Did team members in your practice have to have any hard conversations this year? Maybe about dress code or drug testing? Did that new PTO policy work? Were there uncomfortable topics with patients? Tiff and Dana give advice on how to go about updating your handbook as 2024 comes to an end, so you can be more ready than ever when 2025 begins. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Join Dental A-Team Consulting Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:01.422) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are so excited to be here with you today. I have Dana. You guys know I love podcasting with Dana. She's my girl. Dana, thank you so much for being here with me. know we have, it's Friday, and so we're super excited about that. We have fun things in our lives coming up and we have so many podcasts to get recorded today for all of these people and I'm so excited because it means I get extra time with you. Dana, how are you today?   Dana (00:27.746) Doing good, doing good. I'm just as excited to be here. I love this time too.   The Dental A Team (00:32.202) Awesome. Awesome. And we just sprung on you guys, only asked for your permission, but we sprung on you a little meetup for the consultants here in a few weeks. And I am so excited. You guys, you listeners, I know you guys know we are all kind of like super close by. Some of us are further away in other states, but we're a fully remote company. And so we don't get to see each other a lot. And so the culture that we're able to build with our company, in my opinion, is freaking incredible because we're rarely ever   together but we are going to do a consultant meetup in a couple of weeks and we do a Live To Give every single year where Dental A Team just kind of goes back to the the communities as best we can and we do angel tree shopping or one year we dropped off coats for   homeless shelters and women's shelters and kids shelters and all these different things. We just really love to give back and so we do a live to give shopping spree basically. So in a couple weeks Dana, I'm so excited. You're gonna be here. Kristy's gonna be here. Britt is here already, but I actually will see her. Kiera's flying in. It's gonna be such a huge event and I'm just so excited to get some time to crunch some things, figure some things out for the future for us.   and do the Live To Give and get some shopping done for some kiddos. anyways, how excited are you for it though? We sprung that on you like yesterday.   Dana (01:57.814) You did. I'm truly so pumped. Anytime I can, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, get time with my consultant crew. It's some of my favorite time and they're some of my favorite people. So I would have moved heaven and earth to make that work.   The Dental A Team (02:14.302) No, thank you. I agree. It's so much fun getting all of us together and   Just getting some fun out there and getting some brainstorming. I feel like we brainstorm the best when we're side by side and I'm excited for it. Well, on that note, it's kind of our end of year wrap up is what our meeting is about. Like what is next you're going to look like and part of those this is HR Britt is what I like to call her. in our company, she handles our HR pieces and part of what I want to talk to you guys about today is really the employee manual and towards the end of the year making sure that it's wrapped up and ready to   Dana (02:28.972) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (02:50.132) to go for next year. So Dana, you had some really great ideas, you always do, on updating the employee manual and where to go about those things. And one caveat I have, number one, I love talking about companies like CEDR.   They're fantastic. C-E-D-R, you guys. If you need an employee manual, if you don't know what needs to be in there, like we have options, we have ideas, we can definitely help you through with that. But CEDR does a really great job at pulling all of your state's laws, all of those little pieces that we don't necessarily always know you might not know. So I'll always say that. Reach out to CEDR if you use them or if you need one from scratch. Updates wise, same thing. Like what does CEDR have for your state? Right now towards the end of the   year, we pretty much know what the new laws are going to be coming into effect for the next year, this next year, I know what year you're listening to this in right now. But this next year is 2025. So most of those state laws have already been passed or any federal changes or laws to employee sanctions and different pieces have already been passed. So they're already there, you just got to find them. And you've got to make sure that they're all encompassing that you've grabbed all of them. So CEDR does that for you any employment lawyer,   Most of the lawyers you guys retain for most of your business pieces can usually snag that information for you too. So just double check. know, states like California and New York have really strict employee policies, so you just want to make sure you're always on part of there. So that's like the first layer of updates for me and the easiest space to really tackle and hit. But Dana, I loved your idea and really like looking back on the year to project for the future. Will you walk us through kind of   your thoughts on that and what you used to do when you were in practice.   Dana (04:37.142) Yeah, sure. I think the end of the year is a great time to just kind of reevaluate. Did I have everything in my handbook or did situations come up throughout the year that man, I really wish I had had something in writing for that. So, you know, I had a couple instances and practices this year where like they had to like have some hard conversations around like drugs or dress code, right? And they didn't have those things defined or they didn't really know what to do because it's like, well, can I ask them to take a test? Can I ask them to wear something specific because I don't have it   in writing. So if you happen to have to have some of those hard conversations or make some uncomfortable decisions and you don't have it in writing, now is the great time as you are updating for laws or you're getting your handbook in place to begin with. Just considering throughout this year, was there anything? Did my PTO policy work? Did raises come up at times I wasn't expecting them? So maybe I put in my handbook like when I evaluate for raises or that raises are based on performance or that I follow a tier raise structure.   The Dental A Team (05:26.414) I'm stop.   Dana (05:37.664) you know, maybe we had some team members who they asked for some last-minute PTO, so like maybe we need to get in writing a little bit stronger of what the process is for getting it approved and what kind of notice they need to give. So just looking back through the year and did anything happen that man I wish I had had something in writing or this was uncomfortable because I didn't.   The Dental A Team (06:00.686) think that's fantastic, I love that whole structure there. I love that you pointed out like drug policies, things like that. Those are things I think we forget to think about often times when we initially make it because...   I mean, we're all here with the mindset that people are naturally good human beings and that things are, which not to say that they're not naturally good human beings, but sometimes what we feel like is intuitive or known or like just natural thought process just isn't the case. And we find that in literally every aspect of life. So not forgetting that when it comes to the employee manual is true as well. And making sure I think Dana, as you're talking, I'm thinking like getting so granular with it that it can't be confused or misconstrued.   