Pancreatic cancer (PC) is ranked as the 11th most common cancer in the world with 458,918 new cases in 2018. It is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States by 2030. Most of the mortality is attributed to advanced stage at diagnosis, and hence, only a minority of patients (15-20%) are eligible for surgical resection.

Join AMIA’s Policy staff for a presentation and discussion on policy tactics and ideas to advance Informatics in 2024. In Fall 2023, AMIA approved the four Public Policy North Stars to guide AMIA’s policy pursuits through 2029. A lot has been accomplished in the first six months since implementation, including AMIA’s first virtual Hill Day, and there are exciting things to come.

Member engagement and strong leadership are critical to the success of AMIA. The 2024 Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for Board of Directors help meet the changing needs of AMIA members and to continue to advance the strategic plan.

AMIA relies on dedicated volunteers to participate in the educational peer-review process to uphold the quality and the scientific integrity of conference presentations.

This study describes the deployment process of an AI-driven clinical decision support (CDS) system to support postpartum depression (PPD) prevention, diagnosis and management. Central to this CDS is a predictive model trained on electronic health record (EHR) data at an academic medical center, and subsequently refined through a broader dataset from a consortium to ensure its generalizability and fairness.

The Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) at Oregon Health & Science University will be offering another Biomedical Informatics Distance Learning Course as part of the AMIA 10x10 Program.

Learning health system (LHS) aims to leverage technology, data analytics, and evidence-based practices to create a feedback loop that continuously informs healthcare delivery, policy, and practice. It requires a multidisciplinary approach to interpret patterns observed in real-world data with the associated context.

The online course was designed following active learning principles. It teaches state-of-the-art principles and practices to enable effective CDS. Topics include a review of the various types of CDS tools; principles of CDS governance and knowledge management; CDS technical architectures, standards (e.g., FHIR, SMART, CDS Hooks, Infobutton), and tools (OpenInfobutton, OpenCDS); and CDS implementation and evaluation.
