“The students’ findings may be used to further research at a later date,” said Dr. Anthony Blash, the team’s professor. “But our primary goal was to develop the skills necessary to effectively ask questions of large clinical datasets. Our team was very successful in that regard.”

The Healthcare Informatics team at Belmont University’s College of Pharmacy collaborates with interested organizations to provide competent graduate student healthcare informaticians. Collaborating is of no cost to the partnering organization and can help to advance the organization’s healthcare informatics initiatives currently underway or in the planning phase. This collaboration also benefits the Learning Health System as companies work with future pharmacists on projects that identify new or expanded healthcare informatics services in the pharmacy profession.