that it's insanely clear that from the smallest level possible and the biggest level possible, we can understand this entire makeup of whatever this rule or whatever you want to call it is.   It made me think too about smoking breaks and where are they allowed to indulge in a cigarette if that's something that you may have a team member on your team who does that or vapes or these are all the real things. These are all common factors of everyday life. Where are those things able to be handled, be done? I know for me, my practice I worked out for years, we had that it could not be on the premises at all because we didn't want patients walking into it.   advocate it for our patients for their health and their overall you know teeth so we had to make sure that they weren't walking into it and they weren't seeing any team members who may be on the team that did partake in those so it had to be off-site completely on their lunch breaks or what have you so I think though that's something that we tend to miss until like you said we get to the situation and we're like great awesome I actually don't have something for this so carry on and we'll fix this later making sure though I   The Dental A Team (07:56.116) think too, we're having those conversations with those people. Because I can say that maybe, you know, when updates come around, and they're like, pointed, right? And then you're sitting there like, is that because of me? Did that? You don't want to make your team members feel like you're attacking them or a situation either. So I think making sure to have those conversations with them like, hey, we know that this happened. We know that this was a situation. It wasn't something I was prepped to handle. We handled it together and we did our best. We handled it beautifully.   Moving forward just so you know, there will be a policy in place for it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. It was obviously something that I had not known I needed to put into place, but I'm really glad that it was you and we could have this conversation and get through this. I think it's better, and Dana correct me if you think I'm wrong, then like, guess what? It kind of feels underhanded, like slighted, and that's just that space of not having the ability to have what might be deemed as a difficult   conversation and it doesn't have to be difficult. Dana, how do you feel that you advise your clients because you do have a ton of clients and it is time to update those employee manuals and you just said you know you had a couple of these things come up for some of your clients this year. How did you handle that? How did you have them handle those situations as they arose and how are they going to put those into place next year?   Dana (09:17.038) Yeah, and it did come down to just like a hard conversation and hey, I don't have anything in writing and we're navigating this fresh and new together. And I'm going to set some expectations on the spot.   and you know we're going to come to an agreement and how we're going to handle this and what solutions we're going to come to and then I'm going to make sure that I have it in writing because having it in writing doesn't mean we don't have the conversation just like you said it just makes the structure of the conversation a little bit easier and there are written out measures that you can default to so I love how you said like just go ahead and have the conversation anyway it's much more awkward than just like here it is and everybody kind of knows so it is just we got to admit we don't have anything in writing we really   are going to handle it together. It is a new thing. We're just going to communicate and we're going to get through it and move on from it and make sure we've got it documented so that if that ever happens again there is that structure put in place.   The Dental A Team (10:10.092) So how did those conversations go for your clients that you worked with? one you mentioned is a pretty, that's a pretty strong policy to have to put into place. And I do understand like there are some, you know, recreational things that are out there that have been passed as laws for that it's okay for a lot of the state. So it makes it kind of difficult to navigate those pieces, but it's still considered a drug. But how did that, how did those conversations go for those clients?   Dana (10:16.238) you   Dana (10:37.154) They went well. think that they were just open and honest and that the bottom line is I have to protect my patients and I have to make sure that things that happen on the premises don't affect the way that we care for patients, the way that we speak to patients, the way that we handle patients. At the end of the day, that's what I have to protect. So these are the things that we're gonna put in place. We're going to make sure that those things don't happen again and we're gonna move forward. But at the end of the day, we're gonna protect the practice and the patients that sit in our chairs.   The Dental A Team (10:42.507) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (11:02.87) Awesome. that. I love that. And I think that's a space too, where we have to not only protect our patients, but we're protecting each other and our business too. Because if you guys don't, if you guys don't put these policies in place and protect your business, where are your patients going to go? And if we're not protecting our team, meaning, you know, we can't, we can't deviate from what is considered acceptable for someone. It's got to be fair across the board. It's got to be the same structure for everyone. Because if someone gets that special treatment, the rest of   the team feel slighted or confused and then guess what is really really hard to hold accountability in any other aspect. So I really want to switch a little bit, continue this conversation but within that really talk about how important it is to make sure that we're sticking to the standards and upholding the standards that we set into place and set into motion. And from a leadership standpoint doctors, practice owners, you guys are the ones that need to make sure that this is a hundred percent accurate. Your office manager   or business administrators may be putting this together for you. They may be communicating with CEDR or your lawyers or whomever, but you guys need to make sure that it's accurate. And then from there, from a leadership standpoint, you, your leadership team, your whole team really needs to be abiding by these. I think the spaces that I see the most frequently misused, like you said Dana, was like the PTO situation or vacation time that's not paid, unpaid vacation time, sick leave, getting   to use the benefits or getting paid out the benefits at the end of the year or not. One thing that I saw a lot of clients come up against is expectations of payout when they were let go, when a team member was let go or when they quit, they didn't have it explicitly written at termination. You know, they said at termination you would be paid out, but they didn't have it explicitly written that it was if you decided to leave, I'm not paying you out, but if I decide you're leaving, I will pay it out. And so they ended up having to pay it out.   out. But from that leadership standpoint, Dana really like pushing on them to understand we've all got to follow the same rules. And this means your office manager too. And if we have different structures laid out by different positions, that is totally fine. But that needs to be clearly defined as well. I think one of the worst things we can do from a leadership standpoint is put a leader on a pedestal, make them completely different from the rest of the team. They are   The Dental A Team (13:32.23) in many ways, but make it so different that they're looked at as though they're untouchable. That there's no accountability being held in place, that they get to free for all, do whatever they want, but the team over here has to abide by these rules in this employee manual and they're like told they can't have time off and you don't even know when your manager's off. Like those pieces I think can really ruffle the team. Dana, what do you suggest to your clients as they're, because I know like I said you're building these out right now, but what are   you suggesting for your clients in respect to that? How do they go about that? And what do you think about all of that?   