The Johns Hopkins Center for Population Health IT hosted a 1-day symposium sponsored by the National Library of Medicine to help develop a national research and development (R&D) agenda for the emerging field of population health informatics (PopHI).
The symposium provided a venue for national experts to brainstorm, identify, discuss, and prioritize the top challenges and opportunities in the PopHI field, as well as R&D areas to address these.
This manuscript summarizes the findings of the PopHI symposium. The symposium participants' recommendations have been categorized into 13 overarching themes, including policy alignment, data governance, sustainability and incentives, and standards/interoperability.
The proposed consensus-based national agenda for PopHI consisted of 18 priority recommendations grouped into 4 broad goals: (1) Developing a standardized collaborative framework and infrastructure, (2) Advancing technical tools and methods, (3) Developing a scientific evidence and knowledge base, and (4) Developing an appropriate framework for policy, privacy, and sustainability. There was a substantial amount of agreement between all the participants on the challenges and opportunities for PopHI as well as on the actions that needed to be taken to address these.
PopHI is a rapidly growing field that has emerged to address the population dimension of the Triple Aim. The proposed PopHI R&D agenda is comprehensive and timely, but should be considered only a starting-point, given that ongoing developments in health policy, population health management, and informatics are very dynamic, suggesting that the agenda will require constant monitoring and updating.
约翰霍普金斯大学人口健康信息技术中心主办了一场由美国国立医学图书馆赞助的为期一天的研讨会，以帮助制定新兴的人口健康信息学（PopHI）领域的国家研发议程。
该研讨会为国家专家提供了一个场所，以便他们进行头脑风暴、识别、讨论并确定PopHI领域的首要挑战和机遇，以及应对这些挑战和机遇的研发领域。
本文总结了PopHI研讨会的结果。研讨会参与者的建议被归类为13个总体主题，包括政策协调、数据治理、可持续性和激励措施以及标准/互操作性。
拟议的基于共识的PopHI国家议程由18项优先建议组成，分为4个广泛目标：（1）制定标准化的协作框架和基础设施，（2）推进技术工具和方法，（3）建立科学证据和知识库，（4）制定政策、隐私和可持续性的适当框架。所有参与者在PopHI的挑战和机遇以及应对这些挑战所需采取的行动方面达成了大量共识。
PopHI是一个迅速发展的领域，旨在应对“三重目标”的人口维度。拟议的PopHI研发议程全面且及时，但鉴于卫生政策、人口健康管理和信息学的持续发展非常动态，该议程应仅被视为一个起点，这表明该议程需要不断监测和更新。
