This document provides an introduction to research data management. It discusses what constitutes research data, the importance of managing data, and factors to consider such as documentation, metadata, data sharing and archiving. It also outlines the University of Oxford's policy on research data management and available support services to assist researchers in developing data management plans and ensuring the long-term preservation and sharing of research data.
Survey of research data management practices up2010digschol2011heila1
An analysis of data management practices at a large South African university was conducted through interviews with researchers and students to identify needs and challenges. The findings showed that while data collection methods vary, data storage is often ad hoc with no centralized support or resources. Researchers expressed a need for a central university server or repository for secure data storage and assistance with time constraints. It was concluded that a formal research data management program and staff support are needed to improve current practices.
On December 8, 2008, Bill Appelbe, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientist of the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC) in Australia, was in Calgary to give a special presentation to Cybera’s members. The talk, which was broadcast over videoconference to members in Edmonton and Lethbridge, focused on changing trends in cyberinfrastructure development.
Similar to Cybera, VPAC is a state-based research service provider to industry, academia and government. Appelbe's presentation highlighted the growing number of partnerships developing between VPAC and industry partners.
The document discusses the importance of good data management practices for reasons such as ensuring reproducibility of research, accelerating scientific discovery, and giving proper credit to data sources. It provides an overview of best practices for data management, including using informative file naming and organization, creating detailed metadata, employing controlled vocabularies and ontologies, utilizing database and file management tools, and sharing data through appropriate repositories. The presenters are experts on data management who aim to help researchers overcome common frustrations and adopt better strategies.
Original Standardized Patient (SP) Cases represent a costly, time intensive collaboration between staff, physicians and course directors, as such these documents are updated and repurposed numerous times. How do we track those changes? Are we able to find the case version we need when we need it? When I create or update an SP case how would others be able to find and identify that specific case when I needed?

The document summarizes the reorganization of knowledge and information services at The Ohio State University Health Sciences Center. Key organizations and service points were consolidated into a new Center for Knowledge Management to better serve the needs of customers based on feedback. The reorganization aimed to create, use, and share knowledge through centralized services, technology support, and resources. It resulted in increased usage and satisfaction through initiatives like a new assistance desk, do-it-yourself stations, and educational programs.
Knowledge management is a concept that has emerged explosively in the business community starting from the 60s and has been discussed extensively in the literature. The essential part of KM is, of course, knowledge. To determine what KM is, it is necessary to distinguish some definitions and concepts.
From a talk to the Workshop on Integrated Strategy on Healthy Living and Chronic Diseases, Ottawa, February 2011.
Knowledge exchange is more than just a compilation or warehousing of data or information. To generate new knowledge we must infuse data with new meaning. We do this not in an additive way from single actions and data-bits, but by creating a story about the overall pattern embedded in events and data and then using that story to understand more clearly the events and data that gave rise to it.
Operations Research: Methods, Challenges, Emerging Lessons, and Opportunities...CORE Group
This document discusses operations research (OR) and provides guidance on choosing an OR concept and methodology. It recommends examining large problems in a small focused way and using evidence to scale up successful innovative ideas. When choosing an OR concept, consider how it could increase access to care and impact key health issues, and whether organizational learnings and experience can support the study. The appropriate methodology depends on the study topic and factors like data availability, technical support, and budget. External partners can help refine ideas, and field trips are valuable. Working through uncertainties around security, literacy, staffing, and gender issues is important. Afghanistan's use of mHealth technologies is mentioned.
This document discusses using threshold concepts to teach information literacy. It begins by defining threshold concepts as transformative, troublesome, irreversible, and integrative ideas that are key to understanding a subject. The document then examines how medical knowledge poses threshold concepts for patients and how services can help users overcome concepts through activities. These activities include using puzzles, case studies, and adapted materials to make concepts obvious. The goal is to empower users by helping them understand complex information.

This document discusses seven key aspects of managing healthcare quality and safety: 1) seeing reality objectively, 2) understanding how work is actually performed, 3) using data to drive leadership decisions, 4) developing organizational capacity and individual capabilities, 5) cultivating psychological safety, 6) avoiding too many improvement projects, and 7) the importance of personal leadership. It provides references and insights from experts in the field on each of these topics to support healthcare quality improvement efforts.
The document discusses knowledge management strategies and approaches for an organization called EMPHASIS. It recommends establishing communities of practice to share knowledge and experiences. It emphasizes creating and sharing knowledge as critical resources and outlines various knowledge management processes, tools, and techniques to leverage existing knowledge and promote continuous learning within the organization.
Speech Understanding Dictation To Clinical Data - TEPR 2009Nick van Terheyden
Speech Understanding automatically converts the spoken work into structured and encoded clinical data that provides access to relevant diagnostic support, evidence based medicine and real time alerts.
Unlocking the data tucked away in the vast mountain of documents produced as part of delivering care to patients is possible today with Speech Understanding, the next generation of speech recognition technology that not only improves the overall efficiency of the documentation process by producing higher quality, more accurate clinical data but also produces structured encoded clinical data that can populate EMR’s that are crying out for high quality input. This information is encoded using the HL7’s Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and Common Document Types (CDA4CDT).
With knowledge of the meaning the output from Speech Understanding is now able to identify concepts, organize documents into meaningful categories and create a semantically interoperable document .

