University Partnership for Health Informatics
The University Partnership for Health Informatics (UP-HI) has been created to educate new health professionals who can assist in the transition from paper to digital records - in the form of patients' electronic health records, prescriptions, best treatments/therapies and more. UP-HI members include the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, College of St. Scholastica and the University of Minnesota-Crookston. The consortium will educate Health Informatics professionals in six different specialties that take 6-24 months to complete with the aim of transformational improvement in the quality, safety, outcomes, and thus, the value of health services in the United States.

Information about NLP/IE coming soon!
Research spans the spectrum from basic to translational research. Moving along this spectrum, we encounter IHI researchers who perform the basic science of DNA sequencing; researchers concentrating on knowledge and data representation; and researchers pursuing more translational research endeavors, such as in-clinic needs analyses and addressing the challenges of implementing electronic health records.
