The Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) Department of Biomedical Informatics's (DBMI) monthly newsletter, DBMI Digest, is now available to view. 

Vanderbilt University Medical Center has been awarded a $5 million grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to establish a multidisciplinary center focused on training scientists and supporting research to minimize gaps between the generation of clinical evidence, implementation of proven interventions and development of informed public health policy.

Research Analyst II – Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center (VCLIC) The Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center (VCLIC) leads clinical informatics research and practice at VUMC, with a focus on making electronic health records (EHRs) safer, smarter, and more effective by using cutting edge artificial intelligence approaches to learn from the vast amount of data collected in EHRs, among other methods. 

The DBMI Grand Rounds for Spring 2024 will resume on January 24, 2024, and will take place every Wednesday from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Please check the DBMI Events page to view the list of upcoming speakers for the spring semester.   

Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were awarded funding from the Augmented Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare Initiative (AIM-HI) Coordinating Center at Kaiser Permanente for their project “Advancing Novel Approaches and Best Practices for Effective AI-Enabled Diagnosis using Randomized Trials, Algorithmovigilance, and Proactive Risk Assessment.”
