The CCTS Informatics Program capitalizes on existing strengths and develops new capabilities to enhance clinical and translational research at UAB. The Program serves as the resource center for UAB CCTS efforts that provide the CCTS with the informatics infrastructure to collect structured clinical data at the point of care; export it to a data warehouse that also contains genomic and other biological information; and use the data for clinical, translational and outcomes research from bench to bedside and back. It is also enhancing communication among CCTS Programs and investigators and with the national CTSA community, as well as providing informatics education for CCTS researchers, trainees, and the next generation of informaticians.
