Mayo Clinic, Arizona State broaden informatics agreement

Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University have signed an agreement to deepen their collaboration in healthcare, medical research and education to help coordinate future complementary goals of both organizations.

As part of the new agreement, the Phoenix-based ASU will relocate its department of biomedical informatics to the Scottsdale campus of Mayo Clinic. ASU faculty, staff and students will complete the move by late summer 2011.

The new setup will draw on the strengths of ASU and Mayo, allowing the program to serve as an informatics engine for practice enhancement and safer, high quality patient care across Mayo Clinic, the nonprofit healthcare organization stated.
