CTS Ontology Workshop 2023

Ontologies, AI and Electronic Health Records

More about the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) and previous meetings.

Feb 23 - 24, 2023 - Charleston, SC

Background

The Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) invites you to join us February 23-24, 2023, in Charleston, SC to discuss the role of ontologies in improving electronic health records (EHR) systems by advancing semantic interoperability, translational research, and artificial intelligence (AI). As health data increases in volume and complexity, and artificial intelligence applications gain momentum, the need for careful planning and interoperability becomes more critical. The purpose of this workshop is to explore new paradigms in EHRs, by examining successes and failures of ontologies and AI in different areas of biomedicine and their role in equitable healthcare.
