Clinical Informatics: Empowering Physicians to Participate in the Data Revolution

Description

Clinical informatics is a subspecialist of medicine that, due to the rapid rate of evolution in this field, is hard to consistently define. Clinical informatics sits at the intersection of information science, information systems, workflow and process, and leadership and management, and the field works with data as it is captured, analyzed, and presented. This information is then used to improve patient care and outcomes and strengthen the provider-patient relationship.

Join Vaishali Popat, associate director of biomedical informatics in the Office of New Drugs at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, for a conversation that discusses the importance of physicians and health care professionals' role in clinical informatics and why it is important for this population to be involved in data collection and dissemination. This event is hosted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
