A proposal titled "Capture of Smoking History in EHR for Assessment of Lung Cancer Screening Eligibility" has won the inaugural VCLIC Design Challenge, sponsored by the Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center (VCLIC).
Each academic year, VCLIC chooses a focus, this year's being "Making health care more equitable through technology." The center's inaugural design challenge sought to stimulate creative solutions on this theme.
Six participating teams presented their proposals and winners were announced April 7 at the weekly Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) Seminar.
"With a goal of seeing these innovative proposals to fruition, we'll be connecting the winners and the other participating teams with VCLIC, DBMI and HealthIT resources," said Adam Wright, PhD, professor of Biomedical Informatics and director of VCLIC.
