CHIP faculty Lukasz Mazur and CHIP doctoral student, Karthik Adapa recently published, titled "Hospitalist burnout and sociotechnical factors contributing to workplace stress"
Authors: Sara Baker Stokes, Richa Kanwar, Saumya Jain, Karthik Adapa, Samantha Meltzer-Brody and Lukasz Mazur
National studies have shown that almost 50% of physicians experience some manifestations of burnout. Specialties at the front line of healthcare access, including internal medicine, emergency, and primary medicine, show rates higher than national averages (“Changes in Burnout and Satisfaction With Work-Life Integration in Physicians and the General U.S. Working Population Between 2011 and 2017,” Tait D. Shanafelt, Colin P. West, Christine Sinsky, Mickey Trockel, Michael Tutty, Daniel V. Satele, Lindsey E. Carlasare and Lotte N. Dyrbye, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2019). Here is the link.

CHIP NLM-NIH Postdoctoral Fellow, English Sall, published an article titled "Virtual Reality: A Route for Teaching Empathy to Medical Students?"
Authors: Daniel Palazuelos, M.D., MPH, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), and Partners In Health (PIH), Sean M. Noble, Ph.D. student at North Carolina State University (NCSU), and English Sall, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher at the Carolina Health Informatics Program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Doctors who care are better doctors. But how do you get doctors to care? Taking a step back, what makes someone an empathetic person? Some of this is developmental, genetic, and determined by life experiences that cannot be easily undone or replicated. It’s unclear exactly how empathy can be changed, but some early research suggests that perspective taking is a powerful precursor to cognitive empathy, which can compensate for a lack of emotional empathy due to differences in race, ethnicity, religion, or physiology. This is what makes the “clinical rotations” on the wards so transformative; when young students see doctoring in action, listen to and touch patients for the first time, they cease being novices and begin seeing themselves as physicians. Not everything they learn is perfect: they may pick up the corner-cutting habits of their residents to manage the time crunch they face, and they may adopt the curt ways an attending speaks to patients who won’t tell their medical history in concise bullet points. In short, they become a doctor, with all the good and sometimes some of the bad. Continue reading...
CHIP faculty, Rebecca Kitzmiller, Ashok Krishnamurthy, and CHIP Alumna Rachel Stemerman recently published an article at JAMIA. Titled "Identification of social determinants of health using multi-label classification of electronic health record clinical notes"
Authors: Rachel Stemerman, Jaime Arguello, Jane Brice, Ashok Krishnamurthy, Mary Houston, Rebecca Kitzmiller
Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDH), key contributors to health, are rarely systematically measured and collected in the electronic health record (EHR). We investigate how to leverage clinical notes using novel applications of multi-label learning (MLL) to classify SDH in mental health and substance use disorder patients who frequent the emergency department.

2021 
CHIP will be hosting DataAware, our health data analytics research and training program for high school students, from July 6 - August 13, 2021 (UPDATED). The program will take place fully online, but students will still receive the same training and intensive research internship experience as offered in the face-to-face program. Applications will open in the next 1-2 weeks on the dataaware.unc.edu website, and CHIP welcomes applications from current high school sophomores and juniors (as well as exceptional freshmen) in the Research Triangle region. Note: all eligible applicants for the 2020 program, which was canceled due to COVID-19, will shortly receive notification that they may roll over their previous application to the current application cycle. Additionally, we are seeking faculty or postdoc research mentors to lead small teams of student research interns. For more information about the program, applications, or research mentorship, please contact CHIP Program Specialist Claire Paulson at cpauls@email.unc.edu.
