Research in CTS (formerly CROW) Meeting: January 11, 2024

 

Present:   Justine Dee, Juvena Hitt, Emily Houston, Jerry Landau, Ben Littenberg, Liliane Savard, Connie van Eeghen (7)

1.                   Warm Up: Liliane just moved!

2.                   CvE’s poster on Opioid Rx Patterns for Dartmouth CO-OP PBRN

a.       Background of PBRNs, CO-OP, and NNE CTR funding

b.       Charts: place 0 over gaps (or omit)

                                                   i.      As report, have examples to hand out or tack to board

                                                 ii.      Charts don’t clearly explain what they are

1.       Feasibility usually means what the end user can do

2.       Consider “Proof of concept” rather than feasibility

                                               iii.      Change Outcomes to “Outcome Examples” or “Planned Reports” – when system is operational, reports should look like this

                                               iv.      Relabel boxes: “bar graphs provide ability to see internal patterns” as illustration

1.       Redundant graphs, even though different stories

2.       Consider a different measure graphed, that helps elaborate a trend

3.       Or a between clinic chart

4.       Four graphs: MMEs within and across practices; other measures within and across practices

a.       Each bar is a prescriber

b.       Each bar is a practice

                                                 v.      Other graphs: stacked graphs with other factors, like a dashboard for a practice

c.       Flow:

                                                   i.      Consider moving the green bar to the right

                                                 ii.      Less words

d.       Measures

                                                   i.      Consider removing PEG an ORT as examples

e.       Title: Feasibility study using PDMP data

                                                   i.      Current is too jargony

                                                 ii.      Ussing PDMP data to visualize trends in opioid prescribing – a feasibility study

f.        Message:

                                                   i.      Green box: preliminary data are optimistic but we need more practices to test feasibility

                                                 ii.      Are practices interested in this kind of comparison, or their members

g.       Stakeholders: ask for feedback

3.                   Next meeting: Jan 18 2024, topic TBD
