Overview

Details

This session contains two 40 minute workshops.

Data recorded during patient care are often used to generate scientific evidence. Real-world evidence (RWE) studies supplement control arms of clinical trials and provide comparators where usual controls are not possible for ethical, technical, or other reasons. This workshop characterizes core concepts of RWE research, provides examples of study designs, overviews assessment of institution readiness to contribute data, and discusses current regulatory landscape in the United States, the European Union and in other countries. This fast-evolving segment of research and a timely perspective on best practices is relevant to informaticists and researchers in private, clinical and academic domains.

The development of implementation plans using theoretical frameworks are important at strategy, program, and project levels. Adoption of such plans provide important guidance on the processes and strategies to adopt for the successful implementation of digital health services. Further, they provide an opportunity for organisational learning and service improvement. This workshop will provide participants with useful, step by step practical guidelines for developing an implementation enhancement plan, supported by relevant background and theory. The workshop will present a clear and staged conceptual model, discuss design and implementation issues, and consider enablers and barriers, with strategies for addressing each of these. Participants will learn the format and approach for developing an implementation enhancement plan, the range of techniques and skills involved in its design and implementation and develop an appreciation of the parameters of the tasks involved and how to approach them.

The workshop facilitators will alternate between use of a PowerPoint presentation and small group interactive work. The workshop follows a case-study approach and involves participants in the development of a theory driven implementation enhancement plan for the case-study. In this way, the approach to training is participatory and hands-on while still conveying sufficient theory and context.
