He resented his talk "“In search of ground truth: Multiple dimensions and applications of digital phenotypes in health and research informatics”. 

Abstract: Many definitions exist for digital phenotypes depending on the context, from mobile device usage for behavioral health to patient cohort definitions from secondary analysis of electronic health record (EHR) data. The main objective of digital phenotypes is to accurately identify or characterize patients’ states of health with specific medical conditions or who were exposed to specific interventions. However, individual representations of one’s digital phenotype have their own limitations and biases depending on the source of the data making identification of a ground truth a persisting challenge. The use of these data for secondary analysis including predictive modeling algorithms and machine learning tasks propagate the limitations and biases of the source data. This talk will highlight different approaches to digital phenotyping and present opportunities to approach a more accurate ground truth by using multiple sources of patient data, while describing challenges in integrating these data modalities, including when there are conflicts in the data. This talk will focus on projects highlighting unstructured data extracted from clinical notes via natural language processing, structured EHR data, smart phone use data, patient self-report data, as well as environmental data. Clinical contexts of these projects include clinical decision support for appropriate use of imaging studies for headache, monitoring cognitive decline and delirium prevention in dementia, clinical outcomes for children who have experienced traumatic life events, and measurement-based care in early psychosis treatment. These projects will illustrate the different perspectives these data provide and how we might leverage them together to better support clinical decisions, quality of care, and clinical research.

Cohen University Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Computer and Information Science, Pediatrics, and Science Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.Dr. Johnson presented his talk “The Observer project: A BHAG Becoming Less Audacious”.   

Abstract: Recent studies about physician burnout, lack of cognitive support from electronic health records, and poor quality and quantity of physician documentation demonstrate a need for innovative thinking to improve electronic health records in various settings. However, the ability to involve a multidisciplinary academic community is hampered by poor access to data from the settings. Reasons for this poor access are primarily related to restrictions getting into hospital and ambulatory settings, as well as challenges understanding the intended goals versus the actual performance of clinicians and patients during clinical encounters.  

My lab is proposing to address the challenge of poor access by creating an open date a resource of the entire sociotechnical environment in an ambulatory clinic room. This project, called the Observer project, will be discussed, as well some of the interesting people, process, and technical challenges associated with beginning the data collection phase of this project. 

October 4, 2022, 1 to 2:30 pm

Maddrey, MD Distinguished Professor in Clinical Sciences, and Director, Clinical Informatics Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Lehmann presented his talk “Ethical Considerations for the Use of AI”.   

Abstract: Recent advances in the science and technology of artificial intelligence (AI) and growing numbers of deployed AI systems in healthcare and other services have called attention to the need for ethical principles and governance. We define and provide a rationale for principles that should guide the commission, creation, implementation, maintenance, and retirement of AI systems as a foundation for governance throughout the lifecycle. Some principles are derived from the familiar requirements of practice and research in medicine and healthcare: beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice come first. A set of principles follow from the creation and engineering of AI systems: explainability of the technology in plain terms; interpretability, that is, plausible reasoning for decisions; fairness and absence of bias; dependability, including “safe failure”; provision of an audit trail for decisions; and active management of the knowledge base to remain up to date and sensitive to any changes in the environment. In organizational terms, the principles require benevolence—aiming to do good through the use of AI; transparency, ensuring that all assumptions and potential conflicts of interest are declared; and accountability, including active oversight of AI systems and management of any risks that may arise. Particular attention is drawn to the case of vulnerable populations, where extreme care must be exercised. Finally, the principles emphasize the need for user education at all levels of engagement with AI and for continuing research into AI and its biomedical and healthcare applications.

The September 2021 colloquium featured Dr. Ross Koppel, Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the Perelman School of Medicine, Senior Fellow at Penn’s Center for Public Health Initiatives, and Adjunct Professor at Penn’s Sociology Department. Dr. Koppel is known for studying the impact of healthcare information technology on medical practice. His work on EHR usability and the implications of work around has changed the health informatics industry to improve the safety and accuracy of medical records. He presented his talk “EHR Usability: What can be done to make EHRs more efficient?”

Abstract: EHRs have so many extraordinary qualities, advantages, and functionalities. Modern medicine needs them. It’s impossible to think about current healthcare without them. But the people who use them – physicians, nurses, and others – express almost universal frustration with them. Often rage. The problem is so very often about usability. And usability is the absolute first issue raised in studies of burnout. Clinicians are forced to spelunk for data that should be obvious; obliged to scroll and click for too long to find data that should be contiguous. Tests and other results are classified under names that sometimes don’t make sense. Navigation that leaves one unsure how to get back to what you need. Endless tabs that have identical names but different functions in different screens. In contrast, there is established science on the measurement and on the methods of improvement of usability. We know how to make user-interfaces far better than they are. But like Mark Twain’s line about the weather, everyone talks about it but few do anything about it. In this presentation, Ross Koppel will discuss the history of vendors’ relationship with usability efforts. He’ll show examples of screen shots and studies that you’ll find humorous, tragic, and useful to better guide us to less frustrating and more efficient EHRs.

June 29, 2021, 1 to 2:30 p.m.
The June 2021 colloquium featured Adam Wright, Ph.D., Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Director of the Vanderbilt Clinical Informatics Center and Bryan Steitz, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Biomedical Informatics. Dr. Wright presented his talk “Measuring and Monitoring Clinical Decision Support Using Audit Log Data.” Dr. Steitz presented his talk “Evaluating the Work of Managing Clinical Messages Using EHR Access Logs.”

Dr. Wright’s Abstract: Clinical decision support (CDS) has been shown to improve quality and safety when used effectively.  However, effective CDS is challenging, and users often report poor utility of CDS interventions and alert fatigue and proving that CDS has an impact on clinical outcomes has been difficult. EHRs frequently log a large amount of data about CDS firing and performance, but this data is not consistently used or monitored. In this talk, I will present recent research on measurement and monitoring of CDS systems, with a focus on detecting malfunctions, improving CDS and monitoring user feedback.

Dr. Steitz’s Abstract: Electronic health record (EHR)-based asynchronous communication, also known as inbasket messaging, is essential to support clinical practice. Despite the utility, a high volume of messages and the time necessary to manage one’s inbox have been identified as major contributors to job dissatisfaction. Message volume, however, presents a simplified view of the wider task of managing these communications. The breadth of data collected during routine EHR use offers critical insight into the articulation work surrounding clinical messages such that we can improve the task of inbasket management. In this talk, I will present ongoing research using EHR access logs to investigate the articulation work of managing clinical messages, with a particular focus on task interruption and information seeking.

April 27, 2021, 1 to 2:30 p.m.

The cybersecurity of medical devices encompasses a unique and diverse set of security disciplines, combining traditional cyber and privacy principles with a knowledge of basic physiology and common clinical functions. This talk explores the rapidly growing field of medical device security and the evolving role of the security professional, with a focus on the relationship between device security, patient safety and regulatory science. Attacker roles and medical device threat models will be examined through real-world examples of medical systems that have undergone rigorous security analyses as part of the regulatory review process. These case studies will illustrate the unique skill set required of the medical device security professional and the important role they play in the medical device market.
