Medics In Tech’s Post

Are you a medical professional contemplating a shift into the tech industry? As someone who's navigated this path, I've found a few key considerations worth sharing: 1. Passion & Alignment: Identify where your medical expertise meets tech whether it's digital health solutions, data analysis, or medical research. 2. Skill Analysis: Assess your current skills and identify areas for growth, such as coding languages, data analytics, or project management. 3. Networking Essentials: Leverage your network and seek mentors in tech to gain insights and guidance for a smoother transition. 4. Education & Certifications: Consider courses or certifications tailored for healthcare professionals transitioning into tech, offered by platforms like Coursera, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning or professional organizations. 5. Continuous Learning Mindset: Tech is dynamic be prepared to continuously learn and adapt. Stay updated with industry trends, attend webinars, and engage in communities like GitHub or Stack Overflow. Transitioning from Healthcare to tech gives a unique blend of expertise and innovation. Stay curious, keep learning, and embrace the awesome journey ahead! My name is Nurse Collins I am a healthtech expert and I train health care professionals who would like to transition into tech like me. #TechInHealthcare #NurseCollins #MedTech #CareerTransition #HealthTech

Spreading the word about an exciting call for papers in a forthcoming special issue of the Learning Health Systems Journal. Deadline: April 1, 2024   Background: Learning Health Systems welcomes submissions related to how LHS methods can promote public and population health, and the evolution of #publichealth departments as #learninghealthsystems. Papers will undergo peer review and accepted papers will be included in a special issue published in October 2024.   Scope and Description: In theory, public health practice exemplifies a learning health system. The essential services of public health practice comprise a repeating cycle of data, policy, implementation, and reassessment--similar to a learning health system. As in learning health systems, infrastructure is key to success at scale. Rapid cycle innovation to address emerging or complex public health issues is often required. Is public health living up to being a learning health system? If so, how? If not, why not? What factors contribute to the support and evolution of public health as a learning health system?   Articles of interest, including but not limited to: -Defining public health as a learning health system, what is necessary for a public health learning health system, benefits of and barriers to implementing public health through learning health system approaches -Case studies of applied public health as a learning health system; logistical, workforce, and community engagement initiatives; specific projects that exemplify public health as a learning health system -Research exploring the effectiveness of the application of LHS methods to public health -Proposals or calls to action for public health as a learning health system, expanding the concept of the LHS beyond a single public health department, use of public health data for other LHSs and vice versa, public health issues that could be approached as a learning health system, how to engender support for public health departments to be learning health systems -History of public health and its learning health system approach -Technical reports describing infrastructure supporting public health as a learning health system The scope includes local, statewide, regional, or national perspectives. It can include applied public health, academic public health, or community public health. https://lnkd.in/gaMzCVru Charles Friedman

I want to see intelligent healthcare systems that learn, rather than ones that are purely data driven so I was delighted to see 'Data to knowledge to improvement: creating the learning health system', pop up in the BMJ. This article is by Paige L McDonald, Tom Foley and others and it warrants some reflection by #ClinicalEducators, #CIOs, #QualityImprovementLeads #librarians and others as our services become ever more pressurised. "The goal for learning health systems is continuous, intelligent improvement in patient care". Learning health systems depend on learning cycles in which data are captured from practice, turned into knowledge, and then put back into practice. I'm pleased to see recognition of the importance of systematic integration with external evidence, and that existing institutional channels and roles, such as librarians and knowledge management specialists, can coordinate and improve knowledge dissemination. What do others think? And I'm interested in how products like #ClinicalDecisionSupport fit in here, to enrich a true Learning Health System. #learning #data #evidence #Knowledge #TacitKnowledge #PatientCare #PatientEngagement https://lnkd.in/ejXSK9HF

Traditional CME methods often involve lengthy lectures and rigid schedules, making it challenging for healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date. Microlearning offers bite-sized, engaging lessons that empower healthcare professionals to continuously learn, and improve patient outcomes.

In view of the continued growing interest in the #learninghealthsystem by academic and community-based health systems, I was asked recently if I could provide a snapshot of organizations and people who are working in this area. I've also been contemplating the vernacular that we use to talk about the LHS, and the different but related terms we use to describe and advance the LHS concepts (embedded research, delivery system science, learning organization, real-world evidence mobilization, etc.). To this end, I am wondering if you have resources that might be germane to this query? Maybe a #socialnetworkanalysis analysis of the #LHS, to get our collective arms around the connections between people and organizations, or perhaps a taxonomy or directory? Sidenote: I've put a fair amount of information into an LHS Wikipedia page, but as with anything #crowdsourced, it would benefit from additional contributions. Let me know what I'm missing! #healthsystems #health #healthcare Amy Abernethy Robert Califf Erin Holve, PhD Claudia Grossmann Peter Embí, M.D., M.S.

While the importance of quality healthcare education has always been recognized, the content of that education and the need to keep it fresh and relevant have not been sufficiently addressed. We hope to change that discussion by engaging with key stakeholders in healthcare education and clinical practice.   The role of advanced adaptive learning platforms becomes pivotal.   🏥🌐 Our whitepaper delves deep into the impact of adaptive learning on healthcare education, from medical school to continuous professional development. 🔍 Key Highlights: Personalized learning for clinicians at every career stage. Identifying and addressing knowledge gaps to prevent medical errors. Building confidence and competence through adaptive strategies. Lifelong learning for enhanced safety, quality, and effectiveness.   #HealthcareEducation #AdaptiveLearning #LifelongLearning #MedicalInnovation #PersonalizedLearning #AI #eLearning
