Two 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis initiatives were among 10 efforts named on July 19 as award winners of 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's Larry L. Sautter Award for Innovation in Information Technology.
51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis' Cohort Discovery earned a golden award for "innovation in information technology." Developed by the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Health System, this project allows researchers to more efficiently identify research subjects for clinical trials using patient databases while adhering to patient privacy regulations.
The PhysicianConnect initiative, also launched by the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Health System, was recognized with an honorable mention award. This tool gives referring physicians the ability to better access patient information.
All Sautter recipients were honored at the annual 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Computing Services Conference on July 19 at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏLA. Other recipents of gold or silver awards this year hailed from 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ San Diego, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Irvine, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Riverside and the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Office of the President.
The systemwide award recognizes information technology innovations that advance 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's mission of teaching, research, public service and patient care, or that improve administrative processes. For further details, see.
