Although numerous healthcare organizations have transitioned from one electronic health record (EHR) to another or are currently planning a transition, there are few documented artifacts, such as published studies or operationalizable resources, that offer guidance on such transitions. This panel seeks to begin a conversation about human factors considerations in EHR transitions from a legacy system. Panel members will discuss current literature and research on the topic as well as experiences with and lessons learned from transitions within their organizations. Panel discussion can be expected to identify new research opportunities, needed resources, and guidance for EHR vendors or healthcare facilities in the midst of or preparing for an EHR transition. Panelists will also lay out systemic issues that need to be addressed at the national policy and regulatory level. This topic is relevant not only to full-scale EHR transitions, but also has applicability for significant EHR version changes.

The current unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of diagnostic assays in health security preparedness and readiness. Advancing new technologies for rapid molecular detection of high consequence infectious pathogens is an ongoing challenge that requires ingenuity and vision. Sustainment of a robust supply chain for materials and the logistics of timely product delivery further challenge diagnostic kit and device manufacturers. Business economists often characterize technology companies that discover unique breakthroughs in their field and are first to bring related products to market as first movers. From a market perspective, three first mover characteristics include: having the knowledge and capability to address a unique breakthrough, excellent technological leadership, and the ability to capitalize on the opportunity. Current mainstays for molecular detection include using Taq DNA Polymerase enzyme and fluorescent chemistry for quantitative PCR (qPCR). A newer and promising technology uses CRISPR-Cas proteins for nucleic acid detection. Our panel discussion from the 2020 ASM Biothreats conference, which included members from two prototypical first mover companies, explored their respective corporate experiences. Both companies were selected for the discussion based on their revolutionary innovations and similarities in their research and development, corporate culture and trajectory. One company, established over 20 years ago, became a market leader in the biothreat detection market by advancing air thermocycling qPCR across multiple product families. The second company is a rapidly growing start-up and a scientific pioneer in establishing next generation CRISPR technologies. Here we discuss their technology development, product deployment, and customer markets to draw lessons learned for researchers, end users, and funders.

The Impact

e18096 Background: Newly approved and emerging agents with novel mechanisms of action present unique challenges to treating patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), including keeping abreast of rapid and ever-aggregating data on their safety, tolerability and efficacy. To address these challenges, an education activity focused on new and emerging therapies for RRMM was developed and learner responses were evaluated to determine the impact of education. Methods: A live-online 1-hour video panel discussion with slides, polling, and live questions was produced in 2016 and made available on-demand at OMedLive.com for 6 months. Survey responses (pre-, post-, 8 weeks post-activity), polling responses, and live questions asked were tracked to measure engagement, lessons learned, and additional education gaps. Results: 51 of 288 learners completed all pre/post/follow-up surveys, 67% of which reported the activity positively impacted patient experience or outcome and 61% reported it positively impacted their clinical practice. These learners reported improvements in their ability to: assess the relative safety and efficacy of emerging agents (50%), differentiate available agents and their relative efficacy (50% with proteasome inhibitors, 39% with monoclonal antibodies), see the potential benefit of HDAC inhibitors (35%), use combination regimens (29%), and adjust treatments for patients who’ve experienced disease progression (29%). As the result of education, 95 of 288 learners reported commitments to change in regards to: medical/practice knowledge (95%), care attitudes (89%), practice behavior (76%), and patient clinical outcomes (81%). Learners also demonstrated improved competence via a case scenario which required identifying the optimal next step for a patient with biochemical progression, and improved knowledge on the characteristics of daratumumab, elotuzumab, and selinexor. Conclusions: New and emerging therapies promise to improve the lives of patients with RRMM, but complicates the already difficult task of managing the disease. Ongoing education on RRMM is recommended and can yield immediate and sustained gains in knowledge, competence, and performance.

