The University of Texas Board of Regents recently earmarked $12.4 million to create a UT System Clinical Data Network to connect patient data from six existing UT health institutions, with the potential to expand the project to their affiliated hospitals and clinics and to the two new medical schools at UT Austin and UT Rio Grande Valley, which open this month.
The School of Biomedical Informatics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston will coordinate the clinical network. “We measure our performance by the data that is available to us,” said Ray Greenberg, M.D., Ph.D., UT System executive vice chancellor for health affairs, in a prepared statement.
