To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) process focused on physicians' variability during the pre-treatment peer review processes and assess the impact of the process in the RT work system on patient safety.
Predictive modeling has recently attracted a lot of attention from organizations trying to leverage AI and big data to improve their work processes such as decision-making. However, real-world problems are rarely well-formulated machine learning problems. Practitioners have to supply a well-defined predictive target to operationalize a predictive model. In such cases, they often resort to using observed variables to approximate the actual construct of interest. For example, people have used high sales numbers as a proxy for a good employee. Proxy label selection is a recurring challenge when predictive ML is applied to real-world problems. The purpose of this interview study is to understand how ML practitioners select proxy labels, evaluate proxy labels, and iterate through the different tasks involved.
The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback from patient representatives at UNC Internal Medicine on a set of proposed patient resources and referrals to osteoarthritis resources.
The purpose of this research is to examine how individuals interact with different versions of GPT chatbots to discuss key social issues.
The purpose of the study is to investigate nurses' perceptions of pain management and opioid use in patients who have received nerve blocks. This research aims to explore various aspects related to the utilization of nerve blocks in pain management protocols and the potential implications for opioid prescribing practices. Specifically, the study seeks to: Assess the adequacy of pain management in patients who receive nerve blocks, as perceived by frontline healthcare providers. Evaluate nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of nerve blocks in providing targeted pain relief compared to traditional opioid-based analgesia. Investigate nurses' attitudes towards opioid sparing strategies and whether they believe patients who have received nerve blocks require fewer opioids for pain management. Examine nurses' experiences with and attitudes towards training in pain management, particularly in the context of nerve blocks, to identify potential areas for improvement in professional development. Explore the integration of evidence-based practices into clinical care and the extent to which nerve
We are surveying engineering doctoral students in the US to learn more about what factors lead them to continue or leave their training. We are especially interested in their perceptions of the climate of their programs.
The purpose of this study is to improve the teaching training and teaching support OB/GYN residents receive during their residency. We will use a human-centered design (HCD) approach to create a UNC OB/GYN specific curriculum for resident teaching. The first phase of this project, the Inspiration Phase, gathers information about the current reality of resident teaching. Using this information we will eventually create and implement an effective resident-as-teacher curriculum for OB/GYN residents at UNC.
Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.
To assess patient satisfaction with a Clinical Pharmacist Practitioner (CPP) provider for their mental healthcare
This study is an in-depth, qualitative research study with a longitudinal design that will assess if and how post-traumatic growth and radical healing are experienced among Black/African American youth (ages 13-18) exposed to racial trauma who participate in a YPAR intervention. Our longitudinal qualitative design, with quantitative integrated only for qualitative comparison by group purposes, allows us to explore shared patterns and differences across youth-serving contexts without neglecting person-level factors (i.e., racial identity and racism-related stress) that may impact the experience of post-traumatic growth and radical healing among Black/African American youth exposed to racial trauma. Our approach is grounded in the involvement and perspectives of youth and adult supporters in our respective communities.
