Two Regenstrief projects highlighted in the AMIA Year in Review
Nearly a dozen researchers with Regenstrief Institute connections were part of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)’s 2021 Annual Symposium.
The Annual Symposium showcases the latest innovations from the community of biomedical informatics researchers and practitioners. Attendees shared research and insight for leveraging information to improve human health. The event took place October 30 through November 3 in San Diego, California, after being held virtually last year.
Regenstrief research scientists, affiliated scientists, fellows and staff participated in panel discussions, gave oral presentations and showcased research in poster sessions.
In addition, work by the Regenstrief Global Health Informatics program using OpenMRS to create an emergency electronic medical record system at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic was highlighted in the AMIA Year in Review presentation. A paper written by a Regenstrief and Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health fellow on underrepresented racial minorities in biomedical informatics doctoral programs was also spotlighted in the disparities, diversity and equity section of the presentation.
