Weekly Roundup – May 13, 2023
Welcome to our Healthcare IT Today Weekly Roundup. Each week, we’ll be providing a look back at the articles we posted and why they’re important to the healthcare IT community. We hope this gives you a chance to catch up on anything you may have missed during the week. With Data Quality, We’re Still Learning the Lesson Charles Babbage Taught Us in 1821. Two centuries ago, the Englishman introduced the world to the concept of Garbage In, Garbage Out. At HIMSS23, Colin Hung tuned in to a session with Charlie Harp at Clinical Architecture and learned that providers have little trust in the patient data they collect ...

Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy Research Agenda: Rationale for the Development and the Intent for Use
J Geriatr Phys Ther. 2022 Apr-Jun 01;45(2):76-79. doi: 10.1519/JPT.0000000000000341.ABSTRACTThe rationale for the development and the intent for use of a research agenda for the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy is described. The reasons for the research agenda for geriatric physical therapy are (1) to have a broad representation of the research conducted by physical therapist(s) working with older adults, (2) to provide guidance and assistance to emerging investigators to aid the trajectory of a research career, and (3) as a document to engage potential funding agencies, foundations, and individuals in support of phys...

Stratified care to prevent chronic low back pain in high-risk patients: The TARGET trial. A multi-site pragmatic cluster randomized trial
EClinicalMedicine. 2021 Mar 30;34:100795. doi: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2021.100795. eCollection 2021 Apr.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Many patients with acute low back pain (LBP) first seek care from primary care physicians. Evidence is lacking for interventions to prevent transition to chronic LBP in this setting. We aimed to test if implementation of a risk-stratified approach to care would result in lower rates of chronic LBP and improved self-reported disability.METHODS: We conducted a pragmatic, cluster randomized trial using 77 primary care clinics in four health care systems across the United States. Practices were randomly assigne...

Even Where Exercise is Shown to Help, it is Challenging to Identify the Exact Biochemistry Responsible
Physical exercise is good for long term health, and thus the research community is interested in finding ways to recreate its benefits without the need for exertion. The prospect of exercise mimetic drugs should sound like a familiar sort of goal, and it is. This line of development almost exactly recapitulates earlier years of the long-running effort to find ways to recapture the beneficial response to calorie restriction via pharmaceuticals. Both are immensely challenging projects, consuming enormous effort and funding with little to show for it but incremental progress in mapping slices of cellular biochemistry. The sea...

A Path to Personalized Pain Treatment? | Pain Research Forum
Opioids are in crisis. Many physicians and patients say that the medications can be used responsibly to treat chronic pain. Yet experts also warn that prescriptions are out of control and fueling an epidemic of abuse, overdose, and death. Government agencies have responded with tighter regulations, but investigators say the only real solution is to identify the most suitable candidates for opioid treatment: those patients most likely to experience effective analgesia with minimal adverse consequences. In a recent paper, a panel of prominent pain researchers and clinicians outlines a research agenda for ...
