This session contains two 40 minute workshops.
Workshop: Using EMR data for clinical research: Opportunities and challengesThis workshop will discuss the use of EMR data in research projects. Participants will be able to reflect on and share their own experiences.
Learning objectives:- Explain the concept and importance of secondary use of EMR data for clinical research,
- Appreciate the opportunities, challenges, and considerations associated with this use of EMR data,
- Describe the impact of data types and clinical workflows on data quality (confounding, biases and missing data),
- Identify the key principles of successful EMR-based research projects.
Workshop: Wearable devices and the digital divide: Design thinking to address social determinants of health
Wearable devices can improve clinical care, patient functional status, and person-oriented outcomes. For example, by remotely monitoring a chronic condition, it may be possible to avoid unnecessary visits and improve the early detection of health changes. However, depending on how these wearables are designed and implemented, they can exacerbate inequities in care. Patients struggling with social determinants of health, such as poverty, digital health access, and functional health literacy, will need assistance overcoming barriers to using mobile technology. Clinicians and informaticians can proactively design innovative and person-centered solutions that bridge this digital divide. In this workshop, we will introduce and apply Design Thinking methods to explore how wearables may reduce, rather than exacerbate, inequities by making technology more accessible and useful for diverse populations.
