Fig. 10.1 The conceptual framework underlying many of the advances needed to enable transla-
tional informatics
accomplished this for the purposes of clinical care, there are advances needed in
those platforms in order to integrate them with other translational tools in order to
realize the vision articulated herein. Once established, an infrastructure that can
readily transact data between component systems in effi cient, effective and secure
ways will signifi cantly expand the capabilities needed in order to not only achieve
meaningful use for clinical care, but also create a learning health system capable
of improving quality and advancing science by leveraging data collected fi rst and
foremost for clinical purposes.
