Using the Project ECHO teleconsultation model, community mental health providers will participate in 6 months of sessions to better support the autistic Latine community. Participants will respond to pre and post surveys to learn about change in knowledge and self-efficacy as related to the Project ECHO model.
Purpose: To conduct a cluster RCT trial to compare the efficacy of the AD ACP Toolkit (intervention) vs usual care (control) on GOC discussions (primary outcome) in People Living with Dementia (PLwD), and other ACP practices such as preferred surrogate, decisional capacity, and portable ACP orders (secondary outcomes) over 18 months.
To identify the skills needed to effectively manage a medical laboratory in today's healthcare system and to assess the gap in management training in new laboratory leaders.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the characteristics and workforce of school-based behavioral health (SBBH) programs across the U.S. in order to identify the resources needed to expand these services.
Researchers will conduct interviews with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID) and their care partners who have participated in HEELS 2 Transition programming (UNC HEELS Prep, Up, or Week Away) to understand which instructional topics, tools, and technology they prefer and find most useful. This information will be used to build e-learning tools.
To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) process focused on physicians' variability during the pre-treatment peer review processes and assess the impact of the process in the RT work system on patient safety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Prospect Theory (whether a choice emphasizes what one gains or what one loses by making that choice) in conjunction with Goals Systems Theory (whether one task completes just one or multiple goals) and the impact that these two theories have on participants' situational evaluations in addition to the effect that these two theories will play in participants decision making processes.
Predictive modeling has recently attracted a lot of attention from organizations trying to leverage AI and big data to improve their work processes such as decision-making. However, real-world problems are rarely well-formulated machine learning problems. Practitioners have to supply a well-defined predictive target to operationalize a predictive model. In such cases, they often resort to using observed variables to approximate the actual construct of interest. For example, people have used high sales numbers as a proxy for a good employee. Proxy label selection is a recurring challenge when predictive ML is applied to real-world problems. The purpose of this interview study is to understand how ML practitioners select proxy labels, evaluate proxy labels, and iterate through the different tasks involved.
The purpose of this study is to create a registry that will collect clinical data from participants attending UNC Hospitals who may present with metastatic cancer and are evaluated to receive radiation therapy. We hope to create a registry that future studies can pull from to study the impacts of radiation therapy on patient cancer outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to investigate nurses' perceptions of pain management and opioid use in patients who have received nerve blocks. This research aims to explore various aspects related to the utilization of nerve blocks in pain management protocols and the potential implications for opioid prescribing practices. Specifically, the study seeks to: Assess the adequacy of pain management in patients who receive nerve blocks, as perceived by frontline healthcare providers. Evaluate nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of nerve blocks in providing targeted pain relief compared to traditional opioid-based analgesia. Investigate nurses' attitudes towards opioid sparing strategies and whether they believe patients who have received nerve blocks require fewer opioids for pain management. Examine nurses' experiences with and attitudes towards training in pain management, particularly in the context of nerve blocks, to identify potential areas for improvement in professional development. Explore the integration of evidence-based practices into clinical care and the extent to which nerve
