Biomedical Informatics Program (BIP)
The Biomedical Informatics Program (BIP) focuses on linkages and integration of translational (GA Tech, CLS initiative, Emerson Center, Bimcore) and clinical/health systems (existing and new electronic records systems, including patient data repositories and Clinical Data Warehouses at ACTSI partnering institutions). The BIP works with the Information Technology Offices of Emory, MSM, GA Tech, CHOA, VA, and Kaiser-GA to build the technology infrastructure to securely connect the Clinical Interaction Network sites across the ACTSI. The long-term goal is to link electronic health record data throughout the ACTSI.
These linked data will serve as a valuable source of clinical data for advancing clinical/translational research. Linkage of the interdisciplinary Bioinformatics and Biostatistics programs at GA Tech, the Emory Biostatistics Department at the Rollins School of Public Health, and the Emory Center for Computational and Life Sciences is an important goal. This includes the outstanding bioinformatics training program at GA Tech, including a PhD program, and strong bioinformatics methodology researchers. The ACTSI facilitates the education of students and researchers from all partnering ACTSI institutions in biomedical informatics.