Dana (14:11.66) Yeah, I completely agree with you. think that there are some instances where leadership is different when I think it comes down to like policies and like procedures for team members and it's it's team members across the board, including leadership. And I think that like having your office manager your leadership team like also   live that and roll that and be active participants in this is exactly what I follow and these are the standards that I hold for myself and these are the policies that you know I'm going to also abide by I think is really super beneficial.   The Dental A Team (14:45.027) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (14:48.398) Yeah, I agree. I agree and making sure I think that they discuss those and they have conversations around them too. Wherever you guys note that people are going to be out, make sure everybody is noted on that same schedule that everything looks the same. Like Dana, like you said, doesn't have to be everyone's clear cut gets the same because I know tenure, I know based on, you know, your position in the practice, especially PTO, things like that might be different, but you want it to be across the   board as similarly spoken as we can get.   One huge note for practice owners, business managers, all of you guys, things like that, PTO, amount of PTO that we get, payroll, our pay, bonuses, payouts, anything like that needs to be a no-go. We do suggest that this is in your employee manual, that there's no discussions around what I make. I should not be talking to Dana in a practice about, as my position, this is what I make.   my bonus looks like. I actually had a practice recently. The whole hygiene department is turned upside down right now because we had an issue where this was discussed and   We worked really hard to make it hygienist very happy and meet all of the needs and requirements that were asked for that went above and beyond as not by a lot, but above and beyond where some other team members may have been in an effort to keep this person on staff. We know how difficult it is right now to find team members, but especially hygienists and that information was asked to be.   The Dental A Team (16:37.474) been kept quiet, it was not kept quiet and there's an entire team very upset, understandably, and now a doctor who's, you know, overhead is about to be pretty upside down for the next couple of months due to the fact. So I want to make it really clear and the team members that are listening, I don't say that so that you guys are slighted, so that you guys don't know what's going on, so you guys don't have the information. I say it because I truly feel with everything that I have, I always have   believed this and I believe this about myself. If you are worth more than what you're paying, what you're paid, you believe you are worth more than what you are paid, you need to advocate for that and you need to not expect other people to just show you how they feel you should be paid. Like they, a lot of us, think, I don't know how to say this, a lot of us feel as though our worth is shown to us by other people based off what they think we should be paid.   That's not always the case. My worth is from inside. My worth is what I think I am worthy of, what I think I can do, how I can show up. I want team members to understand that. I want team members to understand that it's not always equal and fair. Tenure makes a huge difference. The amount of time that you've been in the industry, how long you've been doing the specific position that you've been doing, what do you add to the bottom line of the practice for that position?   to add more value, ask how you can. Those are really great ways to be compensated more, to be shown your worth and your value in compensation. But on the flip side of that, as business owners and doctors and leaders, we need to make sure that it's very clear that those things are kept under wraps because it just makes really good employees feel really bad sometimes. So make sure things like that are in there. You know, just spitballing things, Dana and I have seen this here.   and making sure you guys are set. So I think the biggest piece is Dana, I loved your like take a look backwards on the year of what has happened, what's popped up, what's spiked that you think needs attention or you didn't have a policy and you wished you did. I love that. Making sure you communicate with somebody about the laws of your area. So whether it's CEDR, whether it's an employee, an employment lawyer or your lawyer that you have.   The Dental A Team (19:02.014) deemed as your practice. Again, there's states that are heavier in employee laws than other states. If you're in a heavy state, you typically know that. Please be careful. Please make sure you follow all of the guidelines. I implore that upon you. Dana and I live, luckily for us, it's very easy or it was very easy when we were in practice to do these and it didn't take much from CDER to like update the employee manuals because it was very easy, but I know there are some states, especially on each of our borders there.   that are a little tighter around that coastline. So state updates and laws, holidays, PTO, etc. Anything weird that you've come up against that you were like, this is so weird and I didn't even think about this. I don't want you to...   think about everything. I don't want you to think that it's going to happen every single year, you're going to have something new. So write it down, brainstorm it and have a space, would say, Dana, you'll probably do this too. Have a space in your active drive where it's like, hey, these are things I'm going to update next year. Last piece, I will say, have everyone sign an employee update every year, whether you do updates or not. The employee manual should be gone through. It should be something that's just like open and honest, spoken about all the time so that there's no questions. know you still have   I always get confused about my PTO when I was in practice. like, I don't know how many years I've been here. I don't know how much I have. My manager was like, I don't know why this is so hard. And I was like, I don't know.   This is where we're at. So I think just talking about it constantly, making sure everybody understands it and making those updates and then making those changes solid with a good signature is always best. Dana, I love that idea. I love that you had some talking points today. Those were fantastic. Thank you so much for this. guys, Dana's going to help me with an operations manual update one as well. We know she's my ops queen. So Dana, thank you so much and I hope you...   The Dental A Team (20:53.674) enjoy recording the rest of the podcasts with me today. Awesome. Thank you guys so much, and we'll catch you next time.

Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello and welcome to the Leading Difference Podcast. I'm your host Lindsay, and I am excited to introduce you to my guest today, Shannon Clark. Shannon is founder and principal of UserWise, a consultancy that helps medical device manufacturers and startups to design safe and easy to use medical devices. Before founding UserWise in 2014, Shannon was a human factors engineer at Intuitive Surgical and Abbott Laboratories. Shannon graduated from UCLA with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a technical breadth in technology management. Shannon is additionally a certified professional industrial engineer, holds two patents and has written and published three books. Clearly an absolute rockstar, thank you so much for being here, Shannon. Shannon Clark: Yeah, thanks for having me. Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I would love, if you don't mind just sharing a little bit about your background and maybe how you got to where you are. I know, you've gotten to do some really amazing things. You have an amazing company. I would just love to hear a little bit of that backstory. Shannon Clark: How far back should we go? I think it's interesting that on my application to USC, I ended up going to UCLA, but I did apply and get into USC, just for the record, and on my application. I said that my dream job, I was 17 years old, would be to run a product design firm in Spain. It's pretty interesting that I kind of ended up there and I kind of had that idea so early on, but I didn't really fall in love with human factors or even know about it until I was working at Abbott Laboratories and I had this unique opportunity to apprentice one of the world's leading experts in human factors named Ed Israelski. He was the Director of Human Factors for Abbott for many years, and laid all the groundwork for the international standards and it informed the FDA guidances around human factors, so it was a really unique opportunity to work for him. And from there I was able to really dive into human factors with that practical experience at Abbott. And I knew that I wanted to run my own company basically. And I think I, I finally made it there in 2014 when I saw some great opportunities to help fledgling companies out of Stanford Biodesign and Fogerty Institute for Innovation. And I started out with just myself consulting, and then from there built a practice and pretty soon it was 30 human factors engineers, recruiters, and operational staff as of 2022. Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. That is amazing. Congratulations. That's, that is no small accomplishment. That is amazing. So human factors engineering specifically wasn't necessarily, it sounds like, the first intention that you may have had going into school. So it's awesome to hear that having that experience is what sort of led you into your career path, but I'm kind of curious, were you always very technically minded, kind of interested in user experience growing up or what was, even going back a little further, what was the spark that interested you in that field in general? Shannon Clark: Well, I had actually never heard of engineering. My mom's a lawyer, my dad's an accountant. So I didn't know what engineering was going into college, and so I was gonna, study Latin or Spanish or something. But then I thought I don't really know what I'm gonna do after college if I study that. And I had an uncle who was an engineer who said, "you really should check this out." So I took some coursework and I thought I could probably do this. And to be honest, mechanical engineering was a big struggle for me, having not taken any of the AP courses. I took AP Latin, AP Music Theory, all the APs that you don't need for engineering. So I came into school pretty behind and feeling behind, but I made it through and I kind of had my eye on this goal of making user experiences easier for people. I was going back even further, I was really inspired by my uncle Peter Skillman, who's now with Phillips I think in their Design Center of Excellence. And he worked at IDO at the time and he was 35 years old and contributed to this project that was featured on 60 Minutes to redesign a shopping cart. And it was really inspiring to me at the age of 10 or seven or however old I was, to watch someone take something so mundane as a shopping cart and uncover all these issues that exist with shopping carts everywhere, and then completely rethink the design and improve it. And rewatching that video I can now kind of see with another lens that they even started on the basis of safety and designed for safety, which I believe is so important when prioritizing design efforts to think about, " well, how many injuries are there to toddlers every year in shopping carts and how can we address this and how can we make it better?" And then just a month ago, I actually had my toddler in a shopping cart and she got stuck because the seatbelt wouldn't unlatch. And then it made me think that's interesting, full circle. Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that is interesting. Oh, the irony. Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah. So designing for safety first. So I'd love to hear the evolution of you just starting this consultancy by yourself. And I mean, so you were literally doing all the things, you were marketing, you were doing the actual consulting, you were doing the accounting, I'm assuming. How did that all evolve and how did your leadership ability evolve as you've grown your business? Shannon Clark: Well, I started out with no management experience, quite young. I started out with just myself. I hired some contractors here and there in 2015 . 2016, hired my first employee and I gotta tell you, I was the worst manager. And she was like, patient zero, she's now at Intuitive Surgical. But I think overall it was a great step in her career, but good for her for getting through, I think, four years of reporting to me as I was learning to be a manager. And I think over time through trial and error, I became a better manager. That was sort of a learning experience for me. And something that people were always telling me as I was starting my company was, " you should learn on someone else's dime. Don't start a company and then learn these hard lessons on your own dime." But I'm happy that I didn't listen to them and sure there were a lot of really expensive life lessons, like the time we didn't expense $150,000 of expenses because I didn't realize that someone wasn't doing their job for four months. There's all kinds of things that happen as you're start a company. But you just have to learn from them and then embed processes to address any gaps that you uncover along the way. And so at this point, we're just such a strong company with so many internal processes and trainings and rigor, and it's really exciting to see how much it's matured over the past eight years. