    In the summer of 2019, the closure of Philadelphia’s Hahnemann University Hospital resulted in the largest displacement of residents and fellows in the history of the United States. This session summarizes how the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) became involved in the Hahnemann closing on the heels of releasing the research paper “Healthcare and Digital Credentials: Technical, Legal, and Regulatory Considerations.”

    FSMB is working to promote the acceptance of digital credentials in the licensing and credentialing communities. In this session, FSMB describes the journey to implement portable physician credentials outlined in the research paper, the need for standards, and the current state of digital credentials.

    12:00-12:30pm ET - Variability in Data Presentation in the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE)

    Every year, medical schools across the country spend a significant amount of time composing the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) for graduating students. The MSPE contains data on student performance across the first three years and at times, the early fourth year of medical education. It is one of many important items residency program directors use when selecting incoming interns. 

    Over the past few years, prompted by the 2016 recommendations of the AAMC MSPE Task Force, the medical education community has witnessed a change in the content of the MSPE. As reported by Giang, the majority of US medical schools have adopted the task force guidelines. While this adoption is occurring, wide variability still exists in the actual content and display of data within the MSPE. 

    To better understand the variability we have created a 23-item data abstraction tool to code key MSPE data components. We have already used this tool to evaluate MSPEs written for the 2019 graduates of over 95% of US medical schools. We are now in the process of continuing this analysis for the 2020 graduates. We will present the results of the coding process, focusing on the variations in data presentation in the following areas: 

    1. Clerkship grades, including comparative performance;
    2. Overall comparative performance, including summary adjectives; and
    3. Competency-level performance data. 

    12:30-1:00pm ET - A Generative Case System That Reflects Our Patient Population

    After cataloging the patient demographics in our cardiac and respiratory pre-clerkship course, we recognized a bias towards male patients, and an absence of ethnic descriptors unless clinically relevant. Utilizing a patient case generation system in use at Cumming School of Medicine, we  further developed a mechanism that generated pulmonary function tests that were based on patient height, weight and gender. This allowed us to present students with a limitless supply of pulmonary function test results across a patient population that was reflective of Statscan data for the Canadian population. This intervention has generated 2316 patient cases and is open access.

    This system, cards, in addition to the above material has now generated over 1 million cases. By using a system to manage these variables whenever they are not clinically relevant, we are able to tackle a long standing issue in our curriculum.

    This webinar will discuss how we recognized the bias in our patient case content, and recognize how components of patient case content that can be freed of inherent gender and ethnicity bias. Attendees will be able to see a mechanism for generating patient case content that is based on population statistics.

    12:00-12:30pm ET - A Modest Proposal: mapping out a strategy to extend our XML standards to provide for JSON

    Q: Why bother to translate? XML is mature, robust, and universally understood! A: XML is all these things. It is also brittle, complex, and difficult to implement. It also is heavy in terms of transactional load and processing. This is one of the reasons for the migration of most common platforms and models to tools and language constructs as JSON as the basis for building web APIs.

    Q: Would this mean the discarding of the existing standard? A: Absolutely not! This is an extension of the existing work, not a conversion. The ideal goal would be to allow the choice of delivery in a data transaction to be XML, JSON, or indeed whatever the next generation of lightweight tools turns out to be that we can’t yet foresee. The challenge isn’t the translation to these tools; the really hard work is in the creation of a migration map from the XML to anything else, that will be both flexible and comprehensive.

    Q: OK. But this sounds like a ton of work. Why fix something if it isn’t broken? A: Great question. But it is clear that while the Curriculum Inventory Standard functions for its initial purpose (the AAMC CIR upload), there is quite limited adoption more broadly, whether for additional uses in Medical Education (data interoperability transfer, organizational coordination, data transparency and sharing) or use in other health sciences. The addition of a model for the standard that is based around contemporary web data sharing models provides an entry point for many other potential applications of this and other standards, and positions the MedBiquitous family of standards for broader, more robust adoption and support.

    12:30-1:00pm ET - Innovation is the enemy of Sustaining Effort. Or is it?

    "Work fast and break things" - we've heard this valley mantra so many times in the last decade so as to make it an embarrassing cliché. And it is an approach which is antithetical to the maintenance of the educational enterprise. We make great effort to sustain continuity of experience and process for students (and educators and staff), which means the introduction of innovation, novelty, and risk in the IT enterprise supporting education can be not only disruptive, but severely damaging, with repercussions that stretch far beyond the boundaries of the technology domain. In this discussion, we present some of the challenges of integrating better practices of innovation, experimentation, differentiation and risk into the risk-averse culture of educational technology.

    11:00am-11:30am ET - Driving the Golden Spike that Unites Learning Outcomes with Teaching Activities 

    In 2018, 84% of medical schools reported being in curriculum renewal. Implementation of a modern curriculum, defined by Irby, Cooke, and O’Brien (2010), demands an infrastructure to collect, aggregate, and report student performance data. The long-standing model of medical education (2 years of classroom followed by 2 years of clinical apprenticeship) required little attention to individual students’ progress. Curricular modifications to implement contemporary, outcomes-based education focus on individualization of content and delivery. In this model, data about students’ performance is the unifying element of teaching and learning. This session will present logic and conceptual technical models for curriculum change and explicate the value of data to successfully execute those changes.

    11:30am-12:00pm ET - Data Sharing and Collaboration for Health Professions Education and Credentialing

    Data standards allow us to share and collaborate across silos and systems. We often hear that data standards are intimidating or only for the tech savvy. We want to help demystify what data standards are and how they can help in such a turbulent and unprecedented time. 

    We invite you to come learn about the fundamentals of data standards and how they enable collaboration and sharing for education administration and accreditation; teaching activities and educational content; as well as credentials and certification. The common language that data standards provide improve costs and efficiency which is greatly needed in our current resource limited environment.
