  1. Joint Program Committee (JPC-1b)Health Information Technology & Medical Informatics HIMSS NCA David Schroeder 20 April 2011

  2. Briefing Goals This Briefing will present: • MHS HIT research funding overview • JPC-1b structure & role • JPC-1b research areas • JPC-1b research goals

  3. Research Funding Categories

  4. Pre-FY10 Early-stage HIT R&D funding • Fragmented & unpredictable • Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) • Congressional Special Interest (CSI) • Various Military Service funded R&D programs • As a result • No roadmap for early-stage HIT R&D • Research not always aligned well with needs • Poor transfer of research experience • Development without full exploration of options • Programmatic risks not well mitigated

  5. Some Current Research Initiatives • Explore natural language processing for use in the MHS • Prototype an enterprise master person index applicable to the NwHIN • Prototype a clinical intelligence application for health outcomes analysis and research • Prototype a predictive analytics application for a distributed decision support infrastructure

  6. JPC-1 Planning & Execution Structure Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) Director, Defense Medical R&D Program Decision & Approval Commanding General US Army Medical Research & Materiel Command Principal Assistant for Research & Technology Review & Oversight Principal Assistant for Acquisition Principal Assistant for Contracting Joint Program Committee-1b (JPC-1b) Program Planning Telemed & Adv Tech Research Center (TATRC) In coordination with TMA & Services Execution Contract & Grant Officers via US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity
