Spring 2023 Discovery Clinical Investigators Meeting 

What’s Next for ICU Research? 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers developed methods and technology to open new avenues of investigation. Now that these new tools are available, how else can they be used? What’s next for ICU research? 

This two-hour Clinical Investigators Meeting will focus on these questions and more. Proposals will cover such topics as: 

  • Exploring the uses of emulated clinical trials and patient-centered outcomes

  • How machine learning can be used to prioritize critical patient care

  • The benefits of multinational research groups and how to create them

This free meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Let SCCM know you’re coming. RSVP now!

April 10, 2023

Agenda

Theme: New Health Information Technologies Implementation: Who, How, Why, and What?

Advances in electronic medical records, clinical informatics, and artificial intelligence impact patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems. Widespread implementation of health information technology solutions has been limited because of a lack of knowledge about implementation methods and end results. The upcoming Discovery Clinical Investigators Meeting will focus on implementation science and how to bring best practices to the ICU bedside.
