The Emory + Children’s Health Informatics Core (CHIC) provides state-of-the-art informatics expertise to investigators looking to leverage electronic health record (EHR) data and related technologies for funded research, multicenter collaboration, and interventions to promote health in children. The CHIC is divided into the three teams:
- Data Delivery Team (DDT): aims to improve the efficiency of using EHR data for research.
- Innovation Team (IT): aims to collaborate with researchers and innovators to produce new technology-enabled care that demonstrably improves outcomes.
- Collaboration Team (CT): provides technical infrastructure to accelerate activities of both DDT and IT.
CHIC is committed to supporting pediatric researchers. To ensure the high quality of completed data requests and to maintain the viability of the core, we have implemented the CHIC Data Delivery Awards, a subsidy application process for requests without adequate funding.
