cover letter explanations Flashcards
lymphoma processes and documents
efiles, echarts, reorg of personnel files
piloting, suggesting, editing docs, meeting with PM’s and experienced RN to develop work instructions and tweak as needed based on team’s feedback
SOP for patient chart construction, editing best practice documents and templates like deviation log (before all of the wonderful templates we have now from the CRU), editing fellow work agreements, etc
Assisting teammates as questions come up and they adjust to the new processes
mentoring CRC’s and DM + resource for entire team
how do I balance:
I’m an incredibly visual learner. So much of what we do on a daily basis is best learned by actually doing a task, so being able to walk the mentee through something on your to-do list, in person, in real time, is a 2-for-1! Things are also constantly changing in clinical research, and there’s so much to learn that you get rusty over time on certain processes, etc. Mentoring can be such an amazing opportunity to stay up-to-date and get constant “refreshers”–there are plenty of days I’m re-learning things right alongside my new teammate
MPH examples
grant proposal: drafting a grant proposal for a childhood obesity intervention at elementary and middle schools and community centers in sections of Philadelphia
Policy development: policy briefs, memos on subjects like food insecurity, childhood lead poisoning in philadelphia, etc
program evaluation: creating an exercise and nutrition intervention and social support program for children at higher risk for childhood obesity and type II diabetes and related illnesses, budget justification to a needs statement to a detailed program plan
CHFC research summary
qualitative eval:
in addition to screening, we held focus groups and coded transcripts of interviews with pediatricians and focus groups to find successes, challenges, impacts and recommendations.
what was the program?
a food insecurity screening was implemented for families of pediatric patients 5 years and under at 3 CHOP clinics, a positive screen for food insecurity = an indicator for other financial hardships and poor child health. If positive, the family would be connected to community resources, financial counseling, or public benefits as needed
what was the outcome?
rate of FI was similar to that of the city of Philadelphia. ~80 families were already enrolled in SNAP but still screened positive, meaning their SNAP benefits were inadequate. ~200 families applicated for benefits or were connected with resources
What’s an integrated service delivery model?
integrated healthcare services = understanding not just the importance of medical ills of a child/family, but the “social ills” too (addressing social and env factors potentially adversely affecting the child’s health)
work with elise
investigating potential barriers to study enrollment and comparing study patient population vs ACC patient population vs Philly area, and potential barriers to study enrollment. Earlier this year we met with Dr. Guerra and the ACC Community Health Educator, Armenta, to discuss what our goals should be and how we begin this project, or if there was an ongoing project we could get involved in. They provided us with resources to look into and we began reviewing the 2019 tumor registry for lymphoma patients by histology, but we did not finalize QI project submission to formally gather data. Unfortunately this project was put on hold a few months ago due to a variety of reasons. We had planned to reconvene this fall which I am still hopeful to do.
Lazarex: how many patients? currently the difficulty had been that the foundation was not accepting CAR-T patients, and many of our CAR-T patients have less generous reimbursement amounts. We were informed recently to start sending CAR-T patient names which is wonderful. Outside of CAR-T, I think our team has referred 10-15 patients but only a handful have started to move through the process.