Care during mass casualty events (MCE) has improved during the last 15 years. Military and civilian collaboration has led to partnerships which augment the response to MCE. Much has been written about strategies to deliver care during an MCE, but there is little about how to transition back to normal operations after an event. A panel discussion entitled The Day(s) After: Lessons Learned from Trauma Team Management in the Aftermath of an Unexpected Mass Casualty Event at the 76th Annual American Association for the Surgery of Trauma meeting on September 13, 2017 brought together a cadre of military and civilian surgeons with experience in MCEs. The events described were the First Battle of Mogadishu (1993), the Second Battle of Fallujah (2004), the Bagram Detention Center Rocket Attack (2014), the Boston Marathon Bombing (2013), the Asiana Flight 214 Plane Crash (2013), the Baltimore Riots (2015), and the Orlando Pulse Night Club Shooting (2016). This article focuses on the lessons learned from military and civilian surgeons in the days after MCEs.

Viral hepatitis remains one of the most significant health issues globally, directly responsible for over 1 million deaths each year and affecting almost 300 million people around the world. Scientific research in recent decades has brought about improvements in the lives of people living with chronic viral hepatitis. On the 29 July 2021, the Australian Centre for Hepatitis Virology (ACHV) for the first time held a public educational forum for the general public. The main aim of this event was to inform the affected community about the importance of scientific research and give an overview of upcoming developments in the field. Here, we provide a detailed report of the panel discussion (including its organisation, execution, and lessons learned to incorporate into future events) and provide strategies that can be used by other scientific societies to hold similar events in their own communities.

Customary Land

An increasing number of African States are recognizing customary land tenure. Yet, there is a lack of research on how community rights are recognized in legal and policy frameworks, how they are implemented in practice, and how to include marginalized groups. In 2018–2019, we engaged in collaborative exploratory research on governing natural resources for food sovereignty with social movement networks, human rights lawyers and academics in West and East Africa. In this article, we reflect on the process and methods applied to identify research gaps and partners (i.e., two field visits and regional participatory workshops in Mali and Uganda), with a view to share lessons learned. In current debates on the recognition and protection of collective rights to land and resources, we found there is a need for more clarity and documentation, with customary land being privatized and norms rapidly changing. Further, the voices of women and youth are lacking in communal land governance. This process led to collaborative research with peasant and pastoralist organizations in Kenya, Tanzania, Mali and Guinea, with the aim to achieve greater self-determination and participation of women and youth in communal land governance, through capacity building, participatory research, horizontal dialogues and action for social change.

Creativity And Innovation

Creativity and innovation is at the core of the PhD programs, but it is much less present in undergraduate or master programs creating a difficult gap for many students. Moreover, the dynamics of the evolution of the current world is making creativity and innovation a requirement for many jobs. However, large class sizes, density of the material presented, domain complexity and instructor research experience are some of the limiting factors that make difficult to include creativity and innovation training in the undergraduate curriculum. In this lightning talk session, educators with practical experience in preparing undergraduate students for creativity, innovation and research, will present and debate strategies to overcome these challenges in classes of various types (e.g. online vs. in class), levels (introductory vs. specialized electives) and using a diverse spectrum of methods, (including active learning, experiential learning, team-based learning, flipped classroom, project-based learning, competition-based learning, capstone courses, and extra-curriculum activities). The session will continue with a panel discussion about the applicability of such methods in various settings, how to start including such elements in classically taught curriculum, and will answer questions from the audience. Specific case studies from the audience are encouraged and will be discussed. At the end of this session the participants will have a better understanding of available strategies and lessons learned of how to make creativity and innovation integral part of the curriculum.

Constructive Dialogue

This article provides a personal narrative of my experience as a first year counselor educator organizing and facilitating a public panel discussion held at George Mason University in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin. The panel discussion provided an opportunity for open, honest, and constructive dialogue among students, faculty, staff, and community members on such topics as individual and institutional racism, stereotypes of Black masculinity, gun control laws, hate crimes against young Black men, the myth of a post-racial United States, and what we can do as citizens to prevent such tragedies in the future. I will also discuss the lessons learned, not only about organizing a public forum, but about taking the initiative.
