A full day, five topic workshop for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Learn about dementia, practical coping strategies, and early planning.
This talk will attempt to give participants a (very light) idea of data visualization research by breaking down the why, what, how of visual design from the perspectives of cognitive & computer sciences. This brief foray into the academic study of visualization will be followed by a practical example of visualizing cancer prognostic risk. Those attending the talk should expect to learn some guidelines for how to design and appraise a data visualization beginning with problems & data to the final visual presentation. Bring a pen, pencil, or tablet to participate in small exercises.
Join PVN Engagement Leader Karen Estrin and Kate McNamee, from Providence Health, as they talk about strategies and examples of meaningful engagement of patient family partners on your research project.
Ever notice that the best ideas often come from unexpected sources? And that when you feel included and engaged, you do a better job? Do you think teams in which people work well together produce much better results? Do you want to work at the top of your intelligence in a group of people and give the same opportunity to others? If you answered yes to these questions, then Liberating Structures are for you.

Measurement and the effective use of data are cornerstones of any improvement effort, from incremental changes to radical transformations, but it can be difficult to know where to begin. This one-day, in-person workshop on data-driven improvement will explore how data can be used to drive the improvements we wish to see – setting up measurement systems that work, analyzing data to uncover new insights and monitoring improvements over time.

Much of health research seeks to improve health by focussing on the new – new treatments, new evidence etc. In contrast, health decision science seeks to improve health by improving the choices made with available evidence – recognizing uncertainty, complexity, competing values, tradeoffs and cognitive biases can frequently lead to decision errors.
Presenter Nick Bansback will take us through examples of how decision errors that lead to poor choices in our day to day lives, and translate these into areas where decision science has the potential to improve health.
