Physicians in the 21st century will increasingly interact in diverse ways with information systems, requiring competence in many aspects of [[clinical informatics]]. In recent years, many medical school curricula have added content in [[information]] retrieval (search) and basic use of the [[electronic health record]]. However, this omits the growing number of other ways that physicians are interacting with information that includes activities such as [[Clinical decision support system|clinical decision support]], quality measurement and improvement, personal health records, telemedicine, and personalized medicine. We describe a process whereby six faculty members representing different perspectives came together to define competencies in clinical informatics for a curriculum transformation process occurring at Oregon Health & Science University. From the broad competencies, we also developed specific learning objectives and milestones, an implementation schedule, and mapping to general competency domains. We present our work to encourage debate and refinement as well as facilitate evaluation in this area.

"Making big data useful for health care: A summary of the inaugural MIT Critical Data Conference"

With growing concerns that big data will only augment the problem of unreliable research, the Laboratory of Computational Physiology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology organized the Critical Data Conference in January 2014. Thought leaders from academia, government, and industry across disciplines — including clinical medicine, computer science, public health, informatics, biomedical research, health technology, statistics, and epidemiology — gathered and discussed the pitfalls and challenges of big data in health care. The key message from the conference is that the value of large amounts of data hinges on the ability of researchers to share data, methodologies, and findings in an open setting. If empirical value is to be from the analysis of retrospective data, groups must continuously work together on similar problems to create more effective peer review. This will lead to improvement in methodology and quality, with each iteration of analysis resulting in more reliability. (Full article...)
