AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium
Date
November 5, 2022 08:30am - November 9, 2022 01:45pm
US/Eastern
The AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium showcases the latest innovations from the community of biomedical informatics researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest span the spectrum from deciphering the underpinning phenomena of disease, to managing information and communications for improving patient care, to tracking the health of populations.
The AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium brings together informatics professionals from diverse backgrounds committed to transforming health through informatics. From the leading experts in the field, to the students eager to get started, the AMIA 2022 Annual Symposium provides an opportunity to learn and to grow professionally, to network, and to flesh out ideas with colleagues and start new collaborations.
Stop by booth 319 to meet with our RTI experts and learn about our practice areas. Also be sure to attend the sessions and events featuring RTI researchers during the symposium.
RTI Featured Session
Informatics Partnership Council Presentation - What is the Role for Industry in Informatics Research?
Monday, November 7 | 10:30 AM – 12:00PM EDT
Panelist: Joshua Richardson, PhD
Evaluating the development, implementation, and use of health IT systems is a foundational element in the science of biomedical informatics. We will discuss the topics of commercial and non-commercial bias, the peer review process, authorship requirements, proprietary software, and the role of AMIA in guiding policy in this area.
RTI Poster Sessions
Health Information Technology Adoption and Utilization in Long-Term and Post-Acute Care Settings
Tuesday, November 8 | 5:00 PM – 6:30PM EDT
Presenter: Rebecca McGavin, MSSP
LTPAC providers are adopting EHRs to support their clinical and business needs but use of interoperable means to share health information is problematic. In 2021 a research team from RTI International conducted a landscape analysis to explore changes in LTPAC HIT adoption and utilization. Preliminary findings found that LTPAC use of interoperability features in their EHRs lags without a driver or policy lever. Findings, including barriers, facilitators, innovators, and potential policy options will be discussed.
Enhancing Value Set Maintenance for Transferring Harmonized Laboratory Data from Health Care Institutions to Registries
Tuesday, November 8 | 5:00 PM – 6:30PM EDT
Presenter: Sara Armson, MS
In a collaboration with FDA, we developed a FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) to advance the semantic interoperability of laboratory test data exchange between a healthcare institution and a registry. For this project, we created adaptive value sets of LOINC codes based on a rules and query filters rather than a simple list of codes, and as a result, the value sets will automatically update to include new content when new versions of LOINC are loaded to the user's FHIR server.
Our experts in informatics, emerging technologies, and data analytics collaborate across business and clinical departments using evidence-based approaches to define the clinical value of patient- and enterprise-facing health IT.
