SUMMARY:2023 GSA Conference Workshop - The Long-Term Care Data Cooperative: Leveraging Nursing Home Electronic Health Records for Research
DESCRIPTION:IMPACT multiple principal investigator Vincent Mor\, PhD and colleagues will hold a workshop entitled “The Long-Term Care Data Cooperative: Leveraging Nursing Home Electronic Health Records for Research\,” at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting on November 8\, 2023. \nThe Long-Term Care Data Cooperative is funded by the National Institute of Aging and aims to improve the quality of care within skilled nursing facilities by compiling the most comprehensive electronic health records data on nursing home residents nationwide. This data can be linked to Medicare claims and includes over 2\,100 nursing homes\, 386\,000 residents\, 6.7 million distinct patient diagnoses\, 12.4 million medication prescriptions\, 300 million medication administrations\, 550\,000 vaccination records\, and 290 million vital signs observations. \nThe interactive workshop will enable attendees to learn how the LTC Data Cooperative is generating real-world evidence on treatments and care practices. They will receive access to explore sample data\, gain a comprehensive understanding of the core data model\, and learn how to request access for research purposes. In addition\, interested attendees can apply for one-year “real world data scholars” training grants. \nThe workshop will be held on the afternoon of November 8 – the first day of the conference. \nThe full conference will be held November 8-12\, 2023\, in Tampa\, Florida.\nRegister or learn more about the conference and workshop at gsa2023.org.

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Michael Harhay\, PhD\, MPH | Outcomes truncated by death in randomized trials
DESCRIPTION:Join us for IMPACT Grand Rounds on Thursday\, November 16 at 12pm ET with Dr. Michael Harhay who will be presenting on the “Outcomes truncated by death in randomized trials.” \nMichael Harhay\, PhD\, MPH\, leads a research program that develops statistical methods\, study designs\, and outcome measures to improve studies for patients with critical and severe illnesses. As director of the NIH and PCORI-funded Clinical Trials Methods and Outcomes Lab at the University of Pennsylvania’s Palliative and Advanced Illness Research Center\, his team is particularly focused on developing and using causal inference and Bayesian statistical methods to better design and analyze pragmatic and cluster-randomized trials for these patient populations. He has contributed to a wide range of trial methodology areas\, including informatively missing or truncated data\, estimand refinement\, Bayesian trial applications\, small-sample corrections\, and making the best use of baseline covariate information. In 2022\, he joined the Penn Medicine Nudge Unit as the Director of Statistical Evaluation\, where he applies these methods to studies in Penn’s health system. Dr. Harhay currently serves as a deputy editor of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and an associate editor of the International Journal of Epidemiology. In 2023\, he was named an Honorary Research Fellow in the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at University College London. \n  \nZoom Conferencing\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 \nPDF Flyer: IMPACT GR | M.
