SUMMARY:IMPACT Grand Rounds: Implementation Outcomes: Their Role in Treatment Success
DESCRIPTION:Enola Proctor\, PhD\, Shanti K. Khinduka distinguished professor emeritus at Washington University in St. Louis will present on “Implementation Outcomes: Their Role in Treatment Success.” \nDr. Proctor’s research is motivated by the question\, how do we ensure that people receive the very best possible care?  She has studied this question in a variety of social work\, public health\, and health care settings\, ranging from hospitals to community agencies. She has contributed to the intellectual capital for the rapidly growing field of dissemination and implementation science\, leading teams to distinguish\, clearly define\, develop taxonomies\, and stimulate more systematic work to advance the conceptual\, linguistic\, and methodological clarity in the field.  Her research has been funded by the NIA\, and AHRQ\, and by the NIMH for 26 consecutive years.  She directs the Implementation Research Institute\, a training program in implementation science funded by the National Institute for Mental Health.  She led the establishment of several university-wide centers and cores in implementation science\, including the Center for Dissemination and Implementation for the Washington University Institute for Public Health and the Dissemination and Implementation Research Core for Washington University’s CTSA program.  Her awards include Washington University’s Arthur Compton Holly Distinguished Faculty Award\, the Society for Social Work and Research’s Distinguished Research Award\, and the American Public Health Association Stephen M. Banks Award for Outstanding Mentoring in mental health services. \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, November 19\, 2020\n12:00 – 1:00 pm ET \nZoom Details:\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iOS or Android: https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/97344810673\nDial-In: +1 312 626 6799 (US Toll) or +1 470 250 9358 (US Toll)\nMeeting ID: 973 4481 0673 \nDownload announcement.

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Using a Pilot to Test and Refine Your Measurement Strategy
DESCRIPTION:A hallmark of embedded pragmatic trials (ePCTs) is use of existing data sources to evaluate study outcomes. In ePCTs focused on people with dementia\, behavioral outcomes of interest are often under-documented in the existing administrative data. Using a case example\, we describe how a pilot can be used to test the adequacy of existing data for evaluating your ePCT outcome. We also describe a potentially efficient ePCT design that accommodates under-detection in existing data while maintaining large-scale implementation and evaluation. \nSpeaker\nEllen McCreedy\, PhD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor\, Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research\, Brown University School of Public Health \nEllen McCreedy\, PhD\, MPH is interested in improving the quality of life for people living with advanced dementia. Her research goals are to reduce the amount of futile and burdensome care received at the end of life; and to provide comfort\, meaning\, and moments of joy to people living with dementia and their families. Professor McCreedy received her MPH in Global Health from the University of South Florida\, her PhD in Health Services Research from the University of Minnesota\, and recently completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at Brown University\, Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research. Dr. McCreedy is directing a pragmatic trial of a personalized music intervention to reduce agitation and isolation in nursing home residents living with dementia. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe how a pilot study can be used to test the adequacy of existing data sources for the purposes of evaluating your ePCT.\nGive three reasons why existing administrative data may suffer from under-detection of behaviors in persons with dementia.\nDiscuss an alternative ePCT design that addresses potential under-detection in existing administrative data sources.\n\nDate & Time\nThursday\, January 23\, 2020\n12:00 – 1:00 pm EST\n \nHow to Join\nZoom Conferencing \nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iOS or Android: https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/5479652617     \nDial-In:    +1 646 876 9923 (US Toll) or +1 669 900 6833 (US Toll) \nMeeting ID:  547 965 2617 \nKeywords\nAdministrative data\, dementia-related behaviors\, measurement\, piloting \nAdditional Resources\nMcCreedy EM\, Yang X\, Baier RR\, Rudolph JL\, Thomas KS\, Mor V.

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds
DESCRIPTION:Stepped wedge cluster trials: What\, how\, and when?\nMonica Taljaard\, PhD\nSenior Scientist\, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute\nAssociate Professor\, University of Ottawa\nThursday\, December 19\, 2019\n12:00 – 1:00 pm EST\nLearning Objectives:\n\nDescribe the key characteristics and main types of stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs) with examples.\nExplain the main approach to analysis and sample size calculation for SW-CRTs.\nDiscuss what is an appropriate justification for using a SW-CRTs.\n\nMonica Taljaard\, PhD is a biostatistician specializing in the design\, analysis\, and ethics of pragmatic cluster randomized and stepped wedge trials. As a member of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) Methods Center\, she regularly provides biostatistical assistance to investigators in the design\, conduct\, and analysis of pragmatic trials\, pilot trials\, quality improvement interventions\, and health system projects. Since Dr. Taljaard’s academic appointment in 2006\, she has published over 240 peer-reviewed manuscripts and has received over $10M in peer-reviewed research grants as principal investigator from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research\, in addition to $110 million in peer-reviewed research funding as co-investigator. She has collaborated with investigators in the design and analysis of a large-scale pragmatic cluster randomized trials in US Nursing homes\, and studies in palliative and end-of-life care\, dementia\, long-term care\, perioperative care of the frail elderly\, and health care system quality improvement in nursing homes. \nZoom Conferencing\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iOS or Android: https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/5479652617     \nDial-In:    +1 646 876 9923 (US Toll) or +1 669 900 6833 (US Toll) \nMeeting ID:  547 965 2617 \n

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds Webinar: Are You Ready for a Pragmatic Trial? The RAPT Model and Implementation Considerations
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will describe the use of the Readiness Assessment for Pragmatic Trials (RAPT) model to asses an intervention’s readiness for a pragmatic randomized\, controlled trial (PCT). PCTs are gaining momentum among among interventionists and funding agencies seeking to accelerate the testing and adoption of evidence-based strategies to improve care and outcomes because their findings are generalizable. Particular attention is being paid to non-pharmacological interventions\, which are often complex and may be difficult to uniformly implement across multiple sites. While many such non-pharmacological interventions have proven efficacious in small trials\, most have not been widely adopted. PCTs could accelerate effectiveness testing and adoption\, yet there are no established criteria to identify interventions ready for testing in a PCT. This webinar will help demonstrate how the RAPT model can help to establish those criteria. \nRead more about the RAPT Model \n \nDownload the event flyer
