Clinical Informatics

Developing novel information technology, computer science and knowledge management methodologies for disease prevention, treatment, more efficient and safer patient care delivery, and knowledge access. It requires close collaboration among clinicians, biomedical and computational scientists, knowledge management professionals, educators and healthcare consumers. This research group collaborates with Mayo Clinic (Scottsdale, AZ), Barrow Neurology Institute (Phoenix, AZ), and University of Arizona Medical School (Phoenix, AZ). Current research projects include Rapid database prototyping and development for clinical/research data analysis (T Adam), Evaluation of the association of obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic syndrome (T Adam), HL7 standards-based data modeling (S Partovi), Patient-Driven Disease Registries (Community Self-Reporting) (S Partovi), Medical Multimedia Archiving and Specialty Specific Research Data Models (S Partovi).
