“Researchers from Indiana University and the Regenstrief Institute, with its world-renowned medical informatics research group and regional health information exchange, have been awarded a $4.8 million grant by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create the Indiana Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics, one of only four such centers in the nation.
The five-year award builds upon the unique capabilities of the Indiana Network for Patient Care to securely exchange health information when and where needed for purposes of health care treatment. INPC, developed by Regenstrief physician-researchers, currently allows medical providers across the state to securely obtain patients’ medical histories, providing information critical to patient care. Nowhere else in the nation can this be done.”
