Join UW Data Science on Tuesday, December 5th for their final UW Data Science Seminar of 2023 with Jimmy Phuong, MSPH, PhD, who is Acting Assistant Professor of UW Biomedical and Health Informatics. The seminar will be held in person in the UW Physics/Astronomy Auditorium A102 from 4:30 to 5:20 p.m. Pacific. Learn more about Dr. Phuong’s seminar here.
“Population health research & research data sharing in national research consortia”
Abstract: Health systems are uniquely positioned to survey the health of their patient population, including the effects of natural hazards, disaster disruptions, and public health emergencies. Health systems are an integral part of biomedical research consortia, where data sharing supports data-driven research and iterative quality improvements to the data from each health system. Apart from clinical outcomes, health systems are gradually increasing their focus upon collecting and addressing gaps in understanding Social Determinants of Health (or Social Drivers of Health, SDoH) and their dynamic role in maintaining health and wellness. This includes integrating patient-level information as well as place-based information integrated from geocoding and secondary use of spatial-temporal datasets. In this talk, I will discuss the nexus of environmental health, disaster management and population health research, and biomedical informatics research. I will also discuss the directions from health system preparedness, the broader implications towards research data sharing and research consortia with a precision medicine focus, and the analytical capacities needed for research with multiple data types in cloud infrastructure.
