Accelerating Discoveries Toward Better Health

Note from CCTS Leadership |
|
Dear Reader,
Scientists are increasingly acknowledging the lack of representation of underserved populations in clinical trials. By not addressing diversity in research, it is difficult to understand the effects of treatment in all races and ethnicities and it also hinders the unbiased analysis of study results.
Most importantly, lack of diversity in clinical trials reduces the safety of consumers when a treatment makes it to the bedside.
This is where the CCTS Integrating Special Populations (ISP) Program can help. ISP is dedicated to helping investigators be more inclusive in their clinical and translational research to ensure representation that reflects the communities in which we live. ISP recognizes that there are challenges and limitations to conducting inclusive research, and the CCTS is committed to helping investigators overcome the existing barriers to achieve diversity.
We encourage you to read more about ISP within the CCTS, and to learn about all of the important work we do with clinical trials here.
Sincerely,

On June 2nd, 2021, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center issued updates to the existing HIPAA Policy. Committed to improving the lives of everyone that walks through the medical center’s doors, this change came not only to maintain HIPAA standards but also to ensure that protected health information (PHI) is secure.
There are a plethora of responsibilities that come with the HIPAA policy change. These responsibilities vary in workloads, depending upon your unit. For the Wexner Medical Center, where the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is located, associates must, “maintain and coordinate a governance structure for HIPAA in partnership with affected university units.”
