2019-2022
In response to the emerging COVID-19 public health emergency in March 2020, Medical University of South Carolina rapidly implemented an analytics-enhanced remote patient monitoring (RPM) program with state-wide reach for SARS-CoV-2-positive patients. Patient-reported data and other analytics were used prioritize sickest patients contact by RPM nurses, enabling a small cadre support ambulatory providers urgent care video visits, oversee 1234 patients, many whom older, from underserved...
Low-accruing clinical trials delay translation of research breakthroughs into the clinic, expose participants to risk without providing meaningful insight, increase cost therapies, and waste limited resources. By tracking patient accrual, Clinical Translational Science Awards hubs can identify at-risk studies provide them support needed reach recruitment goals maintain financial solvency. However, accrual has proved challenging because relevant patient- protocol-level data often reside in...
Integrated, real-time data are crucial to evaluate translational efforts accelerate innovation into care. Too often, however, needed fragmented in disparate systems. The South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research Institute at the Medical University of (MUSC) developed and implemented a universal study identifier-the Master Identifier (RMID)-for tracking research studies across systems warehouse-inspired model-the Integrated Network Systems (RINS)-for integrating from those systems.In...
SPARCRequest© (Services, Pricing, & Application for Research Centers) is a web-based research management system that provides modular and adaptable "electronic storefront" research-related services. Developed by the South Carolina Clinical Translational Institute at Medical University of Carolina, it was released as open source (OS) code in 2014. The adoption accelerated 2016, when, to ensure responsiveness needs partners, its governance also became open. This model enables OS partners...
The Science Writing Initiative for Trainees is a science communications internship program biomedical graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the Medical University of South Carolina. Interns serve as an amateur press corps, writing news stories releases about recent high-impact research articles. Since 2016, 25 interns have written more than 100 EurekAlert! that received half million views. learn to explain across translational spectrum convey findings in plain language lay audience,...
