Body: AMIA and the ABPM are working together to build the subspecialty of Clinical Informatics which has received American Board of Medical Specialties approval under the administration of ABPM and with the American Board of Pathology. Program requirements for fellowship are being developed by the ACGME. Eligibility to sit for the examination will be through a Practice Pathway for the first 5 years of the examination, to begin in 2013. This session will discuss specifics regarding the rules for acceptance as a candidate to sit for the initial certification examination, as well as for the four parts required for recertification under Maintenance of Certification: professionalism, lifelong learning, cognitive examination, and practice performance.The ABPM is a member Board of the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Participants worked together to begin laying key foundational elements that promise to harmonize and coalesce cutting-edge work presently underway into a national-scale LHS. Utilizing a definition developed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), a â€oeLearning Health Systemâ€! is defined as â€oeone in which progress in science, informatics, and care culture align to generate new knowledge as an ongoing, natural by-product of the care experience, and seamlessly refine and deliver best practices for continuous improvement in health and health care.â€! Achievement of a national-scale LHS will improve health care quality by streamlining research, by supporting public health, by advancing patient safety, and by empowering clinicians and patients alike to make better-informed health decisions through enabling investigators to study what works best for every disease for every patient. Through a learning system, new biomedical knowledge will find its way very quickly into health care. Participants in the two-day Summit began working toward achieving multi-stakeholder consensus on a set of principles that would underlie the development of a national-scale LHS benefiting stakeholders across the health care spectrum. Summit participants represented organizations and stakeholder groups including: patient advocacy and consumer organizations, provider organizations, research organizations, government agencies, payers, clinicians, the pharmaceutical industry, health IT vendors, philanthropic organizations, professional associations, research initiatives and organizations, and thought leaders.
