- Join an initiative to connect social and behavioral information with clinical data to improve patient care and enable research.
Many of today's critical problems - like the opioid crisis - require looking at a complete picture. However, information lives in a variety of places and is often disconnected and disjointed. Regenstrief Institute is currently undertaking an initiative to connect these disparate sources of information to allow doctors, researchers, social workers, and public health to connect all the dots and tackle these major issues head-on. Work is just getting underway and the first step is building the infrastructure - both technical and administrative - that will enable this important project.

Background research ranging from data governance to technical specifications.
