DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the 21st century, the breadth and depth of information challenges our focus and efficiency every day. The healthcare system and its providers are no exception. Health information is the cornerstone of medical decisions and is the foundation on which patients and clinicians act. Patients and clinicians have so much information from so many sources that many suffer from "information overload," which may impede decisions and action. The solution is the advancement of health information technology as a knowledge management tool which connects the systems to the people. By generating knowledge about the design and utility of health information technology, as well as developing new, innovative applications and systems, we can better serve both the population-based and the interpersonal needs of patients and clinicians. The "knowledge hierarchy" framework describes data, information, knowledge and wisdom as a hierarchy leading to understanding and connectedness. Leveraging this framework as the basis, the VA HSR&D Center for Health Information and Communication (CHIC) proposes to generate knowledge about the utility of newly designed tools that integrate data in the clinical domains of disease prevention, diagnosis, management and prognostication. Additionally, CHIC seeks to identify similarities and differences in the patterns of health information exchanged during transitions in care and to test interventions aiming to improve provider-to-provider handoffs during these transitions. Thirdly, CHIC will continue to promote the translation of health services research into effective practice by advancing research methods. By doing these things, the CHIC will address both system-to-person and interpersonal information exchange and communication. The end result of these efforts will be maximized patient safety, improved health outcomes and improved healthcare processes.

描述（由申请人提供）： 在21世纪，信息的广度和深度挑战了我们每天的关注和效率。医疗保健系统及其提供者也不例外。健康信息是医疗决策的基石，是患者和临床医生行动的基础。患者和临床医生从许多来源中拥有如此多的信息，许多人都遭受了“信息过载”的困扰，这可能会阻碍决策和行动。解决方案是将健康信息技术作为一种知识管理工具的发展，将系统连接到人民。通过建立有关健康信息技术的设计和实用性以及开发新的创新应用和系统的知识，我们可以更好地满足患者和临床医生的基于人群和人际关系的需求。 “知识层次结构”框架将数据，信息，知识和智慧描述为导致理解和联系的层次结构。 VA HSR＆D健康信息与交流中心（CHIC）利用这一框架作为基础，提出了有关将数据集成到疾病预防，诊断，管理和预后的新设计工具的实用性的知识。 此外，Chic旨在确定在护理过渡期间交换的健康信息模式的相似性和差异，并测试旨在改善这些过渡期间提供商到提供者交接的干预措施。第三，Chic将继续通过推进研究方法来促进将健康服务研究转化为有效实践的转化。 通过做这些事情，别致将解决系统与人际关系信息交流和沟通。这些努力的最终结果将是最大化患者安全，改善健康结果并改善医疗保健过程。