The document discusses a scholarship recipient's trip to study how other health jurisdictions apply human factors principles in healthcare. Some of the locations visited included hospitals in Paris, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and conferences. The key learnings were that few presentations or organizations demonstrated a thorough understanding of applying human factors concepts to healthcare, and that specialist skills are required to properly incorporate human factors into areas like clinical redesign and medical device procurement.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based nursing practice and how to effectively search for and evaluate evidence. It defines evidence-based practice as using the best available evidence from research to improve clinical practice. A 5-step process is outlined: formulating a question, searching literature, critically appraising evidence, applying evidence to practice, and re-evaluating. Guidance is given on formulating search strategies using PICO and searching various library databases and resources like Cochrane and CINAHL to find relevant evidence to answer clinical questions.
This document discusses evidence-based management and provides examples of how managers can make better decisions using evidence-based practices. It defines evidence-based management as making organizational decisions based on science, valid facts, critical thinking, and ethical considerations. The document outlines five good evidence-based management habits: 1) get evidence into conversations, 2) use relevant scientific evidence, 3) use reliable business facts, 4) become decision aware, and 5) reflect on ethical implications. It provides the example of pilot Chesley Sullenberger who successfully landed a plane in the Hudson River, demonstrating habits of evidence-based decision making.
1. The document discusses building knowledge networks for quality improvement and patient safety in the Irish health service.
2. It emphasizes that networks allow for the exchange of information, contacts, and experience between professionals. This helps disseminate innovation and provide support.
3. The document provides examples of existing networks and resources in Ireland that can be leveraged, such as programs in chronic disease, surgery, and quality improvement. It also discusses challenges around data, IT systems, and culture.
The document discusses the role of an informationist in supporting clinical research teams. It describes how an informationist was integrated into a breast cancer screening study to improve communication within the team about data, articulate technology issues, and enhance the information skills of team members. The informationist developed resources like a data dictionary, conducted literature reviews, and assisted with systematic reviews and knowledge management. The document also discusses how an informationist provided consultation, collaboration, and dissemination services to a community engagement research group by developing best practices guides, tools for knowledge sharing, and measuring research impact.

Editor's Notes
Data – raw factsInformation – data in contextKnowledge – information with experience the Hunch, IntuitiveWisdom – Knowledge with a Cultural, Moral and Philosophical contextDIKW HierarchyDataInformation is data in contextInformation with context and experience is knowledge
There are two men acknowledged to be fathers of KM….Michael Polanyi explored the nature of knowledge and put forth that there are two types of Knowledge….
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems ICD 9CPT codesCreate, Capture, Share, Store, Apply,…KnowledgeThe discipline of enabling individuals, terms and entire organizations to collectively and systematically capture, store, create, share and apply knowledge, to better achieve their objectives. Rob Young
To be successful at KM you need: 1. A good understanding of human behavior and psychology. Most of the problems I have dealt with in KM over the last five years have almost always in some way been related to human behavior or psychology.2. A good understanding of how knowledge and experience is transferred between people and under what conditions.3. A high degree of common sense to ensure practical application of techniques we know that work which allow for more rapid transfer of both knowledge and experience between people.4. To be computer literate enough to understand how IT technologies can be applied to enable rapid knowledge transfer, when and where appropriate, but not over awed by it. Too many people are overly fascinated by online social media technologies but fail to see the limitations, downsides and negative impact such technologies often have on human relations and communication.

First I want to say this poster is regarding electronic documents only, Our paper document have a high level of control and compliance
The Wasson Center had recently experienced increasingly high demands on time and resources caused by internal program growth. These factors have resulted in their scheduled programming and workload doubling in the past year. Subsequently they began looking for ways that would allow them to continue quickly creating and executing high quality Standardized Patient (SP) activities within these new constraints. It was decided to explore the adoption of a Knowledge Management (KM) approach to SP Case creation, management and storage in the hope they could create a uniform structure that would make their documents more accessible while improving time management and reducing information loss caused by employee turnover.A KM approach would allow them to standardize processes via the use of templates, case file naming convention, version control, document control, taxonomy and the creation of a records retention schedule which includes electronic documents. Additionally the process was envisioned as creating a framework for future KM implementation. This project outlines the initial document management assessment and the preliminary identification and implementation of a KM approach to the Center's core documents.
The Practice and Demonstration of;Medical InterviewingPhysical Exam practicing clinical skillshead to toe physicals Diagnosis Health Management Plan
With over 200 active SP Case Scripts updated continually, tailored for diverse demographics, and versioned for different levels of learners, the Wasson Center looked at the benefits to be gained from the adoption of a Knowledge Management approach to document management. It was decided to survey SP Educators to see how they addressed the issues.

KM focuses on the way in which individuals & organizations create, learn, store and share knowledge. It is our hope that collaborative creation, learning, storage and sharing of knowledge will result in added value to our organization.
While software tools may help the process,
To better address concerns outlined in the Center’s document management assessment a staff workgroup was created. Led by management, this group will research, explore and implement Knowledge Management inspired solutions to the Center’s documents beginning with our SP Cases.
