Podcasts about implementation research

With a standard deck of cards, there are around 2.5 million potential hands at the start of each game of poker. The key to success is in the decision process—determining how to play a hand, and how much to bet, despite not knowing which cards are in another player's hand. Like in poker, every investment decision includes at least some degree of uncertainty. What lessons can poker teach investors about sizing their bets, managing risk, and making better decisions for their portfolio?  This episode of The Outthinking Investor delivers insights on the benefits of probabilistic thinking, the best methods for analyzing portfolio decisions, and how investors could develop a sound decision-making process for targeting returns - even when facing uncertainty and market volatility.   Our guests are Annie Duke, a decision scientist, former world-class professional poker player, and the author of books including “Thinking in Bets” and “Quit”; Tina Lindstrom, Head of Oil Derivatives Trading for North America at Marex; and Adam Papallo, Head of Implementation Research at PGIM Quantitative Solutions.  Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

It was a deep honour to engage in a wonderful conversation with Rouzana about her Chapter, Global Action for Developmental Language Disorder. Rouzana generously shared the following points and much more: - Her professional role within Implementation Research and Consultancy. - The path that led her to work with the DLD population to ensure they receive the supports they require. - An explanation of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and an example of what it may look like from childhood to adulthood. - How her work supports school-aged students with DLD by understanding the school context, identifying barriers, understanding the condition, and how to implement supports that are sustainable. - Unpacking intersections between DLD & stereotypes and DLD & other languages/dialects. Rouzana can be contacted on: - https://mosinian.com/about ⁠ @rkomesidou ⁠ - Instagram - @rkomesidou DLD resources mentioned: - https://radld.org/ - https://thedldproject.com/ - https://dldandme.org/ - https://x.com/tiffanyphogan/status/1735290405518811419 This conversation will be available on ⁠ @humanchapters ⁠ , Human Chapters Podcast and Facebook page.

Omonyele Adjognon, DrPH (candidate) of the HSR Center for Healthcare Organization and Implementation Research idiscusses her work with Drs. Christopher Miller and Kate Iverson on screening for intimate partner violence in Veterans in VA primary care.

Sports generate a lot of data among them individual player metrics, team performance data, and specific game statistics. And there are a lot of tools to crunch all those numbers. Learning to use them can be a challenge and is the focus of many sport analytics classes offered in the United States. We hear about one professor's approach to teaching sports stats in this episode of Stats and Stories, where we explore the statistics behind the stories with guest Mark Glickman. Glickman is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, a Senior Lecturer on Statistics in the Harvard University Department of Statistics, and Senior Statistician at the Center for Healthcare Organization and Implementation Research. His research interests are primarily in the areas of statistical models for rating competitors in games and sports, and in statistical methods applied to problems in health services research. He served as an elected member of the American Statistical Association's Board of Directors as representative of the Council of Sections Governing Board from 2019 to 2021.

“An increasing number of patients are utilizing federally qualified health care centers every year and given the target population of those who are probably most at need or have been kind of historically underserved, they also, unfortunately, disproportionately experience behavioral health challenges. So, it kind of leads to this situation where there's really high behavioral health needs amongst patients serviced by federally qualified health centers.” Authors Kelsey S. Dickson and Tana Holt share how they applied the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and the Health Equity Implementation framework to conduct a needs and context assessment to inform the development and testing of evidence-based practice strategies and implementation support as part of a care coordination program within a partnered Federally Qualified Health Center. They share their methodology, key findings, and recommendations for improving the postpartum outcomes of this population. The authors share how care coordination was enhanced and offer a glimpse into the next phase of this research. This episode references the article “Enhancing Behavioral Health Implementation in a Care Coordination Program at a Federally Qualified Health Center: A Case Study Applying Implementation Frameworks” by Kelsey S. Dickson, Tana Holt, and Elva M. Arredondo.

The amazing and generous Shannon Dorsey swings by the podcast to talk about her work on pragmatic and applied implementation science, including implementing in low resource and international settings, how to build trust and working community partnerships, and putting jargon into plain language.

Many gaps exist between the generation of evidence and the effective and equitable uptake of research findings into routine obstetric care. In this podcast from the SMFM Research Committee, Dr. Lynn Yee interviews Dr. Rebecca Hamm about the use of implementation science in obstetric research. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services. In this interview, Dr. Hamm introduces the concept of implementation science and discusses why it is relevant to improving equity in obstetric care.
