Under ConstructionEvolving Description of ACTS Collaborative Participant's COVID-19 Knowledge Ecosystem Efforts
Identify Studies | Review Evidence | |
|---|---|---|
Current Approach | · Literature search based on key words. · Awareness of studies from participants in the content workgroup | · Folks on the committee review the studies and highlight relevant content · The relevant content gets collated into shared spreadsheets that organize the content into various COVID topics |
| Pearls/Tips Learned | · None…. we’ve been doing it kind of manually! | · Shared spreadsheets represent an easy way for folks to collaborate and not have version control issues. |
| Desired Approach | · To have a curate list of articles to review every few weeks based on keywords and filters · Needs to have direct links to PDFs. Otherwise, we still have to do the 2nd half of the work, which is finding the PDF. | · A 3rd party would review the studies and give us an output that is summarized key points from the study. · Key data would be extracted and presented in an easy to digest format (table, etc.) |
| Needs to Achieve Desired Approach | Check all that apply _X_Better source/input materials [Details: a curated source of primary studies] __Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data [Details: ] __Other [Details:] | Check all that apply _X_Better source/input materials [Details: A source that had pre-digested studies, highlighting the key points and data] _X_Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data [Details: agree! ] _X_Consistency of outcomes [Details: Standardization of the way information is organized and shared] __Engagement with primary researchers and upstream stakeholders [Details:] __Engagement with decision makers and other downstream stakeholders [Details:] __Other [Details:] |
| Support We Can Provide Other Participants | · We have clinical experts who can help determine the search terms and filters that will be relevant to our use cases. | · We are consuming the content on the backend, so have ideas on how to best structure the information for sharing with all stakeholders. |
Produce Guidance | Make Guidance Computable | |
|---|---|---|
Current Approach | · Assemble a panel of experts in Emergency Medicine to review the COVID literature · Previously, we were having weekly meetings as we were developing the tool · Will be moving to monthly meetings as we move forward with our cadence See here for ACEP/EvidenceCare COVID-19 Severity Classification/Triage/Disposition tool | |
| Pearls/Tips Learned | · Sometimes the hardest part is scheduling meetings. · Potentially move to a more asynchronous model of collaboration that doesn’t require as many meetings. | |
| Desired Approach | · Seamless collaboration of clinical stakeholders to determine best practice approach in a constantly evolving environment. · More asynchronous work processes to optimize efficiency. | |
| Needs to Achieve Desired Approach | Check all that apply __Better source/input materials [Details: ] __Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data [Details: ] _X_ Other [Details: Better collaboration structure to bring parties together consistently] | Check all that apply __Better source/input materials [Details: ] __Common format/terminologies for managing/sharing data [Details: ] __Other [Details:] |
