Joanna Abraham, PhD, FACMI, FAMIA
Associate Professor
Department of Anesthesiology and the Institute for Informatics
Washington University School of MedicineAbstract:
In this talk, I will discuss my ongoing research on postoperative patient care transitions. Informed by contextual inquiry approaches and mixed methods, we conducted a series of studies to investigate the current operating room to ICU handoff workflow and to develop design requirements for a socio-technical handoff tool. This handoff tool is augmented by machine learning predictions of patient risks of postoperative complications and by perioperative telemedicine teams to support resilience to communication errors. I will discuss the planned trial and new directions for safety research in perioperative medicine.Wednesday, January 25, 2023

Participants contribute biospecimens, health surveys, EHR data, and activity monitor data, such as Fitbit data. In May 2020, the program launched the beta version of the Researcher Workbench. Researchers can access individual-level data and suite of tools for analysis of common and rare diseases. In March 2022, the program released ~100,000 whole genomes, which has revealed nearly 600 million genetic variants observed in our population. All of Us is committed to catalyzing a robust data ecosystem that drives discovery and improves health.Learning Objectives:
- Appreciate AoU's release of 100,000+ genomes reveals above genetic variants in the population
- How this can lead to a robust data ecosystem that drives discovery and improves health
- How you can access this vast ecosystem

Title: "Using Raw Audit Logs to Measure Physician Workload, Cognitive Burden and Burnout"
Thomas Kannampallil, PhD, FAMIA
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology
Associate Chief Research Information Officer
Inaugural Director for Acute Care Innovation Research, Department of Anesthesiology
Washington University School of MedicineAbstract:
In this talk, Dr. Kannampallil will discuss the use of raw audit logs—trails of clinicians' click stream activities on an EHR—to measure physician workload cognitive burden and burnout using a combination of statistical and machine learning approaches. In a series of studies, we developed data pipelines and open-source tools for translating raw clickstream data into meaningful EHR use metrics that were used for (a) assessing workload, (b) creating objective measures of errors, and (c) assessing the relationship between workload (and cognitive burden) on errors. He will also describe new directions for research using audit logs including novel mathematical and machine learning techniques to characterize tasks, measuring interactive communication (using Epic SecureChat), and comparing audit log-based workload measures and reimbursements.

Professor of Biomedical Informatics
Institute of Health Informatics
University College of London
Associate Director at the British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre
Health Data Research UKLearning Objectives:
1. Describe the characteristics of structured EHR and provide research use cases.
2. Understand methods that work across the human phenome such as phenome-wide association studies (PHEWAS).
3. Describe key concepts of phenotyping algorithm creation and evaluation.Abstract:
Electronic health records (EHR) are an invaluable research resource for studying the aetiology and prognosis of individual diseases. Working with EHR, however, is challenging due to their complex and messy nature. This talk will focus on the opportunities and challenges in the process of creating and evaluating EHR phenotyping algorithms and explore different ways of scaling analyses in terms of breadth and depth.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2022

Dara Mize, MD, MS, FAMIA
Assistant Professor, DBMI and Department of Medicine
HealthIT Clinical Director
VUMCThe dissonant relationship between clinicians and the EHR is well-documented. Personal, organizational, and external factors also influence clinician well-being and contribute to burnout.

Title: "EHR Data Quality in Genetic Research: Why You Should Worry & What You Can Do About It"
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor, DBMILearning Objectives:
1. Describe how biobanks are used for genetic study.
2. Understand high-throughput phenotyping techniques.
3. Learn how to conduct replication experiments with biobank data.Abstract:
Genetics researchers increasingly rely on EHRs as a source of phenotypic data. While EHRs have enormous potential to help us further map the phenotype/genotype terrain, generating accurate phenotypes using real-world EHR data can be challenging. In this talk, I will discuss the way EHR data quality impacts genetics research with concrete examples from both the common/complex and rare disease domains, and describe ways that analysts can detect error and enhance the quality of their EHR-based phenotypes.

Title: "Enabling Clinical Research and Innovation through a Clinical Informatics Core"
Allison McCoy, PhD, FAMIA, ACHIP
Assistant Professor, DBMI
Director, Clinical Informatics Core, Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center (VCLIC)Abstract:
Clinical researchers frequently require special data extracts or unique electronic health record intervention development, often on a short timeline. It can be hard to meet the needs of researchers using standard IT processes. The Vanderbilt's Clinical Informatics Core facility serves the unique needs of researchers using dedicated informatics resources. The core offers the following services to researchers: clinical data extraction and analysis, design and build of EHR interventions, predictive model implementation, value set and logic development, and general clinical informatics consultation. In its first year of operation, the core has facilitated the completion of grant submissions, funded grant research, and publications that would not have been previously feasible. Investigators are satisfied with the cost, quality, and timeliness of the work completed by the core, and they are likely to both recommend the core to colleagues and use the core for future work.Learning Objectives:
- Describe the unique informatics needs of researchers.
- Define a research core facility and the special capabilities and requirements of a core.
- Describe how an informatics core facility can meet the unique needs of researchers.

Topic: "Improving Use of Health Information System: Educational Approaches"
Aviv Shachak, BSc, MSc, PhD, FIAHSI
Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator, Institute of Health Policy, Management & Evaluation (Dalla Lana School of Public Health)
Associate Professor (cross-appointed), Faculty of Information
University of Toronto
Cross-Appointed Researcher, Wilson Centre for Research in Education
University Health Network and University of Toronto
Abstract:
The benefits of health information technology (HIT) depend on the way they are being used. Education and training are often needed to move from basic to advanced, value-adding use. This talk will describe a number of educational approaches we used to address non-technical challenges of using electronic medical records (EMRs) in primary care: exploratory (productive failure) learning, video tutorials, and simulation. The challenges addressed by these approaches included improving EMR data quality at the point of data entry, use of advanced EMR features for chronic disease management, and impact of the EMR on patient-clinician communication. While these approaches are promising, there is a need for innovation and diversity of educational approaches to address use of advanced HIT features, identified challenges with HIT, and usage in context, as well as for rigorous evaluation.Learning Objectives:
-Describe the rationale behind these three educational approaches.
-Explain the strengths and limitations of each of the educational approaches presented.
-Select an appropriate educational approach for improving use of current and future HIT (e.g. AI-based applications).MARCH 16, 2022 - 12:00 PM (CT)
