)

M. Tuttle, Apelon; S. Nelson; Y. Lussier, University of Arizona; A. Johnson, MD Anderson Cancer Center

In 2012 the National Research Council published a white paper on the need for a new taxonomy of disease, noting the failure of our current disease names to address the needs of precision medicine, based on a deeper understanding of nosology and the requirements of personalized medicine. The panel will discuss the implications of this call in several ways. Dr. Lussier will discuss promising translational bioinformatics innovations in precision therapeutics. Dr. Bernstam will discuss the importance of finding actionable abnormalities in the genome of the tumors she treats with precision. Dr. Nelson will discuss how this new knowledge can be incorporated into the Bloisian model of disease descriptions as well as how the “classical” patient findings can be used to further develop these descriptions. Mr. Tuttle will discuss the growing experience with supervised and unsupervised machine learning as a tool of discovery, and the application of this paradigm to nosology.
