Dr. Lukasz Mazur recently published an article, titled "Incorporating Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) Into Analysis of Reported Near Misses and Incidents in Radiation Oncology"
Authors: Gregory D. Judy MD, Daniel P. Lindsay MD, Deen Gu MHA, Brandon T. Mullins MD, Prithima R. Mosaly PhD, Lawrence B. Marks MD, Bhishamjit S.Chera MD, Lukasz M. Mazur PhD
Purpose: Human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) is a framework for investigation into causation of human errors. We herein assess whether radiation oncology professionals, with brief training, can conduct HFACS on reported near misses or safety incidents (NMSIs) in a reliable (eg, with a high level of agreement) and practical (eg, timely and with user satisfaction) manner.

RFA: Telehealth for Heart Attack and Stroke in Rural Hospitals
Total award: $950,000
Funded organization: Rural Telehealth Research Center. This is a collaboration between the University of Iowa (lead institution), the University of Southern Maine, and UNC Chapel Hill.
The primary purpose of this project is to examine telehealth for heart attack and stroke in national samples of hospitals. Research questions include (1) What have been the trends in adoption of telehealth services for heart attack and stroke among hospitals since 2010, and what factors have contributed to this trend? (2) What telestroke processes and implementation strategies are in place, and how do these processes and strategies differ across levels of rurality? link

Title: Evaluating the Comparative Effectiveness of Telemedicine in Primary Care: Learning from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Co-PIs: Jessica S Ancker and Rainu Kaushal, Weill Cornell Medicine
UNC Site-PI: Saif Khairat
Award amount: (About) $3 million
Award duration: 2 years
This study aims to examine the comparative effectiveness of different approaches to provide primary care during the widespread transition from in-person to remote visits during the pandemic. The study examines how telemedicine is offered to and experienced by diverse populations as well as telemedicine’s effectiveness on outcomes and disparities among people with chronic conditions. The study uses PCORnet® to examine the impact of telemedicine on patient-centered outcomes and disparities in outcomes for patients with chronic disease at many clinics.
Dr. Lukasz Mazur recently published an article with CHIP doctoral student Karthik Adapa, titled "Impact of Simulation-based Training and Neurofeedback Interventions on Radiation Technologists Workload, Situation Awareness, and Performance"
Authors: Lukasz M.Mazur, Robert Adams, Prithima R.Mosaly, Joseph Nuamah, Karthik Adapa, Lawrence B.Marks
Purpose: To assess the effect of a combined intervention - simulation-based training supported by neurofeedback sessions - on radiation technologists (RTs’) workload, situation awareness, and performance during routine quality assurance (QA) and treatment delivery tasks. Read the full article here.
