UCSF Informatics Day 2014 - Ida Sim, "Informatics Technologies: From a Data-C...CTSI at UCSF
This document discusses moving from a data-centric to a hypothesis-centric view of clinical and translational research using electronic health records and other informatics technologies. It notes that most current research is observational rather than interventional, and outlines ways informatics could better support hypothesis testing through virtual, community-based, and point-of-care clinical trials by integrating risk calculators, structured note templates, surveys, and other tools directly into clinical workflows and patient portals. The presentation calls for further developing these informatics capabilities to facilitate more interventional research at lower cost.
This study evaluated the use of an interactive computer module to supplement a traditional paper informed consent form for pediatric endoscopy. Parents who received the supplemental electronic module were more likely to achieve informed consent compared to those who only received the paper form. The electronic module did not impact parent satisfaction, anxiety, or the number of questions asked of physicians. The results suggest that electronic tools can enhance traditional informed consent methods.

The Public Health Information Access Project (PHIA) aims to improve evidence-based public health practice by providing seamless access to published literature and other resources. PHIA identifies core trusted resources and makes them available through digital libraries for state public health departments. It also subsidizes access to other resources through participating National Network of Libraries of Medicine members. PHIA trains nearly 900 public health professionals and addresses limitations of previous short-term projects by providing sustainable long-term access to resources. Initial feedback indicates the digital libraries help inform policy development, program planning, and grant writing.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based nursing practice and how to effectively search for and evaluate evidence. It defines evidence-based practice as using the best available evidence from research to improve clinical practice. A 5-step process is outlined: formulating a question, searching literature, critically appraising evidence, applying evidence to practice, and re-evaluating. Guidance is given on formulating search strategies using PICO and searching various library databases and resources like Cochrane and CINAHL to find relevant evidence to answer clinical questions.
The document summarizes Peel Public Health's journey towards becoming more evidence-informed in decision making. It outlines how they initially lacked library services and staff skills in finding and applying research evidence. Over two years, they improved library services and provided training to build capacity. This included hiring librarians, gaining access to databases, and promoting pre-appraised research evidence sources like Health-Evidence.ca to help staff apply evidence more efficiently. The document provides examples and resources to help other organizations on their similar evidence-informed decision making journeys.

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docxBHANU281672
This document discusses integrating personal health records (PHRs) into electronic health record (EHR) platforms. While EHRs were initially focused on collecting patient data within healthcare settings, there is now interest in making records available to patients and allowing them to enter their own health data. Many patients currently use standalone PHRs, but an integrated system within EHRs could provide a more comprehensive health history. Some EHR platforms now include a PHR tool that lets patients enter information and access provider-entered data through a patient portal. However, integrating PHRs also raises debates around potential benefits, such as patient empowerment, and challenges regarding access, security, ethics, and other implications.

This concept can be applied to the wisdom of clinicians inside healthcare institutions. By gathering and sharing course content and tools between care facilities, hospitals can be connected to more than just the technical cloud. They can be connected to the wisdom of the cloud.
This presentation was funded by CDC and PEPFAR through the SUCCEED project at Stellenbosch University. The presentation was delivered by Ms Lynn Hendricks from the Centre for Evidence Based Health Care in July 2017
Why is the NIH investing $100M at the intersection of data science and health research? The NIH seeks to invest in ways to help researchers easily find, access, analyze, and curate research data. Researchers want visual analytics, and to build the database into a “social network” – being able to “friend” or “like” the data.
The document discusses developing an evidence-based population health improvement plan to address a widespread health issue in a community. It involves evaluating demographic, environmental and epidemiological data to identify the health issue. A plan is then developed to address the issue, based on current evidence from at least 3-5 sources. The plan must be culturally sensitive and consider the community's needs. Outcomes will be evaluated using proposed measurable criteria. A clear strategy for communicating the plan to colleagues and community members in an ethical and inclusive way is also required.
This document discusses evidence-based public health (EBPH). It defines EBPH as the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective programs and policies through applying scientific reasoning principles. The key steps of EBPH include quantifying the public health issue, conducting a literature review, developing and prioritizing program options, creating an action plan, and evaluating programs and policies. EBPH relies on diverse sources of evidence, both quantitative and qualitative research. It differs from evidence-based medicine in its focus on populations rather than individuals and emphasis on environmental and social factors.

