Pediatric Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Pediatric Research, Second Edition

Editors: Hutton, John J. (Ed.)
Examples are based upon the authors’ practical experiences in providing informatics support to numerous research programs in a large children’s hospital
Focuses on the linkage of informatics and information technology to research
Introduces special challenges posed by support of clinical and basic research involving children and their families

The book describes the core resources in informatics necessary to support biomedical research programs and how these can best be integrated with hospital systems to receive clinical information that is necessary to conduct translational research. The focus is on the authors’ recent practical experiences in establishing an informatics infrastructure in a large research-intensive children’s hospital. This book is intended for translational researchers and informaticians in pediatrics, but can also serve as a guide to all institutions facing the challenges of developing and strengthening informatics support for biomedical research. The first section of the book discusses important technical challenges underlying computer-based pediatric research, while subsequent sections discuss informatics applications that support biobanking and a broad range of research programs. Pediatric Biomedical Informatics provides practical insights into the design, implementation, and utilization of informatics infrastructures to optimize care and research to benefit children.
