Institute of Medicine Consensus Study on Accessible and Affordable Hearing Health Care for Adults
|
Meeting/ Workshop
|
CDC, FDA
|
NIDCD, NIA
|
The IOM proposes to establish an ad hoc committee that will address how to improve accessibility to and affordability of hearing health care (HHC) for adults, with a focus on nonsurgical devices and services. The IOM will consider HHC from the health care and population health perspective, including the regulatory environment, access, and affordability.

|
The Society for Prevention Research (SPR) envisions a wellness-oriented society in which evidenced-based programs and policies are continuously applied to improve the health and wellbeing of its citizens. The SPR Annual Meeting provides unique opportunities to advance this vision by providing an integrated forum for the exchange of new concepts, methods, and results from prevention and public health-related research, and communication between scientists, public policy leaders and practitioners concerning the implementation of evidence-based preventive interventions.

Inter-agency Adult Literacy Research Group

NICHD
|
Inter-agency working group highlights adult literacy activities within and across departments and agencies to inform inter-agency understanding of proposed and ongoing efforts focused on adult literacy (research and practice) and to facilitate enhanced communication, cooperation and coordination (as appropriate) across the federal government. • Recent activities have been led by the US Dept. of Education (specifically the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education and National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences) to highlight and disseminate findings from the recent Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The PIAAC provides a snapshot of adult’s skills in literacy, numeracy and problem solving in an electronic context and gives both a national and international viewpoint on the competencies of adults. The engagement activities have been important to translate the implications of the findings to research, policy and practice audiences across the federal government. Also, these offices have proactively been meeting and working with federal partners to convey and understanding of upcoming reports that will focus on adult populations of particular interest to NIH – incarcerated populations, young adults and older adults. The PIAAC includes information that provides insight into the link between adult competencies, education and health important to the mission of NIH. The partners at ED have explicitly engaged with audiences at NIH around the linkage to health in the current PIAAC and thinking forward to the next planned assessment in approximately 8-10 years.

This education collaborative facilitates sharing interactions among professional societies, agencies, and health systems. It intends to enhance the accrual of knowledge and skill among practitioners applying genomic results to clinical care. In its start-up phase, the ISCC focused primarily on physicians and dentists. It has since expanded to engage and collaborate with allied practitioner groups such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, genetic counselors, and nurses comprising integrated health care teams. It will continue to add other relevant professions and add to the reviewed and searchable educational resources on its website.

NLM collaborated with the CDC National Center for Health Statistics to convert the CDC''s, "Health US in Brief", to interactive form, which can be viewed using NLM''s Panorama software. In addition, another important document was converted to interactive form--a Data Brief called Death in the United States. Interactive Publications are scientific multimedia documents that give readers more information from an article than is available in the published form (electronic or print) by enabling interaction with the included media (tables, graphs, images, videos, biomedical image studies, etc.). NLM conducts research into models for highly interactive multimedia documents that could transform the next generation of publishing in biomedicine. We focus on the standards, formats, authoring and reading tools necessary for the creation and use of such interactive publications that, in addition to text, contain media objects relevant to biomedical research and clinical practice: video, audio, bitmapped images, interactive tables and graphs, and clinical digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images such as x-rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.

The Interagency Artificial Pancreas Working Group is a group of multi-disciplined scientists and clinicians from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the NIH to support the Artificial Pancreas Initiative. The goals of this initiative are to provide infrastructure for narrowing the gap between basic biomedical knowledge and clinical application of novel technologies, and to cross-fertilize and partner with stakeholders in order to identify and overcome the clinical and scientific challenges to the development of an artificial pancreas. Through collaborative efforts, such as workshops, the group strives to develop innovative strategies to achieve their goals.
