Overview and i10x10
We must invest not only in technology, but also in the education, training, and healthcare professionals who have knowledge and skills beyond clinical training. Every hospital, clinic, and healthcare organization will need professionals versed in informatics to assist with implementation, use, and success of health IT systems.
— Don E. Detmer, MD, MA, Past AMIA President

Overview and i10x10
o What does an AMIA 10x10 partner look like?
- Demonstrated ability to deliver a high-quality educational experience
- Deliver approximately the equivalent in workload and sophistication of a three credit, graduate level course
www.amia.org
Overview and i10x10
o What does an AMIA 10x10 partner look like? (con’t)
- Offer the content primarily through distance learning technologies, with at least one face-to-face session with students during the course
- Provide instruction that is aligned with AMIA's mission, vision and goals
www.amia.org
Overview and i10x10
We require that proposals provide…o Can deliver a distance learning program
- Number of past courses and students taught
- Infrastructure to support on-line teachingo Goals, intended audience and prerequisite level of
educationo Course format and structure
- e.g., weekly lectures with readings, individualized instruction, project-based learning, etc
o Include a description of instructional materials
www.amia.org
Overview and i10x10
Proposals provide (con’t) …o Syllabus that lists the specific course sessions by
topic with measurable learning objectives for each session including desired competencies upon completion
o A description of the face to face componento List of faculty involved in the delivery of the course,
including specific role of each in the course and evidence that each faculty member has the requisite informatics expertise

Overview and i10x10
The Emergence of i10x10 with the Informatics Community…
o 10x10 established in North America
o Collegial desire to translate and/or export 10x10 course
o Financial constraint in applying US business model
www.amia.org
Overview and i10x10
The Emergence of i10x10 with AMIA…
o A desire by AMIA to increase capacity in low to medium resource countries
- Notion of global citizenry a clear of objective in mission, visions, goals of organization
o Aligned with other AMIA efforts of the time- Bellagio conference
- Rockefeller Foundation-funded HIBBs
- Gates Foundation-funded Global Partnership Program
www.amia.org
Overview and i10x10
The i10x10 metaphor…
o International in scope
o Internet-based dissemination (blended with)
o In-person instruction at point of need
o Informatics (of course!)
www.amia.org
International Collaborations
Why Now?o Consensus around informatics education
requirements including competencies, certification, and accreditation
- BMI Core Competencies for Graduate Education (JAMIA)
- CI Core Content and Training Requirements (JAMIA)
- IMIA Program Accreditation
- AMIA’s Consideration of Accreditation with CAHIIM
o Emergence of Formal “Communities of Practice”- AMIA’s Academic Forum includes international programs
www.amia.org
Challenges to Sharing
o Intellectual propertyo Translation from US-based education context
- Language, cultural, socio-economic, learning environment
o Country-specific health care delivery models - Fee for service v. insurance-based v. government
sponsored health care
o Gatekeeper for patient information differs by countryo Regulatory, organizational, and financial differences
impact course design and content
www.amia.org
The Future of i10x10 and Beyond
Collaborative Global Informatics Education
o Informaticians from around the world have developed their own training capacity
o US-based educators remain eager to grow informatics capacity domestically and beyond
o Promise in the bi-lateral exchange of knowledge- Not just one-way learning!
o Focus on acute points of needo Tread with caution but remain hopeful