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Well, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you recently, in fact, had a bit of a transition even for yourself, for your role. Is that correct? Shannon Clark: Yes, we brought in a new CEO. I was able to secure significant private equity investment from a private equity firm called NaviMed. And so we're forming a new umbrella organization called ClariMed. And so that's sort of a broader quality by design thesis where we're bringing together a bunch of like-minded organizations to help support product development, specifically in the medical space. And we're starting that organization with two human factors consultancies. So it started with UserWise, my company, which was acquired in August of 2022. And then in January this year, 2023, we acquired Harvey Medical, which is a seven or eight person human factors consultancy in the UK and the Netherlands. So, that's where we're at today and I'm thrilled. I, I probably put on LinkedIn that I'm thrilled about this quote- unquote "demotion" to Principal Human Factors Engineer, 'cause previously I was Director of Human Resources, CFO, CEO, and Principal Human Factors Engineer, and it was a lot. Yeah. Let's just say I didn't get a maternity leave. But now I'm just really excited for the future and I have a CEO with 17 years experience running and growing a regulatory consultancy. So I, I'm just really excited to report to her and she's an inspiration to me every day, Kelly Kendall. Lindsey Dinneen: Awesome. That's fantastic. How has the transition been for you? Did it take a lot of transition or did it come easily? How was it for you? Shannon Clark: It's been a huge transition, cuz Kelly runs the business based on data and I think when you have investors involved, you have to really present a lot of data to them. Whereas before I didn't have to report to anyone or speak to anyone or ask anyone any questions about what I'm doing, which I think we're a lot better off now cause I'm not just making decisions as I go along. I have a, a whole support system to help me through all the decisions on a day-to-day basis. So, that's been really relaxing to share the responsibility and, and have support. But yeah, it's been a lot of work to try to come up with the data. We're trying to integrate Salesforce. We're just kind of like a small company, quickly growing, so there's a lot there to work on. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Absolutely. I'm curious, is there a particular moment that stands out to you because it kind of clearly confirmed that this was the right career path for you or the correct industry? Shannon Clark: It just immediately clicked. Back when I was working for Ed Israelski at Abbott and contributing to standards committees and submitting feedback to the FDA and draft guidances on behalf of Abbott, all of that work really created a spark within me, I'd say. And I think I would pinpoint it on one project I worked on, which was to review all recalls of medical devices by the FDA over the course of time that were due to human error. So, for example, an automated external defibrillator that was on the market, I think this was 2009, where there was a low battery indicator that would blink and falsely cause individuals to cease use of the device unnecessarily. So the idea that they were confusing this red indicator light to mean, "oh, this is broken, don't use it," versus "it's just low battery. Change the battery when you have a chance, but you could have resuscitated the patient." And I wrote this 80 page internal report. All these events that had happened and it really brought to life the importance of the then new FDA focus on human factors. And the fact that you need to really intentionally bake safety into the design of products from the get-go. It's not something you can just add on post-market or even figure out through human factors validation at the end of the process. It's something that you need to think about constantly throughout design, and again, prioritize those design efforts according to risk and safety and according to patient harm and user harm so that you can, at the end, have a product that doesn't result in a recall like that. So when I saw all that data, it really centered my focus and brought clarity to me that this is something that I wanna do for the rest of my life, 10 years, 20 years. I don't know. I guess I wouldn't say for the rest of my life. But I really was super inspired to do something about it cuz I also read that there were half a million deaths every year due to preventable medical errors in hospitals alone, just in the United States. So we basically have a whole pandemic happening every year in hospitals. And some of that is due to medication errors and hospital processes. But that figure doesn't even capture instances where they amputated the wrong leg. I mean, these are deaths. And so I'm, I'm really dedicating my career to reducing that number of half a million to something lower. Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Yeah. That's amazing. I'm so thankful for people like you that are doing that research and like you said, safety first, building it into the design from the very get-go. That's fantastic. Yeah. Shannon Clark: And I love what Velentium's doing with regards to cybersecurity. I think that definitely follows the same kind of premise of protecting users and ensuring safety. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. There is so much that goes into it. So any angles that we can take to help protect people is absolutely worth it. So, how would you define leadership or what does leadership mean to you? Shannon Clark: I think leadership to me is inspiring others to be their best selves and fulfill their own missions, whatever it may be. So sometimes I can spark someone to be inspired to follow my footsteps and become a human factors engineer. Or maybe someone wants to pursue something a little bit different and just letting them uncover their own truths and pursue their dreams. That's probably the main thing I ask in interviews, " what is your dream job?" Because I wanna make sure that you're in your dream job, whatever that may be. So I guess that's what leadership means to me. Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Yeah, absolutely. And then what would be your best piece of advice for someone interested in obtaining a leadership role, either within the medtech industry, or very specifically following a similar career path to what you've done? What would you say to someone who that's a goal of theirs? Shannon Clark: Well, my specific path, I believe, can in fact be replicated, in that, I saw an opportunity to uniquely become an expert in a field that was emergent. And there's many emerging fields that result from regulatory shifts. And in this case, UserWise, came out of the 2011 draft guidance about human factors issued by the Food and Drug Administration that was later published as final in 2016. And so there from my position at Abbott in 2010, 2011, I was able to see that coming down the pike and I saw the huge amount of opportunity at hand, and I saw where industry was and where it would be going. And out of that, I was able to found my consultancy. So I worked tirelessly to transform myself into an expert, not only by working 12 hour days at Abbott and giving them everything I had, but also reading all the textbooks on the syllabus for human factors master's degrees at various universities and had a stack of 20 books that I was working through. So it was all sort of self-taught, but ultimately I saw this opportunity due to a shifting regulatory landscape and things like that happen all the time in all industries. And there's all these opportunities that exist that are just a great opportunity to create a new business around it whether it's consulting or software as a service. Yeah, tons of opportunities out there. Lindsey Dinneen: So sort of being open to maybe opportunities that you wouldn't have originally pinpointed for yourself, but being aware of various trends and kind of responding to the situation. Is that part of it? Shannon Clark: Yeah. I mean, ultimately, I guess I'd describe my business model, if it were to be replicated, if you wanted to have success in this manner is to uncover regulatory trends and then find an opportunity, a business opportunity within that. But I guess more generally, if you're looking for a leadership position in the medtech field, I think that expertise certainly is highly valued. And engineering abilities is also highly valued. So, I think you need to go deep before you go broad. I think I do see a lot of like marketing experts, that maybe haven't gone scientifically deep, end up as CEOs of these companies, but I think the best background of all the CEOs that I work with, I always enjoy working with CEOs that have a technical background cuz they can truly understand the ins and outs. And I, I see limitations among some of these CEOs that maybe just have sales backgrounds. Lindsey Dinneen: Sure. Yeah, that, that makes a lot of sense to me. I can understand that. Shannon Clark: I think I'm talking to a salesperson right now, so I hope I haven't offended you. Lindsey Dinneen: Not at all. I am more on the marketing engagement side of things, but I wouldn't be offended regardless, because you're right, you need both to be successful. So, absolutely. Shannon Clark: Go deep first and then go broad. That's kind of the advice that was given to me as well and I followed that advice. Lindsey Dinneen: I like it. I like that a lot. Yeah. Well, so I know from your bio that you are a published author three times. Right? I would love to hear about that and what have you written about and how did that all come about? Shannon Clark: Well, nothing too impressive, and it's quite off topic, but I really enjoy history. So I authored a history of a local neighborhood, which is actually where UserWise is located in San Jose. And so I wrote this 150 page history book and we sold I think 3000 copies. And all the funding went to fund local farmer's markets as well as ultimately the annual 4th of July parade for San Jose. So I wrote that book and then wrote a follow on, a sequel about parades in the Bay Area, California. Have you ever heard of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses? Lindsey Dinneen: I have. Shannon Clark: So, we used to have one of those in Northern California. There's a whole Northern California, Southern California rivalry. That was huge when I went to UCLA. But we used to have our parade and our parade died out with the Great Depression, and we tried to resurrect it in 1960, but it didn't work out. So it was just kind of an interesting forgotten history that I wanted to capture in a book before it got lost forever. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That is awesome. Very cool. Shannon Clark: And then the third book is how to get a job in management consulting. It's called "College2Consulting." It's a silly book, but I think it's pretty helpful if you wanna get a job at LEK or some management consultancy. I didn't come up with all the material for that, but I was the ghost writer. Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, so cool. That's awesome. So what are some interesting industry trends that you are looking forward to as you continue on with UserWise and beyond? Shannon Clark: I guess when I think of industry trends, I immediately think of what's happening with Europe, with MDR, and where's the FDA headed specifically with regards to human factors cuz that's ultimately what's gonna guide where UserWise is going next. With the FDA, there's been a lot of turnover with their human factors review team over the past five years, and it's created a shift towards requiring more and more. I think that's always the story with regulations where before maybe we didn't submit a full 60 page human factors engineering submission report for a lower risk device and just submit a protocol. These days they're just rejecting a protocol if there's no full backup for all the elements found in a human factors engineering submission report. So I think overall, I guess as always there's just more and more regulations. I do hope to make some progress. I'm headed to the International Standards Committee later this month in Germany, and I hope that I can kind of start socializing some ideas around reducing the burden from an international standards standpoint for human factors. So, I guess another industry trend that's a little more specific is that we just finished our multi-year study on training decay, whereas in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration. And to date for combination products, so drug delivery devices, you're basically required to conduct human factors testing with untrained users. And it's created a context where there's some drug delivery devices where if they were pure medical devices, they would easily get clearance. But since they're a combination product, they have a drug, they're reviewed by DMEPA, CDER, a different human factors team. They're just unapprovable because untrained users are not capable of using them successfully. So I'm hopeful that with our research, we can further promote the concept of trained usability testing and invite more devices to the table instead of requiring perfect use for combination products. That's a hope of mine. But again, with more and more regulations we'll see if that comes to fruition. