When Anji Seth was in graduate school, she never thought of herself as a big data scientist.
She just went to her engineering and atmospheric science classes, did the computer programming that was required, and learned as she went.
“All of my classes required some kind of programming – it was a natural thing,” she notes. “But we didn’t train specifically on it – we just did it. Climate science is one of the original ‘big data’ problems, but we didn’t always call it that.”
A data-sharing platform offered through the Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) announced that UConn Health has joined the system.
The platform, called CTHealthLink, allows providers to access patient data from hospitals, clinics and practices as patients are cared for in different settings and at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Data sharing across providers and facilities is particularly important when patients are transferred from their home communities to receive care, which is becoming more common as COVID-19 strains hospital capacity,” said UConn Health Professor Dr. Robert Aseltine. “Having immediate access to a patient’s full medical record under these conditions may save lives and significantly improve health care for Connecticut patients.”
