How Health Care Data can be Used to Expand the Evidence Base and Promote Cost-eff ective Health Outcomes This is the age of opportunity for health care! There is now so much health care data available that when it is aggregated, analyzed, mined and visualized it can provide the information needed to enable evidence-based, cost-eff ective, better health care. Biomedical Informatics is the scientifi c discipline that optimizes the access to and use of biomedical and health care information for the benefit of public health. This conference is about Biomedical Informatics. It sets out to identify the critical questions of public health policy, drug discovery and development, health care delivery, and begins to address how biomedical informatics is fundamental to advances in these areas. CRITICAL QUESTIONS INCLUDE: 1. How do we encourage participation in the clinical research enterprise? Is integrative biomedical informatics the key to maximizing the value of what is learned from clinical trials? 2. How do drugs in the same therapeutic class compare in terms of safety and eff ectiveness? What do we know about diff erences in comparative safety and eff ectiveness by patient subpopulations? 3. How much do we know about drug safety and eff ectiveness at the time of drug approval? How can analytics maximize continued learning post approval? 4. How quickly and accurately can we detect and understand new safety signals? What are the practical challenges of obtaining, integrating, and analyzing the necessary data? 5. What Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) would ensure that drug benefi ts outweigh risks while minimizing added health care costs and maintaining patient access? 6. Do key health care stakeholders have access to the right information, of the right quality, at the right time, to make the best-informed decisions? Event Code: 10030
