Our paper Babe:Enhancing Fairness via Estimation of Explaining Variables is on its way to #ACMFAccT'24 ! It took quite a while to convince the reviewers! Possibly, because we take a different path, than simply equalizing the outcome for the sensitive populations. We are addressing the problem of biased “ground truth” labels, or the “explaining variable” which is noisy because of historical bias. For example, the priority healthcare decisions based on health spending are discriminative to the pour populations, which spend less even though their health condition is worse. The question is, how much is it worse and how much more priority they should get? The idea of the paper is to combine the existing prior knowledge from scientific studies with the observational data. We also propose a method to account for the distribution differences between the observational and experimental populations. I believe the idea of combining data driven approach with prior scientific knowledge can lead to having the best of the two worlds and is applicable in many areas of ML.

JBI Evidence Implementation: an official journal of JBI #JBIMethodology Are you interested in the latest advancements in #implementation science? Don’t miss the current issue of JBI Evidence Implementation - a journal dedicated to turning the best available evidence into healthcare practices. #QualityImprovement Our newest issue features a range of studies and commentaries, including: "Collaborative Implementation Science: A Can-SOLVE CKD Case Example" - a toolkit and guide to help research teams bridge the gap between evidence and practice in kidney care. "Barriers and Facilitators of Evidence-Based Practice in the Portuguese Context" - a look at how nursing leaders are championing evidence-based practice in Portugal. "Fostering an Aged Care Organisational Culture That Supports Innovation" - strategies for building a culture of innovation in aged care. Whether you’re in clinical practice, policy or research, there's something here to inspire your work. https://lnkd.in/g9X6YcyM

The JBI approach, backed by over 20 years of practice, shines as a proof of concept. Over 560 documented implementation projects attest to its efficacy, showcasing tangible shifts in healthcare practices across various settings globally. In the tapestry of implementation science, the JBI approach stands not as a rigid doctrine but a complementary guide. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing structure while seamlessly integrating with existing frameworks.

Human Factors Breakout Stream 2 at ACDM24…… The ACDM: Association for Clinical Data Management would like to thank the presenters of the sessions that took place during the second Human Factors Breakout Stream: > Bronson Carrasco (Phastar) who presented “Data diary confessions: Blood, sweat and caffeine filled graduate scheme” > Julia Kwaśnikowska, MPharm & Mateusz Uchacz (AstraZeneca) who presented “Mission impossible - DM and sites collaboration” > Gail Kniveton (Pop Science and Innovo Associates) who presented “Evolving Job Roles in Clinical Trials: Navigating the New Frontier of Clinical Data Management….or should we call it Clinical Data Science?” #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials #clinicaldatamanagement #clinicaloperations #edc #ecoa #acdm #ACDM24

The latest issue of JBI Evidence Implementation is out now! Discover a new collection of best practice implementation projects, as well as more original research exploring the field of #ImpSci. Also included is an editorial, which explores a new approach to the role of FAME (Feasibility, Appropriateness, Meaningfulness and Effectiveness), using case studies drawn from implementation projects. Read the final 2024 issue of JBI Evidence Implementation for this and much more!👇 https://ow.ly/pajI50U1ORI #JBIEBHC #ThinkFAME #EvidenceImplementation #ImpSci JBI EVIDENCE IMPLEMENTATION

9 Across: What is the ACDM inviting you to take part in ahead of ACDM25...... The ACDM: Association for Clinical Data Management is inviting you take part in the 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 for oral presentation and poster display at ACDM25. The Call for Abstracts provides an opportunity to share your experiences, achievements, developments and thoughts with the clinical data management community in Prague next March. We have put together the following graphic which contains some suggested topics, but we look forward to hearing from you on other topic areas too. Find out more and submit your Abstract before September 10th here: https://lnkd.in/ggkJSNK2 ACDM Board: Robert King, Sverre Bengtsson, Jo Marshall, Nina Reyes, Eva Alder, Richard Davies, Nicola Götz, Anita Kratchmarov, Ashley Howard, Amelie Spieser Conference Committee: James McKenna, Ali Roskell, Hari Priya, Stephanie Hau, Amanda Bravery, Jasvinder Osan, Sandy Pinto, Lynette Thomas #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials #clinicaldatamanagement #clinicaloperations #edc #ecoa #acdm25

Someone asked us “If you could compare a clinical data manager to an animal, which one would it be?”…… Constantly adapting and responding to an ever changing environment is something that the clinical data management function has done so well for the last few decades. So, our answer to this question was a chameleon. The speed at which the function adapts and changes is similar to how a chameleon adapts to its natural environment. That is what makes the clinical data management function so special. The ACDM: Association for Clinical Data Management is a global membership association that has been leading the way in clinical data management since 1987.

The spring SMART IRB Study Team Advisory Meeting (STEAM) is on April 22nd at 10 AM EDT via Zoom. We established the SMART IRB Study Team Advisory Meeting to obtain input from investigators and study teams on the best ways to navigate single IRB review arrangements for their studies. Goals 1.Identify ways to better engage study teams in the sIRB process. 2.Improve dissemination and utilization of current SMART IRB research team resources. 3.Learn what works well with the process for study teams and areas that present challenges. If you are interested in attending the spring meeting or would like more information on STEAM, please message me. Mike #IRB, #SMART_IRB, #ACRP, #SOCRA
