Optimizing external advisory committee meetings of Clinical and Translational Science Awards through focused pre-review.

External advisory committees (EACs) are critical peer-review meetings that drive improvement at Clinical and Translational Science Award Program Hubs. Despite their ubiquity, evaluations of EAC optimization and effective implementation remain scarce. We present a two-tiered approach to optimizing EAC meetings through (1) in-depth, topically focused "pre-review" meetings comprised of external topic experts and at least one standing "full-board" EAC member, followed by (2) a traditional "full-board" EAC meeting.

Engaging Multidisciplinary Teams to Develop Pragmatic Clinical Practice Guidelines to Support Management of Patients With High-Risk Breast Lesions.

Introduction: We sought to develop clinical guidelines within our multidisciplinary Breast Center to support decision-making for managing high-risk breast lesions. The objective is to describe the process used to develop these guidelines and assess perceived acceptability.

Methods: We recruited clinical stakeholders to identify key "high-risk" topics.

Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness of an EHR-Embedded AI Screener for Identifying Hospitalized Adults at Risk for Opioid Use Disorder.

Unlabelled: Hospitalized adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at high risk for adverse events and rehospitalizations. This pre-post quasi-experimental study evaluated whether an AI-driven OUD screener embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) was non-inferior to usual care in identifying patients for Addiction Medicine consults, aiming to provide a similarly effective but more scalable alternative to human-led ad hoc consultations. The AI screener analyzed EHR notes in real-time with a convolutional neural network to identify patients at risk and recommend consultation.
