In a busy outpatient practice, timely access to up-to-date clinical resources is crucial to delivering evidence-based care. In the olden days, books and journal articles were the go-to method. Today, technology creates a more user-friendly method of receiving the most recent information. Say goodbye to having to order the latest edition of a book and hello to automatic updates. Our Children's Hospital Colorado antimicrobial stewardship team, clinical effectiveness and pathways teams, along with other local and state partners have partnered with Firstline, a health technology company, to design a mobile version of our infectious disease guidance. “It is another way to bring clinical decision support directly into somebody's hand if they are not sitting at a computer, which a lot of times you are not,” Leigh Anne Bakel, MD, says. A technology like this can change the future of treating patients. With new information comes new treatment choices, and this app is a way to put all of that content in the palm of a provider's hand. “It's really about judicious use, so using the right antibiotic for the right length of time but also only in the right patient and then the right dose; I think we understand overtime that antibiotics have a lot more side effects than we previously appreciated,” Sarah Parker, MD, says. Joining us to talk about this innovative technology are Drs. Sarah Parker and Leigh Anne Bakel. Dr. Parker is the Medical Director of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program here at Children's Colorado, as well as a professor of pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Bakel is the Medical Director of Clinical Effectiveness here at Children's Colorado, as well as a practicing pediatric hospitalist. She is also an associate professor of pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include: How the Firstline app works Why Firstline is beneficial for providers everywhere How Firstline will enhance rural healthcare The future of technology for treating patients For more information on how to download the app visit https://firstline.org/colorado/. Drs. Parker and Bakel would like to acknowledge the brains behind this operation.

It emphasizes the need for long-term partnerships with community organizations and the importance of addressing disparities in research representation. The dynamic tensions in various research and implementation aspects underscore the need for thoughtful and creative approaches to address complex healthcare issues effectively. Proem Image created in DALL.E I treasure the dynamic tensions in life—for example, privacy and community, pathological optimism and catastrophizing, early adopter and skeptic. While not a researcher, I am personally and professionally neck-deep in research. Yet, despite my commitment to research, I'm a skeptic. Who's it for? How can it aid decision-making? Who's included in the research question, process, analysis, and dissemination? Where are the vested interests? Do we already have evidence yet have little will to implement, or does the bureaucracy or culture impede action? I will step in and highlight some dynamic tensions as the conversation flows. What about research funding sources? What's their perspective? What are the dynamic tensions? I asked my cronies at PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute) to introduce me to a staff scientist specializing in comparative effectiveness research funding for emerging adults with mental illness.

In this episode, we will learn about an occupational therapist who utilizes equine movement & animal-assisted therapy in her OT practice. Nicole Raftis, Registered Occupational Therapist, Manager for the Pathways Ponies Occupational Therapy program, ( graduated from Queen's University's School of Rehabilitation Science's Occupational Therapy Program and is a Registered OT in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. For the first 3 years of practice Nicole traveled and worked as an OT in 7 locations throughout the U.S.A and provided volunteer OT services in Guyana, Nepal, Thailand and India, taking in knowledge about the wide variety of roles OT's play in various settings as well as culturally sensitive and environmentally appropriate ways to support clients. Upon her return to Canada, Nicole has spent the majority of her 27 years of practice in pediatrics, initially working at Vancouver's Sunny Hill Health Center for Childern, on their Brain injury program, Autism Assessment Team and their Substance exposure team. Family brought Nicole to Ottawa where she provided school care services for a few years before taking her dream job at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, on the child and adolescent mental health units, gaining experience with psychotherapy and mental health practice. It was during her time in Ottawa that she got to experience the magic of pet therapy for the first time, helping to facilitate the sessions for kids experiencing significant emotional, sensory and behavior dysregulation. Aging parents inspired another move to Guelph, ON where Nicole has been working in private practice for the last 12 years. She continues to support children and teens to reach their full potential at home and school. The pandemic presented a unique opportunity for Nicole to become involved with a physical therapist who uses Equine movement and pet therapy to assist clients to reach their goals. Nicole was invited to develop an Occupational Therapy program at the barn and she has been thrilled to be a part of this initiative, integrating her mental health, sensory, motor and pet therapy experience to create a very holistic therapy program in a beautiful outdoor setting. Nicole has recently completed her American Hippotherapy Association Level 1 course and feels this latest adventure is a testament to the excitement and versatility that has been available over a 27-year career in Occupational Therapy. Nicole also mentors a number of younger OTs and supervises students from McMaster University. Her desire to share information and resources has led her to partner with other OTs in Guelph to create TREEO Occupational Therapy, an online library of courses and resources meant to support parents, teachers and OT's looking for pediatric resources. Their online platform launched in 2021 with their first course titled “Pandemic Parenting: Meaningful Tools for Health & Hope”.

