This is funding to support a workshop of approximately 12 promising doctoral students along with 5 distinguished research faculty. The event, the 6th doctoral consortium on Sociotechnical Issues in Medical Informatics, will take place in conjunction with the 2013 Annual Symposium of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) in Washington DC on November 16-20. Held every fall, this is the premier AMIA conference and the largest biomedical informatics conference in the United State, attracting researchers, professionals and students from an array of occupational settings who are interested in all aspects of health information technologies. More information about the conference may be found at https://www.amia.org/amia2013. One issue that is of particular importance within medical informatics is the need to design/deploy systems with an understanding of how these systems fit into organizational and social contexts. The term sociotechnical denotes the importance of considering technical and organizational/social issues together rather than in isolation. For instance, the medical informatics community has long been interested in the technical features of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), but less attention has been paid to how the design of the EMR will be affected by who the primary users of the system are, what context it is used in, and what interactions it should support. Yet, to design effective EMR systems, we need to understand how these different issues impact each other. The growing need for integrating research across disciplines (e.g., HCI and Medical Informatics) is the primary motivation for this doctoral consortium. Therefore, student participants will span a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform medical informatics, including computer science, information science, engineering, clinical sciences, law, management and related fields. The doctoral consortium will take place on the weekend prior to the AMIA Symposium so the students can also participate in the conference, which will introduce them to the exciting breadth of research topics within the medical informatics community. Conversely, bringing a new generation of scholars from different disciplines into the medical informatics community will broaden that community's understanding of what other research disciplines can offer medical informatics.The consortium will provide a forum for doctoral students to share their work and also network with other doctoral students and researchers. Student participants will give short presentations during the consortium and will receive constructive remarks and feedback on their research from prominent researchers as well as through interaction with other students. The feedback is designed to help students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Thus, the consortium will help shape both these ongoing and future inter- and multi-disciplinary research projects focusing on organizational and social issues surrounding health-related technologies. The names and abstracts of the accepted participants will be printed in the AMIA program guide, and will also be made available to the public on a special website to be developed by the organizers.Broader Impacts: The doctoral consortium will bring together people from different disciplines who might not otherwise engage with one another and will expose them to different scientific research approaches and questions. It will foster a sense of community among the young researchers by allowing them to create a supportive mentoring and social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. The organizers will make a concerted and proactive effort to ensure a diverse pool of student participants including members of under-represented groups in the STEM disciplines; this, in turn, will broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.

这是为了支持大约12名有前途的博士生的研讨会以及5位杰出的研究教师。 该活动是第六届医学信息学社会技术问题的博士联盟，将于11月16日至20日在华盛顿特区举行的2013年美国医学信息学协会（AMIA）年度研讨会。 每年秋天举行，这是美国首屈一指的AMIA会议和美国最大的生物医学信息学会议，吸引了来自一系列职业环境的研究人员，专业人士和学生，他们对健康信息技术的各个方面都感兴趣。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问https://www.amia.org/amia2013。医学信息学中特别重要的一个问题是需要设计/部署系统，以了解这些系统如何适应组织和社会环境。 社会技术一词表示将技术和组织/社会问题共同考虑而不是孤立的重要性。 例如，长期以来，医学信息学界对电子病历（EMR）的技术特征感兴趣，但是对EMR的设计将如何受到系统的主要用户的影响，其使用方式，其使用的上下文以及应支持的互动的关注更少。 但是，要设计有效的EMR系统，我们需要了解这些不同的问题如何相互影响。 跨学科（例如HCI和医学信息学）跨学科的研究的需求日益增长是该博士联盟的主要动机。 因此，学生参与者将跨越广泛的学科和方法，这些学科和方法为医学信息学提供了信息，包括计算机科学，信息科学，工程，临床科学，法律，管理和相关领域。 博士联盟将在AMIA研讨会之前的周末举行，以便学生还可以参加会议，这将向他们介绍医学信息学社区中令人兴奋的研究主题广度。 相反，将来自不同学科的新一代学者带入医学信息学社区将扩大社区对其他研究学科可以提供医学信息学的理解。该财团将为博士生提供一个论坛，以便博士生分享他们的工作并与其他博士生和研究人员建立联系。 学生参与者将在财团期间进行简短的演讲，并通过与其他学生进行互动，从而收到有关其研究的建设性评论和反馈。 该反馈旨在帮助学生理解和阐明其工作相对于相关研究的定位，他们的主题是否充分专注于论文研究项目，是否正确选择和应用了他们的方法，以及他们的结果是否适当分析和介绍。 因此，该财团将有助于塑造这些持续不断的和未来的跨学科研究项目，重点介绍与健康相关技术的组织和社会问题。 公认的参与者的名称和摘要将在AMIA计划指南中印刷，并且还将在组织者开发的特殊网站上向公众提供。Broader的影响：博士联盟将使来自不同学科的人聚集在一起，他们可能不会彼此互动，并将他们互相接触，并将其揭露给不同的科学研究方法和问题。 这将通过允许他们在专业发展的关键阶段建立支持性的指导和社交网络来促进年轻研究人员之间的社区感。 组织者将做出一致而积极的努力，以确保包括STEM学科中代表性不足的团体成员在内的各种学生参与者；反过来，这将把学生的视野扩大到该领域的未来利益。
