Carnegie Mellon and Lumen Learning Announce EEP-Relevant Collaboration - - 0 views

  • pen Educational Resources (OER) because that's what they do, but there's nothing about RISE that only works with OER. As long as you have the right to modify the curricular materials you are working with—even if that means removing something proprietary and replacing it with something of your own making—then the RISE framework is potentially useful.
  • To achieve this, we propose the Resource Inspection, Selection, and Enhancement (RISE) Framework as a simple framework for using learning analytics to identify open educational resources that are good candidates for improvement efforts.
  • By utilizing this framework, designers can identify resources in their courses that are good candidates for additional improvement efforts.

  • RISE is designed to work with a certain type of common course design, where content and assessment items are both aligned to learning objectives.
  • aligning the course content and assessment questions with specific learning objectives
  • Everybody knows the mantra "correlation is not causation,
  • f we want educators to understand both the value and the limitations of working with data, then they need to have absolute clarity and consistency regarding what those analytics widgets are telling them.
  • This isn't about technology. It's about literacy.
  • They don't need to understand how to do the math, but they do need to understand what the math is doing
  • cloud-based educational research collaboration platform.
  • Lumen Learning is contributing the statistical programming package for RISE that will be imported into Tigris.
  • now they also have an ecosystem
  • CMU is making massive declaration to the world about their seriousness regarding research collaboration.
  • Expect universities to begin adopting LearnSphere
  • With this kind of an ecosystem
  • learning outcome alignment of both content and assessment is critical to enabling the proposed framework.
  • Everybody who teaches with this kind of course design should regularly tune those courses in this way, as should everybody who builds courses that are designed this way.

    "Late last week, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Lumen Learning jointly issued a press release announcing their collaboration on an effort to integrate the Lumen-developed RISE analytical framework for curricular materials improvement analysis into the toolkit that Carnegie Mellon announced it will be contributing via open licenses (and unveiling at the Empirical Educator Project (EEP) summit that they are hosting in May)."

    "LearnSphere integrates existing and new educational data and analysis repositories to offer the world's largest learning analytics infrastructure with methods, linked data, and portal access to relevant resources." Stanford is working with the Tigris online workflow authoring tool. Need to explore this tool. No UCSD links?

Healthcare Text Analytics: Unlocking the Evidence from Free Text | Frontiers Research T... - 0 views

  •  
    "About this Research Topic Healthcare narratives (such as clinical notes, discharge letters, nurse handover notes, imaging reports, patients posts on social media or feedback comments, etc.) have been used as a key communication stream that contains the majority of actionable and contextualised data, but which - despite being increasingly available in a digital form - is still not routinely analysed, and is rarely integrated with other healthcare data on a large-scale. There are many barriers and challenges in processing healthcare free text, including, for example, the variability and implicit nature of language expressions, and difficulties in sharing training and evaluation data. On the other hand, recent years have witnessed increasing needs and opportunities to process free text, with a number of success stories that have demonstrated the feasibility of using advanced Natural Language Processing to unlock evidence contained in free text to support clinical care, patient self-management, epidemiological research and audit."

A mysterious company's coronavirus papers in top medical journals may be unraveling | S... - 0 views

  • On its face, it was a major finding: Antimalarial drugs touted by the White House as possible COVID-19 treatments looked to be not just ineffective, but downright deadly. A study published on 22 May in The Lancet used hospital records procured by a little-known data analytics company called Surgisphere to conclude that coronavirus patients taking chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine were more likely to show an irregular heart rhythm—a known side effect thought to be rare—and were more likely to die in the hospital. Within days, some large randomized trials of the drugs—the type that might prove or disprove the retrospective study’s analysis—screeched to a halt. Solidarity, the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) megatrial of potential COVID-19 treatments, paused recruitment into its hydroxychloroquine arm, for example.
  • The study doesn’t properly control for the likelihood that patients getting the experimental drugs were sicker than the controls
  • Other researchers were befuddled by the data themselves. Though 66% of the patients were reportedly treated in North America, the reported doses tended to be higher than the guidelines set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, White notes. The authors claim to have included 4402 patients in Africa, 561 of whom died, but it seems unlikely that African hospitals would have detailed electronic health records for so many patients, White says.

  • This was very, very annoying, that The Lancet were just going to let them write this absurd reply … without addressing any of the other concerns,”
  • 200 clinicians and researchers, that calls for the release of Surgisphere’s hospital-level data, an independent validation of the results
  • But the revision had other problems, Chaccour and his colleagues wrote in their blog post. For example, the mortality rate for patients who received mechanical ventilation but no ivermectin was just 21%, which is strikingly low; a recent case series from New York City area found that 88% of COVID-19 patients who needed ventilation died. Also, the data shown in a figure were wildly different from those reported in the text. (Science also attempted to reach Grainger, but received no reply to an email and call.)
  • Surgisphere’s sparse online presence—the website doesn’t list any of its partner hospitals by name or identify its scientific advisory board, for example—have prompted intense skepticism.
  • wondered in a blog post why Surgisphere’s enormous database doesn’t appear to have been used in peer-reviewed research studies until May.
  • how LinkedIn could list only five Surgisphere employees—all but Desai apparently lacking a scientific or medical background—if the company really provides software to hundreds of hospitals to coordinate the collection of sensitive data from electronic health records.
  • Desai’s spokesperson responded to inquiries about the company by saying it has 11 employees and has been developing its database since 2008.
  • The potential of hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID-19 has become a political flashpoint, and the questions around the Lancet paper have provided new fodder to the drug’s supporters. French microbiologist Didier Raoult, whose own widely criticized studies suggested a benefit from the drug, derided the new study in a video posted today, calling the authors “incompetent.” On social media, some speculated that the paper was part of a conspiracy against hydroxychloroquine.
  • Chaccour says both NEJM and The Lancet should have scrutinized the provenance of Surgisphere’s data more closely before publishing the studies. “Here we are in the middle of a pandemic with hundreds of thousands of deaths, and the two most prestigious medical journals have failed us,” he says.

The Holistic Patient Journey_HealthVerity-Evidation Webinar.mp4 - 0 views

  •  
    DeAunne Denmark, MD. Phd "This is a good recent webinar with some details about how their platform works on both patient and enterprise sides, and frames why "context" is so important, and how it can be analyzed as a part of imperfect, complex real-world datasets. Drives home that the types of analytics needed for this are actually not new - used extensively already on consumers for marketing, sales, etc. and have been for awhile. Also good segment about patient consent and data rights - values, integrity, respect."
