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 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
