[Live Interview] Friday Rounds With Pritika Dasgupta

We discuss using accelerometers to identify people who are a risk of falling, why this "Data Queen" was drawn to biomedical informatics and key aspects of managing chronic conditions while in grad school.

Weekend Reads - Modeling Information Flows in Clinical Decision Support: Key insights for enhancing system effectiveness

We all want our clinical decision support systems (CDSS) to be effective. Metlock et al. (2016) seek to improve the categorization of CDSS effectiveness with a two-stream model of CDSS information flow: the clinical stream (reasoning about the patient) and the cognitive-behavioral stream (reasoning about the user).

Less COWs, better conversation

A JAMA research letter found "a reduction in simultaneous conversations and difficulty hearing" when rounding with fewer computers on wheels. They speculate that without individual access to the patient record, team members turned to the rounding conversation for information, increasing engagement.
