Health Information Systems Research Centre Launch
15.02.2011
The Health Information Systems Research Centre (HISRC) was officially launched recently by Dr Michael Murphy, President, UCC. The HISRC is a multidisciplinary centre building on the growing synergy between information systems, technology and healthcare to become the leading research centre of its type in the country. Translational research within the HISRC investigates how technology integration, social factors, organisational structures and business processes affect healthcare services. These technologies can be used to aid self-management of diseases and by healthcare professionals in all sectors from primary to tertiary healthcare, with the aim of significantly improving patient outcomes.

Presenting at the launch was Daniel Goldsmith a Research Associate from the Centre for Digital Business (CDB) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Daniel gave a talk on “Improving Hospital Operations Using Bar-Code Capture Data and System Dynamics Modelling Techniques”. During Daniel’s stay at UCC a number of meetings were held to examine the establishment of a more formal linkage between the HISRC and the CDB to support future collaboration across a range of health Information systems research projects.
