Professor Yi-Hsin Yang, also known as Connie Yang, is a biostatistician by training. She has been actively involved in real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) development focusing on comparative effectiveness research. She has designed and implemented a common data model (CDM) for hospital-based health care big data to serve the needs of precision health research for the National Biobank Consortium of Taiwan (NBCT). While it is crucial to generated RWD by domain-knowledge experts to fulfill unmet needs in innovation biomedical science development, cross-government ministries and agencies have collaborated to the project of “Sustainable Platform for Big Data in Health Project”. Professor Yang is currently in charge the sub-theme entitled “Gateway to Health Data & Data Governance” being part of “Health Big Data Infrastructure Establishment” program. The goal is to provide a portal to ensure data users can find fit-for-use data from data providers.
Since 2019, She joined National Health Research Institutes, and has been devoted to RWD and RWE development through the use of health administrative database and government database. Her focus includes analysis methodology and clinical research using health database. While maximize data impact has become an important theme of current precision health, she has collaborated with multi-disciplinary experts to establish infrastructures in promoting fit-for-use data elements, facilitating data interoperability and data quality.