The Informationist: Pushing the BoundariesElaine Martin
Library Director Elaine Martin of UMass Medical School's Lamar Soutter Library described the core competencies, roles, and new professional identity directions informationists are taking in the medical research field. She highlights opportunities for informationists, an emerging role in medical libraries today.
This document outlines the development of a research data management curriculum. It describes a 4 phase process: 1) Planning, 2) Content Development, 3) Piloting, and 4) Evaluation. During the planning phase, needs were assessed through student and faculty interviews. In phase 2, modules and teaching cases were created covering topics such as data types, storage, and sharing. The curriculum was piloted in 2013 and train-the-trainer sessions were held. Evaluation focuses on ensuring the content remains useful across different teaching contexts. The goal is to educate researchers and librarians on best practices for managing research data.
The document outlines Elaine Martin's plan to redefine the health sciences librarianship model through the Lamar Soutter Library Fellows Program. The 2-year program provides hands-on training, professional development, and research experience. It involves customer support, training modules, and a research project. Martin establishes 3 task forces to develop a new reference model, curriculum for the fellows, and potential research projects. The goal is to prepare fellows for evolving roles through meaningful real-world experiences and contributions to the library.
The Four R's: The Future of the LibraryElaine Martin
The document outlines a plan for the Lamar Soutter Library to address budget cuts through a process of rejecting old models, rethinking librarianship, and redoing staffing and services. It proposes transitioning from a model relying on support staff to an all-professional staff. This involves laying off support staff, hiring recent MLS graduates as fellows, implementing a new appointment-based reference model, and increasing librarian participation in areas like research and education. The goal is to rejuvenate the library by focusing resources on mission critical activities and creating opportunities for professional growth.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Phosphorus, is intensely sensitive to ‘other worlds’ and lacks the personal boundaries at every level. A Phosphorus personality is susceptible to all external impressions; light, sound, odour, touch, electrical changes, etc. Just like a match, he is easily excitable, anxious, fears being alone at twilight, ghosts, about future. Desires sympathy and has the tendency to kiss everyone who comes near him. An insane person with the exaggerated idea of one’s own importance.

Editor's Notes
Background: review of public health departments – meet with them to determine and justify interest. The next 7 slides illustrate what we learned. For example, we looked at previous needs assessments in relationship to the literature review.
Seven reasons to be involved in “information needs assessment.” An information needs assessment enables: Better understanding of mission critical roles leads to improved business models (or adjustments)
Background Issues related to Information Gathering. Validates LaPelle article.

Council on Linkages “Core Competencies” were reviewed in relationship to the project; for compliance and access.
Sincepublic health departmentslack access to a library, the project is providing partnerpublic health departments with freeaccess toselected licensed databases, electronic books, and full-text journal articlesthat would otherwise be unavailable to them due to the high cost of subscriptions.Through the project, we hope to gain a better understanding about the usefulness of providing PHDs with access toinformation resourcesidentify what resources: are needed and would be of the most value and affordable to PHDs[Introduce & provide technology for information management ]EndNote software to save, store, and manage information.
Specific objectives…Evaluation based on logic model
Partners libraries provide document delivery services to each health departmentTheir services are reimbursed by the project
The licensed resources (databases, e-books& specific journal titles) are made available through a Digital Library at each health department.This page – only available to staff at the Maine Center for Disease Control and PreventionResources available through IP addressing on each DPH’s website
The Oversight person is fairly high in the organization for buy-in purposes and to “lobby” on behalf of the project.The IT contact needs to understand the project, the time it will take to make it happen, and to be aware of why these resources are important. This contact will assist with getting the “digital library” in place, testing the links, and communication with project manager on difficulties when encountered.
Connecticut will be the newest PHD added in April/May.Potential users are based on the numbers provided by the lead team. Those in red have been modified to accommodate special situations. MPHD owns 3 hospitals, a prison, food services, and other various businesses; thus we expect somewhere around 1500 to uses promoted resources. Note: We know that BPHC has low statistics; 7/8 people attended the training sessions, and use of resources is low. Basing the number on 33/35 potential users is realistic for actual users of resources. Note: Public health workers include a mix of infectious and chronic disease professionals, nurses, social workers, child & maternal health programs, lab professionals, statisticians, community assessment and environmental professionals.

We held 14 sessions accomodating 184 people; Hathy also did a 1 hour session for the Vermont Division Directors; and 23 attended – for a total of 207.
One unexpected outcome was the number of journals wished for (# on individual wishlists).In Colorado (CDPHE) = 253; in Maine = 140; RI said all of Elsevier and Science Direct Journals (otherwise 25)
Although there were several unexpected outcomes, one of the more sensitive was the ability for the people responding to add comments to what resources they wanted.
* Those receiving the Vermont Journal SurveyMonkey were asked to only complete the survey if they were users of library resources (we expect there are about 100). The purpose of this survey was to find out how many subscriptions were located in PHDs, who was paying for these resources (personal or departmental), and what titles were on their “journal” wish list. This survey was prototyped and tested at the Maine CDC. Only one PHD hasn’t completed the Journal SurveyMonkey – MPHD.
This type of information was reviewed in the training session.
In Maine, article delivery is supplied first by Maine Medical Center; books requested for loan go through the Maine State Library.
These examples are from CDPHE (158)and HN 27; Maine=76;
Tied to specific “intranet” page.
