The recently created Center for IT Innovations in Healthcare (CITIH) is the Medical Center’s gateway for collaboration with technology leaders seeking to create and apply concepts and applications in a cutting-edge environment that leads the way to personalized health care. Partnering with CITIH gives industry leaders access to the operating environment of one of the nation’s most wired hospitals and the expertise of some of the world’s leaders in biomedical informatics. Industry collaborations with CITIH will facilitate opportunities for partners to develop, test, demonstrate and market IT innovations that enhance people’s lives through improved health. Two ways that individuals and industry leaders can collaborate with the CITIH are:
- Industrial Affiliates Program membership: This program supports the CITIH’s mission by fostering systematic collaborative opportunities and relationships between CITIH faculty in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and industry partners.
- Individual Donations: Gifts may be made for targeted initiatives, specific research areas, endowed chairs and scholarships. General donations are also welcome.
