About CIHC
The Center for Intelligent Health Care works across the University of Nebraska system to unite clinicians, clinical informaticists, data scientists, and computer scientists to envision and enable the next generation of health care. The center focuses on three core areas: good data (creating computable, interoperable health data), good design (using human factors design to build efficient solutions for clinicians and patients), and optimizing human and computer cognition (developing AI solutions that facilitate human decision-making).
