The book describes the core resources in informatics necessary to
support biomedical research programs and how these can best be
integrated with hospital systems to receive clinical information
that is necessary to conduct translational research. The focus is
on the authors’ recent practical experiences in establishing an
informatics infrastructure in a large research-intensive
children’s hospital. This book is intended for
translational researchers and informaticians in pediatrics, but
can also serve as a guide to all institutions facing the
challenges of developing and strengthening informatics support
for biomedical research. The first section of the book discusses
important technical challenges underlying computer-based
pediatric research, while subsequent sections discuss informatics
applications that support biobanking and a broad range of
research programs. Pediatric Biomedical Informatics provides
practical insights into the design, implementation, and
utilization of informatics infrastructures to optimize care and
research to benefit children.
