Evidence Generating Medicine: Leveraging Informatics to Enable a Learning Health System

Dr. Embi will summarize the findings of the day’s talks and put them in context. As he does, he will describe the emerging concept of “Evidence Generating Medicine” as a counterpart to “Evidence Based Medicine” to enable what the United States Institute of Medicine has termed the Learning Health System. He will describe how Health IT and Informatics solutions and advances can enable not only improvements in healthcare and the health of patients and populations, but also advances in the science of medicine to improve health and healthcare into the future.
