Expertise on work and health topics is the foundation for the added value of occupational health (OH) professionals to the health of the working population. Professionals should therefore practice in accordance with high quality standards and latest evidence. As adequate knowledge management and a supportive knowledge infrastructure is needed, OH professionals can discuss opportunities to strengthen both. Occupational health services ought to offer ICT facilities, stimulate organizational conditions and human resource development to implement evidence-based practice. On national level a portal including a virtual library, tailor-made for occupational health, providing access to high quality websites, abstracts and full text articles and books, is a backbone for further developments. Expert groups on various topics can function as

“…As modern curricula continue to focus more on competency and assessment and as today's relationships between teachers and students are redefined [8], IT and simulation will become vital resources. Paradigm shifts for students and teachers parallel those envisioned for patients and physicians as they navigate individualized, interactive, informationrich environments [1]. The benefits of experience in such an environment should extend from medical school to be naturally applied in the changing health care landscape.…”

The purpose of this study was to characterize medical students' learning behaviors and preferences related to information technology (IT) and assess their educational needs related to advances in IT and simulation in order to optimize curriculum and educational space design. An online survey was administered to all medical students enrolled in graduate medical education at Emory University School of Medicine. The survey assessed subjects' demographic data, current technology usage, and experiences and preferences related to: informatics, facilities, online learning, staff support and simulation. The response rate was 49% (214 of 440). 95% of respondents reported computer use of greater than 6 hours per week, and 75% reported owning and regularly using a laptop computer. Despite regularly seeking computer-based learning modalities, 55% of students reported being underprepared for the application of clinical informatics in their practice. 49% of students prefer group learning and prioritize large group learning areas with large desks. Health science libraries designed to address the preferences for portable technology and group learning may encourage the incorporation of the library into the medical student learning experience, allowing librarians to assume formal and informal roles in the curriculum as students learn to search and apply information resources.Information technology (IT) and simulation are playing increasing roles in medical training and prac-

Health Systems Innovation at Academic Health Centers

Challenged by demands to reduce costs and improve service delivery, the U.S. health care system requires transformational change. Health systems innovation is defined broadly as novel ideas, products, services, and processes-including new ways to promote healthy behaviors and better integrate health services with public health and other social services-which achieve better health outcomes and/or patient experience at equal or lower cost. Academic health centers (AHCs) have an opportunity to focus their considerable influence and expertise on health systems innovation to create new approaches to service delivery and to nurture leaders of transformation. AHCs have traditionally used their promotions criteria to signal their values; creating a health systems innovator promotion track could be a critical step towards creating opportunities for innovators in academic medicine. In this Perspective, the authors review publicly available promotions materials at top-ranked medical schools and find that while criteria for advancement increasingly recognize systems innovation, there is a lack of specificity on metrics beyond the traditional yardstick of peer-reviewed publications. In addition to new promotions pathways and alternative evidence for the impact of scholarship, other approaches to fostering health systems innovation at AHCs include more robust funding for career development in health systems innovation, new curricula to enable trainees to develop skills in health systems innovation, and new ways for innovators to disseminate their work. AHCs that foster health systems innovation could meet a critical need to contribute both to the sustainability of our health care system and to AHCs' continued leadership role within it.
