The AAMC's Group on Information Resources (GIR) promotes
excellence in the application and integration of information
resources in academic medicine. In an age when Health
Information Technology is a strategic asset, GIR's research,
development, and policy-setting on information resources,
informatics, educational technology, infrastructure, standards,
and related science and technology is vital to the advancement
of medical teaching institutions. More

Viewpoint: Perspective on IT in Academic Medicine from a
GIR Member
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
(UTHSCSA) has a long-standing and successful partnership with
the Audie Murphy South Texas Veterans Health Care System.
In 2007, several highly-publicized data breaches caused the
VA system to re-evaluate their security policies and procedures.
What followed were a series of decisions that crippled the
research collaboration at UTHSCSA, as well as other academic
affiliates across the country. Read the complete
article, by Bill Sanns, Director of Information Systems,
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, at UTHSCSA.
