I started working as the Academic and Career Coach for BISOM majors in May 2016, and I have enjoyed seeing the department grow their three outstanding majors! I am very proud of my students' accomplishments and love supporting them in their academic and career development. Never hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about Management Information Systems!

I grew up in Concord, NC (Go Spiders!) and pursued a B.A. in Psychology at UNC-Chapel Hill followed by a M.Ed. in Student Affairs at Clemson University. I currently live in the Noda area with my fiance, Harrison, and we love the QC! We enjoy traveling and staying active through running, playing golf, and hiking with our German Shorthaired Pointer, Tagg. 

Operations and Supply Chain Management Fun!

Operations Students Visit Target Distribution Center

This past week, a group of students majoring in Operations & Supply Chain Management (OSCM) visited the Target Distribution Center in Newton, NC. Dr. Moutaz Khouja regularly organizes and leads this trip, and local APICS members and other Belk College faculty joined the students on their visit.

Two managers at the Distribution Center took the students on a tour of their 1.8 million square foot center, which receives, stores, and distributes hundreds of thousands of products to 89 stores. They provided insight into store operations as well as the role of an operations manager, a popular entry-level position for new graduates in the OSCM major.

Health Informatics Seminar Series

The Health Informatics program supports a weekly research seminar series with other Universities across the state, alternating which campus presents while the others project a live viewing stream.

Next Wednesday, February 3rd UNCC is hosting the featured speaker, Dr. Russ Waitman of the Division of Medical Informatics, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kansas.

Building Informatics Capacity for Clinical/Translational and Pragmatic Research: Does Going Fishing Lead to Drinking and Driving? 

The conversation is lively and it’s a great way to network across the state without leaving campus. In particular, MIS, OSCM, ECON and all CHHS majors should be interested. His presentation will take place from 4:00 pm–5:00pm in Fretwell 126. 

Abstract
Academic Medical Centers require informatics capacity to 1) support clinical and translational research as outlined by the National Institutes of Health Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program and 2) advance aspirational goals of a learning health system.   This service capacity also provides a base for informatics research.  Established informatics data capture and integrated data repository infrastructure for CTSA designation has provided the basis for linking CTSA institutions to participate in PCORnet, the national Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.  PCORnet unites health care delivery systems and centers with groups of activated patients to create interoperable data and regulatory capabilities to support observational studies and prospective clinical trials nationally.  I will provide analogies for our informatics journey since 2010, highlight the development and capabilities of PCORnet such as the ADAPTABLE aspirin study, and reflect on how information infrastructure may have historical analogs in the development of our nation’s transportation system.

Learning Objectives

• Understand commonly used CTSA informatics systems for data capture (REDCap) and building a clinical integrated data repository (i2b2)
• Appreciate the regulatory issues surrounding protected health information and the role of de-identification methods in clinical research
• Describe how the federal government’s Electronic Health Record Meaningful Use data standards may provide the basis for data interoperability to support research
• Have an exposure to clinical trial workflows for the ADAPTABLE aspirin study and how informatics capabilities may enhance recruitment at reduced cost
• Appreciate how streamlining regulatory processes for contracting, data sharing, and human subjects protection (institutional review boards) is critical for defining common “research rules of the road” that allow everyone to travel on the highway paved by electronic health records and informatics infrastructure.
