Overview

2011 AMIA Summit on Clinical Research Informatics

In recent years, there has been substantial growth of the field of CRI, fueled by the rapid pace of advancements in the broader clinical and translational science community and the resultant need to more efficiently and effectively conduct clinical research and translate research findings into practice. The need for effective clinical research informatics infrastructure, tools, and best practices has led to the emergence of CRI as a distinct field of informatics study and practice—one critical to the goal of advancing biomedical science and improving the quality of health care delivery. As members of the everexpanding community of scientists, professionals, and innovators working to accelerate work in CRI, we are pleased to invite your organization to join us in San Francisco as a sponsor for this ground breaking and unique meeting.

The CRI Summit provides an unparalleled venue for CRI scientists and professionals to share their work, develop new collaborations, and identify potential avenues of research and development that will ultimately advance clinical and translational research and personalized healthcare.Given the complementary nature of CRI and Translational Bioinformatics (TBI), we are pleased to have co-located and scheduled the CRI Summit to overlap and immediately follow the TBI Summit. By adjoining these Summits, we hope to accelerate work at their intersecting areas of focus, thereby bringing added value to both the CRI and TBI communities and delivering even greater benefits to the larger health care and life sciences communities.

Examples of informatics foci that will be included in the scientific program of 2011 AMIA Summit on Clinical Research Informatics include:

• Novel methods and technologies for clinical study design and execution;
• Data collection, integration, and analysis methods and platforms;
• Explorations of people, organizational, and policy issues that effect the design and adoption of informatics solutions in the clinical research environment; and
• Approaches to the education of both informaticians and clinical investigators to provide for a CRI-literate clinical research workforce.
