Abstract
The goal of Wisconsin Health Sciences IAIMS initiative (WI-IAIMS) is to enhance coordination through improved communication while preserving local control of information resources. The proposed aims of the project are to strengthen the organizational, technical and informatics infrastructure to support the health science research, teaching and service needs of the University of Wisconsin. The two-year planning initiative identified that successful solutions for an IAIMS in Wisconsin must adhere to the unique aspects of UW-Madison and state of Wisconsin training and research environment. Therefore, WI-IAIMS will be in line with a management philosophy that endorses local investment and control of information technology resources, educational programs that rely on numerous clinical training sites, and a commitment by the UW Health Science schools to expand research activities to better include and be responsive to the citizens of the state.
