Introduction to Informatics for Community Health Centers

The discipline of Health Informatics operates at the intersection of health sciences (e.g. basic, clinical, public health, librarianship, etc.), information technology and data science. It is in this area that a multidisciplinary understanding of health information needs, human-centered design and optimization of health information technologies (HIT) that drives innovation in the use and adoption of modern solutions supporting data-driven decisions that improve patient outcomes. 

At NACHC, we recognize the wide diversity and the unique challenges that community health centers and their patients face everyday. With this in mind, we have developed an interdisciplinary health informatics curriculum that invites students, trainees, graduates and post-graduate scholars from a range of disciplines including nursing, medical, public health, dental and allied health professions as well as fields such as computer, library and information sciences. This is an applied course that attempts to engage participants in relevant issues and challenges faced by community health centers across the nation.

Data Services Package

• Assessment of organizational health information technology (HIT) capacity

• Development of Measures

• Mapping

• Data Dictionary

• Feasibility Study for Collection of Data

• Data Quality Assessment

• Data Request

• Data Intake-Cleaning

• Data Validation

• Data Dashboards

• Data and clinical workflows before and after

• Data Use Case and Personas before and after

Depends on services needed. Would start with content on:

• Terminology and Mapping

• Measure Development

• Data Intake and Cleaning

• Data Validation

• Data Dictionary

Estimate 5-10 hours per module to complete

1-3 Partners data work

1-5 Partners data work

1- 15 Partners data work work

1- 20 Partners data work

Have foundational content in:

• CHI training

• Terminology video

• Lean output

• Pending data video

• Template examples

Design and pilot Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool

• Recruit partners to co-design and pilot

• Translate partner needs to CDS Guidance Developer

• Facilitate the CDS development process

• Manage the pilot

• Collect data

• Compile Pilot results, assess generalizability to EHRs, across systems.

LOE depends on scope. For building a FHIR-based CDS would require developer support estimate $100k plus funds for staffing.

Can use materials from O&E Learning Community, HIV CDS design

(Explanation in plain language of a service we provide based on John’s Vizio chart showing that NACHC can X data without data providers having to do Y using FHIR) or is this included in Data Services Package?

Design of a SMART on FHIR (something?)
