Session #1: 9:30-10:30

Driving Engagement with Clinical Research at the Point of Care

Daniel Schwartz is an internist, nephrologist and medical educator. His roles include medical director of the Fraser Health renal program, internist at the Royal Columbian Hospital/UBC Clinical Teaching Unit and Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. He has a keen interest in knowledge translation at the point of care and the intersection of information technology with clinical medicine. He built QxMD to address educational gaps discovered during his medical training and teaching positions.

Session # 2: 10:30-11:30

Current Awareness Tools

How do health researchers stay current and save time doing so, what are their needs, and how can we help? Join us for a discussion of current awareness tools and issues related to staying current, including how the tools librarians prefer might be different from what our users find helpful. Our goal is to expand on the morning session by creating a toolkit of ideas and resources that we can explore further or draw on to assist our users.

Session #3: 12:30-2:00

Taking Care of Business: The Clinical Research Data Edition

Take a moment to think about your researchers and the kinds of data they access and/or create.

•  Where is this data stored and how is it organized?
•  If they were asked to share data with another researcher would they be able to make sense of that work?
•  If they needed to locate the data files from 5 years ago, how easy would it be to find and use datasets?
•  What privacy and security controls have they implemented to ensure that they are appropriately safeguarding their data?
•  Is their data governed by legislative requirements? If so, are they required to comply with additional policies and standards when using these datasets?

If you are unsure about the answer to any of these questions you have come to the right place. This workshop will cover the basics of data management plans, metadata and data documentation, data privacy and security, and data sharing. It is designed to support researchers engaging in clinical research to start thinking about the steps they can take to better manage their research data.
