About CITIH
The Ohio State University Center for IT Innovations in Healthcare (CITIH) engages in research, development, and evaluation activities intended to yield innovative IT informatics platforms for use by the healthcare and biomedical sciences community. CITIH’s fundamental mission is to investigate unsolved problems in biomedical science and healthcare delivery and solve these problems by applying IT solutions developed by CITIH researchers as well as external collaborators. A common principle to all CITIH research, development, and evaluation programs is the active pursuit of technology and knowledge transfer between center members and our collaborating external academic institutions and industry partners. A foundation of CITIH’s collaboration with external partners is the incorporation of multidisciplinary team-based approaches spanning such public-private partnerships during all phases of the center’s projects and initiatives.
CITIH is led by Dr. Herb Smaltz, CIO of the OSU Medical Center, and Dr. Jeffrey Parvin, Interim Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics, with Senior Scientific Advisor for the center, Dr. Philip Payne. Software research and development efforts within CITIH are led by directors Shannon Hastings, Albert Lai, Steve Langella, and Scott Oster.
Four ways that individuals, academic, and industry partners can collaborate with the CITIH are:
- Public-private partnerships to evaluate novel healthcare IT platforms in the world class, living laboratory present at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
- Participate / Sponsor CITIH’s Healthcare IT Innovation Summits and Symposia.
- Collaborative software development efforts, such as caGrid and CTSA.
- Individual donations: Gifts may be made for targeted initiatives, specific research areas, endowed chairs and scholarships. General donations are also welcome.
