Clinical Terminology Shock and Awe

Fifth Annual Workshop of the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group

Date: September 7-8, 2016

Venue: Ramada Hotel, Amherst, NY

Goals:

The Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group was established in 2012 to leverage the use of common ontologies to support different aspects of information-driven clinical and translational research. The focus of this meeting is to explore new and existing uses of common ontologies to support sharing and discovery of data and resources, researcher networking, and particularly to support the evaluation of research.

Like its predecessors in the series, this meeting is designed to bring together clinical and translational scientists from across the CTSA Consortium who are interested in using ontologies to promote discoverability and interoperability of biomedical data.

​Specific themes will include:

• A​dvanc​ing​ reproducibility ​of clinical and translational research (BFO, OBI, LOINC)

• ​Advancing EHR interoperability​ (addressing SNOMED and meaningful use regulations)

​*Improving EHR data usability​

• ​I​mproving SNOMED usability

​*Advancing interoperability of clinical data generally and of EHR data in particular

• ​Improving EHR usability in the clinic

• i2b2, PCORnet, OMOP and other approaches to clinical data sharing