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, of course. Yeah, that sounds like a really good path forward. So it'll be interesting to see, like you said, how the landscape changes over time. So how do you prioritize your own continued learning and growing as a leader these days? I know you mentioned having stacks of textbooks, which I love, but nowadays, how do you continue to develop your own skills and knowledge? Shannon Clark: Well, I think I mentioned earlier that I am thrilled to report to Kelly Kendall, CEO of our company. And so I learned from her every week by watching the way she runs the company, the way she makes decisions. I've just learned a ton. It's been drinking through a fire hose with regards to key performance indicators and everything to do with running a business in a more formal manner. Cuz I ran my business based purely on intuition and not really on data. And when you really get a grasp of all the data associated with a business, like she says, it's about turning knobs up and down and adjusting and fine tuning once you know what the knobs are. And so, I feel like myself professionally, I've grown so much just having a mentor continuously working with me. I have in the past had executive coaching, but that, that, pales in comparison to what I'm now able to experience having a seasoned and experienced CEO to report to. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, and it's completely a hundred percent relevant to you and your business, which is awesome that you get that experience. Very cool. Okay, so just for fun, imagine that someone were to offer you a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, doesn't have to be in your industry. What would you choose to teach and why? Shannon Clark: Well, I think the answer that I might be supposed to say is moderating. So I have a lot of experience moderating usability testing and minimizing bias for participants so that you can extract truth. So basically, as a moderator, you don't wanna get in the way of the truth of what a participant is experiencing or feeling or demonstrating through their interaction with a product. So we just launched a moderator course, which I'm really excited about. But I guess after having done all that work for the past months to launch that course, I need a break. So if I could teach a masterclass, I guess it would be on the history of the Maya, which right now I'm trying to learn Mayan hieroglyphs. And I have an interest in archeology. And to be honest, I know nothing about the Maya, but maybe I have a kind of a crazy overconfidence going on where I feel that I wanna learn everything about it. And I, I feel like I've done this in a couple of areas of my life where I'll learn everything about a subject and then kind of become like an expert. And so that's kinda my next side hobby. I have some ideas there about what I'm gonna do. Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that's awesome. So what sparked your interest specifically in that? Shannon Clark: I think in part it's because I've been to Mexico a number of times. I speak Spanish. And then I have an aunt who's Mayan who was involved in kind of raising me at an early age. So, that definitely sparked my interest. And then I've been honestly, like watching a lot of TV about Ancient Apocalypse and all those shows. I don't know if you've seen them, but I was just like, oh yeah, this is so cool. Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Yes. Isn't it great to have something outside of your main, day-to-day job life focus that just kind of brings you this other level of passion and joy-- I'll just put it, put it that way. Shannon Clark: Yeah. This is certainly, it really stems out of being able to share the burden of running a company with others namely my boss Kelly, and it opens up my time to actually think about other things. And that has been a focus for me since the transaction in August. It's something I'm excited about just to have some extra hours in my week to think about things that aren't related to work. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's fantastic. So what is the one thing you wish to be remembered for after you leave this world? Shannon Clark: I guess being a good mom and that's really all I care about. I have one daughter, her name is Emily, and she is 22 months old. And she's great. So that's definitely my focus to be a great mom. And it'd be cool to be remembered as a good contributor to the industry of human factors, but I think more importantly, I wanna be a good mom. Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Aww. Oh my gosh. I love it. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? Shannon Clark: Well, my daughter Emily, obviously, lemme try to come up with a different answer. Lindsey Dinneen: Ok, it's a great answer though. Shannon Clark: Yeah, that's gotta be my answer, sorry. Lindsey Dinneen: No, that's fantastic. Well, I just want to say thank you so much for sharing a little bit about your background, about your company, about the industry, where you think things are going, and your advice. I just really appreciate your time today, and I love hearing the why behind how you got into this and what makes you tick. So, thank you. And plus, it's really fun to hear about your hobbies outside of work too. And Emily, and course Emily. So, we are honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to the Equal Justice Initiative, which provides legal representation to prisoners who may have been wrongly convicted of crimes, poor prisoners without effective representation, and others who may have been denied a fair trial.

