Healthcare Informatics Research
The Healthcare Informatics Research portfolio is composed of projects that integrate technology with biomedical knowledge and/or patient information in the service of veteran care to improve decision-support systems, evidence-based practices, collaboration and continuity of care among providers, care management (including some telemedicine applications), and veteran and provider education. Projects also facilitate the development of veteran databases and tools needed for knowledge discovery and public health surveillance. The objective is to develop and evaluate innovative informatics applications for evidence-based medicine, decision support, veteran and provider education, personalized care management, veteran safety, increased efficiency, and knowledge discovery. Healthcare informatics is an HSR&D priority as described in the current Program Announcement of HSR&D Priorities.
