How to work your data project into a health care system: an HD2A story

Niranjan S. Karnik, MD, PhD
University of Illinois Chicago

ABSTRACT:
Translating data science innovations into real-world clinical impact remains a critical challenge in healthcare. This talk presents the story of C-DOSETaP (Chicago Data-Driven OUD Screening, Engagement, Treatment and Prevention) project, a NIDA-funded initiative under the Helping to End Addiction Long-term Data to Action (HD2A) program. Designed to integrate substance use screening and care pathways into electronic health record (EHR) systems, C-DOSETaP is a health system-wide project aiming to enhance clinician decision-making and streamline referrals to addiction treatment in diverse healthcare settings. We will explore the strategic, technical, and cultural considerations required to embed data-driven tools into large healthcare systems, focusing on lessons learned in stakeholder engagement, workflow integration, and sustainability planning. Attendees will gain insight into how collaborative partnerships between clinicians, informatics teams, and implementation scientists can drive the successful adoption of data innovations at the point of care.

ABSTRACT:
Despite the promise of implementation science (IS) to reduce health inequities, critical gaps and opportunities remain in the field to promote health equity. Prioritizing racial equity and anti-racism approaches is critical in these efforts, so that IS does not inadvertently exacerbate disparities based on the selection of frameworks, methods, interventions, and strategies that do not reflect consideration of structural racism and its impacts. Grounded in extant research on structural racism and anti-racism, we discuss the importance of advancing understanding of how structural racism as a system shapes racial health inequities and inequitable implementation of evidence-based interventions among racially and ethnically diverse communities. We provide guidance for application of an anti-racism lens in the field of IS, focusing on select core elements in implementation research, including: 1) Stakeholder Engagement; 2) Conceptual Frameworks, Theories, Models; 3) Development, Selection, Adaptation of Evidence-based Interventions; 4) Evaluation; and 5) Implementation Strategies. We highlight the need for foundational grounding in anti-racism frameworks among implementation scientists to facilitate ongoing self-reflection, accountability, and attention to racial equity, and provide questions to guide such reflection and consideration.
