Gold, MD, recently convened a group of faculty members to hear the challenges and opportunities of information management at UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 90 minutes, an in-person faculty group of educators, researchers and clinicians met Oct. 26 to discuss ways to improve local, academic unit, campus and systemwide UNMC information management organizational structures. A large group of \u201clisteners,\u201d including students, staff and leadership, participated at the same time via Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see the world as a combination of the ability to identify challenges and convert each to opportunities,\u201d Dr. Gold said, noting he has heard employees address IT challenges in multiple areas across UNMC\u2019s educational, research and clinical mission sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address concerns, the listening session focused on each UNMC mission \u2014 education, research and clinical care \u2014 and the IT challenges and opportunities related to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Organization structures<\/li><li>Policies and procedures<\/li><li>Support and services<\/li><li>Equipment and technology<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In-person attendees raised a variety of issues, including how to share and store large data sets, allow access of open-sourced software, provide greater support of Mac products and balance flexibility with standardization and security assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gold then asked both groups to document and share IT challenges and opportunities with him over the next week. Once the information is collected, he said, work groups will be created to prioritize issues, identify resources and develop a timeline to resolve the current challenges and to embrace future opportunities for strengthening this critically important area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing challenges is important for the institution, Dr. Gold said, but noted the IT team works daily to ensure UNMC\u2019s research, education and clinical missions are solid, well-performing and highly dedicated to excellence. \u201cThere is no malalignment of our common mission, but there clearly are multiple opportunities to continually improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chancellor Jeffrey P.
