Clinical Research Oriented Workshop (CROW) Meeting: Sept 21, 2023

 

Present:   Justine Dee, Nancy Gell, Juvena Hitt, Amanda Kennedy, Jerry Landau, Ben Littenberg, Jen Oshita, Liliane Savard, Adam Sprouse Blum, Connie van Eeghen (10)

 1.                   Warm Up: Liliane may have sold her house! (which is why she is calling in from her car)

2.                   Liliane’s HCT Article and HCT Poster for the Health Equity Summit and a draft article on our healthcare transition project. The target journal is the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

a.       Liliane is not too happy with the introduction so some advice on cleaning up the message here would be helpful. But the main issue is to cut it from 5800 words down to 4000.

                                                   i.      Using a bird's eye view, what appears redundant or unhelpful in supporting the message around the gaps in research to address healthcare transition here in Vermont?

b.       Poster:

                                                   i.      A lot of text conveying many themes and subthemes; what’s most critical for your message

                                                 ii.      List the 8 themes; pick one

1.       Identify the actionable lessons

                                               iii.      Suggest removing the pie chart, unless needed for the audience

                                               iv.      Emphasize the message: supporting the transition is bigger than just thinking about transition. It requires training, accessibility, HC system supports… (the themes)

                                                 v.      Define accessibility to include communication; consider “sensory accessibility”

                                               vi.      How does each element support HCT

                                              vii.      Use acronyms to maximize efficiency

                                            viii.      Standardize formatting; choose one or two quotes

c.       Paper

                                                   i.      Make the 8^th theme the conclusion – reorganize

                                                 ii.      [More that the recorder missed due to a conflict!]

3.                   Schedule for rest of the month:

a.       TBD