Episode 7 – LuttJeg heter Astrid Kirschner, og dette er en ny episode av min podkast BAROKKPODDEN! I dagens episode skal jeg fortsette å prate om nerdete temaer fra barokken, og jeg har med meg to spennende gjester: Lars Tørresen, luttmaker i Bergen og luttenist Jadran Duncumb.Vi har en svært interessant og hyggelig prat om luttens historie, om renessanse- og barokklutter, om John Dowland og Silvius Leopold Weiss, om lutt-tabulatur fra Italia, Tyskland, Spania og Frankrike og mye mer.Luttmaker Lars Tørressen er utdannet arkitekt fra NTNU og lærte luttbygging på Birkagården Folkhøgskola i Sverige og av Tom H. Pettersen i Oslo. Lars har samlet seg kunnskap om klang, repertoar og spilleteknikk fra kurs i luttspill med J.Lindberg, H. Smith og R. Lislevand. Instrumentene lages for å imøtekomme profesjonelle musikeres krav og behov. Studier av originalinstrumenter i Europa og oppmåling ved Ringve Museum er en viktig kunnskapskilde. Instrumentene lages av gammelt treverk lagret opp mot 40 år. Siden 2017 er instrumentbygging hovedvirksomhet.Norsk-engelsk-kroatiske Jadran Duncumb er en av Europas ledende luttenister i dag. Han kombinerer en aktiv karriere som solist og kammermusiker på tidlige instrumenter, som har ført ham til konsertsaler som Wigmore Hall i London og Wiener Konzerthaus, med undervisning som førsteamanuensis i lutt ved Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado i Milano. Han er fast medlem av Barokkanerne – Norwegian Baroque Ensemble (som han også leder iblant), Repicco med Kinga Ujszaszi, Musica Alchemica med Lina Tur Bonet, Ensemble Diderot, og i duoer med Giulia Semenzato, Emil Duncumb og André Lislevand. Jadran har utgitt en rekke solo CDer på det franske plateselskapet Audax Records. Den siste, første volum av Bachs luttverker, ble tildelt den prestisjerike franske prisen Diapason D'Or. Fremtidige slipp inkluderer andre volum av Bach, et duoprogram med sopranen Giulia Semenzato på romantisk gitar for Alpha Classics, og det nyeste samarbeidet for Arcana med André Lislevand og Emil Duncumb, med musikk av Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1747–1788) og Carl Friedrich Abel (1723–1787). Denne gangen er det mine to gjester som har laget en fin og fyldig spilleliste for dere til dagens episode nr.7 - LUTT, den ligger allerede ute på Spotify og venter på dere, der kan dere lytte Lars' og Jadrans favorittmusikk for lutt.Søk den opp og kos deg med musikken!Dette er linken til spillelisten til denne episoden om LUTT:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dtoObGxsxIoi114JsusUg?si=209c40a8c60c461e&pt=95beca30ca63b3eb2027912b9a57b614(Denne linken virker kun innenfor Spotify!

Highlights From Today's Episode “Full approval through the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and FDA means that those drugs have gone through the laboratory testing, human clinical trial testing, and very extensive clinical trials to make sure that they are effective and that the benefits of those drugs outweigh the risks.” TS 02:28 “In 1992, CDER established a new program that would help these drugs get expedited, particularly in life-threatening or serious diseases like cancer. So they established an accelerated approval pathway for these promising therapies. They were hoping to shorten that period of time, and a number of our cancer-fighting drugs have come onto the market through this accelerated approval pathway.” TS 04:29 “When a drug gets an FDA approval, whether it be accelerated or final, then typically they get approved for one, possibly two indications on that first approval. But there are clinical trials ongoing in other diseases and in other indications. So we will then see drugs—after those clinical trials are conducted—taken to CDER for approval for that new indication.” TS 24:02 “The exciting thing for our patients is that new indications often treat more advanced cancers in which you discover a biomarker and could give patients potential treatment options when other options may have been exhausted.” TS 27:43 “It's incumbent on us as nurses to stay informed about these newly approved drugs or new indications in drugs because we're the front line in helping these patients manage adverse events. Many of these drugs are designed so patients have to stay on them for extended periods of time, or at least they get the greatest benefit by staying on it for extended periods of time. Our patient education is key in helping patients do that.” TS 34:50 “In 2023, I think we will continue to see many new drugs that are approved. We will see new indications. I think particularly we will continue to see cellular therapy agents developed—we'll see them gain new indications. I would be willing to forecast that we're going to see more and more of specific immunomodulatory drugs or those antibody drug conjugates—all of those drugs that are designed to treat the cancer in a couple of different ways.” TS 37:29

In April 2022, FDA issued new draft guidance on Diversity Plans to Improve Enrollment of Participants from Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in Clinical Trials. Because this guidance applies to all medical products, CDER, CBER, and CDRH all contributed, but this draft was led by Project Equity from FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE). “It is important that we be able to evaluate new therapies in the context of a diverse population that will use these medical products because the diseases for which these products are intended present in variable fashion across the population and because populations respond variably to medical products,” explains OCE Project Equity Lead Lola Fashoyin-Aje. “But we should reconsider the question regarding why diversity in clinical trials is important. Because the question really ought to be: What are we missing when trials are not diverse, when the study population in the clinical trial is not diverse? What are the missed opportunities for advancing science or advancing clinical medicine and, ultimately, for driving improvements in population outcomes?”

“There are good reasons to explore the use of artificial intelligence in pharmacovigilance. There are an increasing number of sources of drug safety information, and efficient screening, processing, or evaluation of them would benefit from accurate automated methods,” explains Gerald Dal Pan, Director, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology (OSE), CDER. “First, there's the potential application of AI to the processing of case reports. Second, there's the potential application of AI for assessing causality in a case report. Third, we're exploring the use of AI in real-world data as part of the Sentinel Initiative.”
