Event Details:

Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Research and Education invites you to the upcoming Integrating Clinical and Translational Science Virtual Visiting Scholar Grand Rounds Lecture on Thursday, July 11 from 11a – 12pm PT via zoom. This is a national grand rounds lecture and is open to faculty, trainees, staff, students and the community. 

 "Natural Language Processing to Identify Heart Failure Hospitalization in the Electronic Health Record" Jonathan W. Cunningham, MD, Assistant Professor, Medicine-CV Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Electronic health record (EHR) data repositories have the potential to accelerate research in heart failure (HF) epidemiology, biology, and policy because of large sample size, long-term follow-up, and granular clinical details. However, imprecise ascertainment of clinical endpoints like HF hospitalization by International Classification of Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes has limited research using EHR datasets. The gold standard for endpoint adjudication, physician review of medical records, is not feasible at the scale of EHR cohorts. Innovation in natural language processing (NLP) now enables training of complex text models with few labeled examples. Our group is applying NLP for automated adjudication of HF hospitalization from discharge summary text. In this talk, I will share our work and discuss the application of artificial intelligence to clinical/translational cardiovascular research.

 

"Enhancing Kangaroo Care among Mother-Infant Dyads in Local and Global Settings" Nisha Fahey, DO, MSc, Assistant Professor, Pediatrics, UMass Chan Medical School.

I will present about my emerging parallel programs of research in the US and India focused on enhancing the practice of Kangaroo Care among mother-infant dyads. This will include findings from a study I conducted in India that highlighted a critical need to support community-based Kangaroo Care after NICU discharge, which informed the focus of my Mentored Career Development Award. I will present findings from my current KL2 study (US-based) and future plans for a K23 study (India-based), which use a community engaged and implementation science approach to conduct a multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) design-based trial to develop culturally adapted, multicomponent interventions that supports community-based Kangaroo Care.
