Item IUPUI Center for Health Geographics(Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Bodenhamer, David J.; Wilson, Jeffrey S.; Comer, Karen FredericksonThe IUPUI Center for Health Geographics develops and supports research innovation through integration of geographic information science, medical informatics, community informatics, and public health. Our areas of research emphasis include geospatial technologies and standards for health surveillance, spatial and temporal contexts of health behaviors and health outcomes, and space-time models for investigating disease and mortality trends. Our poster highlights our collaborations, which include interdisciplinary partnerships with investigators in the fields of geographic information science, social science, clinical epidemiology, medical informatics, and health services research.Item Measuring Population Health Using Electronic Health Records: Exploring Biases and Representativeness in a Community Health Information Exchange(IOS, 2015) Dixon, Brian E.; Gibson, P. Joseph; Comer, Karen Frederickson; Rosenman, Marc; Department of Epidemiology, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public HealthAssessment is a core function of public health. Comprehensive clinical data may enhance community health assessment by providing up-to-date, representative data for use in public health programs and policies, especially when combined with community-level data relevant to social determinants. In this study we examine routinely collected and geospatially-enhanced EHR data to assess population health at various levels of geographic granularity available from a regional health information exchange. We present preliminary findings and discuss important biases in EHR data. Future work is needed to develop methods for correcting for those biases to support routine epidemiology work of public health.Item NIH Biosketch(2023-01-01) Comer, Karen Frederickson
