Abstract
Precision medicine offers the potential to improve health through deeper understandings of the lifestyle, biological, and environmental influences on health. Under Dr. Donald A. B. Lindberg’s leadership, the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) has developed the central reference resources for biomedical research and molecular laboratory medicine that enable precision medicine. The hosting and curation of biomedical knowledge repositories and data by NLM enable quality information reachable for providers and researchers throughout the world. NLM has been supporting the innovation of electronic health record systems to implement computability and secondary use for biomedical research, producing the scale of linked health and molecular datasets necessary for precision medicine discovery.
精准医学通过深入了解生活方式、生物和环境对健康的影响,提供了改善健康的潜力。在Donald A. B. Lindberg博士的领导下,美国国家医学图书馆(NLM)开发了生物医学研究和分子实验室医学的中心参考资源,使精准医学成为可能。NLM对生物医学知识库和数据的托管和管理使世界各地的提供者和研究人员能够获得高质量的信息。NLM一直在支持电子健康记录系统的创新,以实现生物医学研究的可计算性和二次使用,产生精确医学发现所需的链接健康和分子数据集的规模。
期刊介绍:
Information Services & Use is an information and information technology oriented publication with a wide scope of subject matters. International in terms of both audience and authorship, the journal aims at leaders in information management and applications in an attempt to keep them fully informed of fast-moving developments in fields such as: online systems, offline systems, electronic publishing, library automation, education and training, word processing and telecommunications. These areas are treated not only in general, but also in specific contexts; applications to business and scientific fields are sought so that a balanced view is offered to the reader.
