Services and Innovation
We want to hear from you! Here are some ways you can get involved or work with us!
- Students can work with SI2 to identify meaningful terminology or interoperability projects for Directed Studies courses.
- Instructors can work with SI2 to develop educational materials and hands-on, real-world, assignments or projects to integrate into your course or curriculum.
- Project-specific terminology or semantic interoperability questions. Researchers or information technology professionals can work with SI2 to select appropriate terminologies, develop protocols for encoding project data, formulating aims or methods for studies or grants which may benefit from the inclusion of formal concept or knowledge representation components.
- SI2 can assist EHR information technology professions in projects aimed at discovering optimal ways to represent (and encode) data in an Order Sets, Decision Support, Flowsheets, Templates (e.g., SmartText, SmartNote), or Notes (either semi-structured or narratives).
- Data engineers and data analytics can collaborate with SI2 to optimize data marts or data structures to optimize representation through inclusion of industry standard concepts including linking data structures to standards to optimize querying based on industry standard concepts (e.g., subsumption querying, ECL queries).
Of interest!
SI2 would like to work with patients and their families. Contact us if there is information relevant to managing your health or treatment that you believe is important to capture and share with your clinical or research team.
