Health Information Technology
RTI’s nonprofit mission aligns with federal health agency priorities. We partner with our clients to develop solutions that address specific needs and resources. We bring a data governance perspective, addressing data standardization, harmonization, interoperability, security, access, and sustainability. Our fusion of scientific research, IT expertise, broad technical capacity, technical innovation, and client-centered technical approach helps solve complex challenges.
We cultivate innovation by focusing resources on the leading edge to better serve our clients. Our client-centered technical approach and world-class quality management system assure federal agencies of effective health IT services. We use proven frameworks and innovative RTI tools that span the implementation and support of information systems for biomedical research, health sciences, and health care.
Unlocking the Potential of Biomedical Data
Our systems experts and multi-disciplinary research teams collaborate to support large NIH data coordinating centers, such as the Administrative Coordinating Center for ACTIV Integration of Host-targeting Therapies for COVID19–CONNECTS, the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Data Analysis Center, and the NHLBI BioData Catalyst.
- CONNECTS is a unique program that enables adaptive trials across multiple networks to test interventions simultaneously to address the COVID-19 pandemic, with assistance from the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translation Research. RTI supports health informatics, computing, IT service management, and programmatic expertise while dynamically partnering with NIH to address emerging public health issues.
- To help researchers understand the effects of environmental exposures on child health and development in over 59,000 children and over 97,000 total participants, we designed and built FIPS Moderate hybrid cloud environments to securely control access to data while providing a scalable, high-performance computing environment for analysis.
- As the co-leader of the NHLBI BioData Catalyst coordinating center, we manage a consortium of software development teams working on a cloud-based platform that is democratizing research by making it easier for all researchers, including under resourced groups, to perform complex analysis on precision medicine and COVID-19 data.