Being a doctor can be very gratifying when a life is saved or a patient is cured. However, the number of jobs and skills physicians need to master is increasing with the advancement of technology and science. This makes the medical environment increasingly stressful, also because at the moment, many IT solutions are burdensome and add the bureaucratic workload to the schedules of doctors. Today's topic is how to doctors approach and manage medication prescribing. I spoke with David W. Bates, Patient Safety Expert and Harvard MD, who is an internationally renowned expert in patient safety, using information technology to improve care, quality-of-care, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes assessment in medical practice. He is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a Professor of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he co-directs the Program in Clinical Effectiveness. He directs the Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and serves as external program lead for research in the World Health Organization's Global Alliance for Patient Safety. He has published over 700 peer-reviewed papers. We discussed: How is patient care changing and impacting medication management, Why doctors ignore alerts of decision support systems, What are healthcare IT systems missing in the UX design, What do doctors hope to see from IT in the near future, And how should organisations approach patient safety culture improvements?

Health care leaders are rightfully focused on solving immediate supply chain issues—like shoring up enough PPE and supplies to keep up with testing and begin restarting elective procedures. While the near term focus on supply chain is focused on operations—the long term outlook for supply chain is about to get far more strategic in nature. This episode addresses how Covid-19 could fundamentally change a provider’s approach to supply chain moving forward.

They say that civilization advances by extending the number of important things we can do without thinking about them. To me, that's the promise of technology and it's particularly true when it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Still, not everyone sees it that way. Some worry that they'll be replaced. Others take offense to the fact that they're seen as replaceable. But just like the rise of ATMs led to an INCREASE in the number of bank tellers, we'll see AI drive unpredictable, and generally positive change in the healthcare industry. Some will be displaced, but if they're open to it they'll be in a position to take on new and even more valuable roles that we can't even imagine today. Side note: AI may just help us deal with the projected doctor shortage. I know what you're thinking: That's big talk from an industry that recently gave you the EMR. That's fair, but there is a way to do this right. And that's what we're going to talk about today. Today's guests are Shahid Shah (usually co-host, but today I'm calling him a guest) and Dr. Chesley Richards, CDC Deputy Director for Public Health Scientific Services. Together we'll discuss the rapid pace of technological change in healthcare and what that means for doctors, vendors and patients. We'll show you how AI will complement and enhance the capabilities of today's clinicians and allow them to focus on keeping us healthy. We'll show you how technology, when its properly deployed and used, can be incredibly effective. And perhaps, most importantly, we'll tell you why listening is the starting point and potentially the most important thing you can do to ensure this all goes well. An overview of The Health IT Leadership Summit w/ Jody Braner and an introduction to today's podcast guests (0:00 - 10:20) Given all the advances in technology such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, Precision Medicine, etc. will doctors have jobs in 10 years? (11:10) Similarly, what will HealthIT vendors be working on in 10 years? (20:30) Looking at vaccines as technology, and applying that technology intelligently and in a way that was designed to work in specific communities and regions allowed us to eradicate diseases like Smallpox (29:38) How can tech vendors realign themselves to support the goal of cures instead of focusing on disease management and administration? (32:00) What hurdles do we have to get over so that collectively we're getting back to our focus on cures over just treatment? (35:15) Why does population health matter? (38:00) Let's discuss the dangers of technology and how it can adversely impact the delivery of care when it's not properly deployed and used. (41:00) We often think of technology as a way to digitize and automate what I do today. Why don't we take the opportunity to ask what we can do better? What can we stop doing altogether? (43:00) How can we power all of this in new ways with data? (47:35) How can the CDC and other organizations open up more data for public experimentation? (52:00) What new workforce needs or changes will emerge in healthcare in the coming years? (56:00) We can use data to cut down on the time from idea thru randomized trial to approval of new drugs - today that might take up to 17 years!!!! (1:01:35) This is a very engaging and insightful conversation, and one I know will make you think about a few things differently. I can honestly say that I loved listening to the final product and I believe you will too.

WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: March 7, 2013 Featuring: Gene H. Burke, MD, Vice President and Executive Medical Director for Clinical Effectiveness, Sentara Healthcare Michael Howell, MD, Director of Healthcare Delivery Science, Director of Critical Care Quality, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Lisa L. Maragakis, MD, MPH, FSHEA, Director of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control, Johns Hopkins Hospital Scott A. Miller, MD, FACP, Vice President, Medical Affairs, Sentara Leigh Hospital Tom Talbot, MD, MPH, Chief Hospital Epidemiologist, Vanderbilt University Medical Center One of the cornerstones of infection prevention in any health care setting, including when someone is being cared for at home, is good hand hygiene. Much of the attention in recent years has focused on hospitals and their rates of hand hygiene compliance among staff. And rightly so. Among the biggest contributors to hospital-acquired infections are, inadvertently, health professionals themselves... and others who come in contact with patients.The good news is that awareness of the necessity of strict hand hygiene compliance has never been greater… not just in the US, but in acute care settings globally. And this awareness has been coupled with practices that are being adhered to more reliably than ever before. But not everywhere, all the time; organizations that can tout rates as high as 95% are still the exception, not the rule, and good performers continue to face challenges closing the gap.WIHI host Madge Kaplan gathered infection prevention leaders and clinicians from four organizations whose recent innovations with hand hygiene at their facilities represent what could be the best bet yet that 100% compliance is achievable. Sentara, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center all have fresh approaches that rely on new kinds of auditing tools to discern what really works; better surveillance, monitoring, and measuring; reengineering; constant education; and a laser-like focus on behavior and culture change. What’s working in your organization? How are you getting your hand hygiene compliance rates to move upward? Compare and contrast your methods with those of our guests on this WIHI.

WSP - N Kinney, S Clinical Effectiveness Committee A Catalyst For Improving Patient Care by OPENPediatrics
Treatment failure during venom immunotherapy (VIT) may be associated with a variety of risk factors. Our aim was to evaluate the association of baseline serum tryptase concentration (BTC) and of other parameters with the frequency of VIT failure during the maintenance phase. In this observational prospective multicenter study, we followed 357 patients with established honey bee or vespid venom allergy after the maintenance dose of VIT had been reached. In all patients, VIT effectiveness was either verified by sting challenge (n = 154) or patient self-reporting of the outcome of a field sting (n = 203). Data were collected on BTC, age, gender, preventive use of anti-allergic drugs (oral antihistamines and/or corticosteroids) right after a field sting, venom dose, antihypertensive medication, type of venom, side effects during VIT, severity of index sting reaction preceding VIT, and duration of VIT. Relative rates were calculated with generalized additive models. 22 patients (6.2%) developed generalized symptoms during sting challenge or after a field sting. A strong association between the frequency of VIT failure and BTC could be excluded. Due to wide confidence bands, however, weaker effects (odds ratios
Professor Simon Gowers speaks about the clinical effectiveness of treatments for anorexia and the cost-effectiveness of three treatment strategies for adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
Background: Children with congenital hearing impairment benefit from early detection and treatment. At present, no model exists which explicitly quantifies the effectiveness of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) versus other programme alternatives in terms of early diagnosis. It has yet to be considered whether early diagnosis (within the first few months) of hearing impairment is of importance with regard to the further development of the child compared with effects resulting from a later diagnosis. The objective was to systematically compare two screening strategies for the early detection of new-born hearing disorders, UNHS and risk factor screening, with no systematic screening regarding their influence on early diagnosis. Methods: Design: Clinical effectiveness analysis using a Markov Model. Data Sources: Systematic literature review, empirical data survey, and expert opinion. Target Population: All newborn babies. Time scale: 6, 12 and 120 months. Perspective: Health care system. Compared Strategies: UNHS, Risk factor screening (RS), no systematic screening (NS). Outcome Measures: Quality weighted detected child months (QCM). Results: UNHS detected 644 QCM up until the age of 6 months ( 72,2%). RS detected 393 child months (44,1%) and no systematic screening 152 child months (17,0%). UNHS detected 74,3% and 86,7% weighted child months at 12 and 120 months, RS 48,4% and 73,3%, NS 23,7% and 60,6%. At the age of 6 months UNHS identified approximately 75% of all children born with hearing impairment, RS 50% and NS 25%. At the time of screening UNHS marked 10% of screened healthy children for further testing ( false positives), RS 2%. UNHS demonstrated higher effectiveness even under a wide range of relevant parameters. The model was insensitive to test parameters within the assumed range but results varied along the prevalence of hearing impairment. Conclusion: We have shown that UNHS is able to detect hearing impairment at an earlier age and more accurately than selective RS. Further research should be carried out to establish the effects of hearing loss on the quality of life of an individual, its influence on school performance and career achievement and the differences made by early fitting of a hearing aid on these factors.
