Using Data and Technology to Innovate Healthcare and Empower Our Communities
Using Data and Technology to Innovate Healthcare and Empower Our Communities
RIDE (Research in Informatics, Data integration and Emerging technologies) is the newest research team within the Department of Population Medicine’s TIDE division, launched in the Summer of 2023. The vision of RIDE is to build an internationally recognized program that utilizes cutting-edge innovations in Health IT to improve how epidemiologists, researchers, clinicians and other healthcare workers share, use, and understand health-related data. The overarching goal of RIDE is to facilitate population health research by leveraging existing data resources and harnessing emerging technologies. The RIDE team also helps to maintain and enhance the Sentinel Operations Center’s data infrastructure and works closely with the other divisions within HPHCI to build partnerships, innovate existing projects, and serve as technology Subject Matter Experts for new proposals.
The RIDE division is led by Anjum Khurshid, MD, PhD, a Member of the Faculty at Harvard Medical School and the Chief Data Scientist for the Sentinel Operations Center. Projects within RIDE are described in greater detail on the “RIDE Research” page, grouped into three categories: Informatics, Integration, and Innovations.
Our Projects
FHIRedSHIP: A FHIR-Based Community Data Platform for Patients and Providers
The FHIR-enabled Social and Health Information Platform (FHIRed-SHIP) is being designed to integrate a closed-loop social services referral system accessible through the electronic health records (EHRs) maintained and used by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).

SHIP: Social and Health Information Platform
As much as 90% of our overall health is determined not by clinical factors, but by social, behavioral, and environmental factors – also known as social determinants of health (SDoH)
FHIRedApp: Leading Edge Acceleration Projects
Getting access to one’s own health records can be difficult – often your health record is fragmented, with different pieces of it held by different providers, and there is typically a lengthy “authorization to release” process that involves paper forms…
Connxus: Central Texas Health Information Exchange
The Connxus (formerly ICC, the Integrated Care Collaboration) is the Health Information Exchange (HIE) for the Greater Austin/Central Texas area. HIEs organize and store electronic health information of patients across multiple providers and hospitals in one place, allowing doctors, pharmacists, EMTs and other providers to access a more complete record of patients’ medical information in a quick, secure, consistent, and cost-effective manner.
