John Wieczorek receives Ebbe Nielsen Prize for his work on integrating biosystematics and biodiversity informatics research. He will use the prize to expand projects in North America and beyond.
A new open-source software tool successfully removed over 98% of unique identifiers from pathology reports, including name, address, and social security numbers. The developers found that hospital-specific customization may be necessary to achieve optimal performance.
The Health Care Standards Landscape (HCSL) is a comprehensive source of information on health care standards, providing real and sample data to demonstrate its capabilities. Organizations such as the Agency for Health Research and Quality are collaborating with NIST on this project.
The five-site network will identify genetic and environmental determinants of premature birth, utilizing advanced genomic technologies and statistical methods. The study's goal is to gain a deeper understanding of preterm births, a leading cause of infant mortality.
Researchers at Ohio State University are developing a software system to let supercomputers share workload and analyze large amounts of data. This enables faster simulation speeds and improved accuracy in predicting oilfield output, reducing the need for simplification of computer models.
The NIH/National Library of Medicine (NLM) will administer a new public health information expert training program, funded by the $3.68 million grant. The program aims to develop more public health professionals skilled in applying computer technology to enhance their work.
A five-year initiative led by Partnership for Biodiversity Informatics will enhance researchers' global access to data and information. The project aims to locate relevant data sets, utilize distributed computational services, and exercise new analysis methods.
A University of Pittsburgh-led study found that two computer-based decision support systems significantly improved clinicians' ability to arrive at correct diagnoses, especially for medical students. The systems provided accurate and useful information to relatively inexperienced clinicians.
