  Abstract

  OBJECTIVE: Although biomedical informatics has multiple roles to play in addressing the climate crisis, collaborative action and research agendas have yet to be developed. As a first step, AMIA's new Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group held a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? during the AMIA 2023 Fall Symposium to define an initial set of areas of interest and begin mobilizing informaticians to confront the urgent challenges of climate change.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The AMIA Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group (at the time, an AMIA Discussion Forum), the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI), and the Regenstrief Institute hosted a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? on November 11, 2023, during the AMIA 2023 Annual Symposium (New Orleans, LA, USA). Using an affinity diagramming approach, the mini-summit organizers posed 2 questions to 50 attendees (40 in-person, 10 virtual).RESULTS: Participants expressed a broad array of viewpoints on actions that can be undertaken now and areas needing research to support future actions. Areas of current action ranged from enhanced education to expanded telemedicine to assessment of community vulnerability. Areas of research ranged from emergency preparedness to climate-specific clinical coding to risk prediction models.DISCUSSION: The mini-summit was intended as a first step in helping the informatics community at large set application and research priorities for climate, health, and informatics.CONCLUSION: The working group will use these perspectives as it seeks further input, and begins to establish priorities for climate-related biomedical informatics actions and research.

• Leadership and Impostor Syndrome in Surgery. Journal of the American College of Surgeons Iwai, Y., Yu, A. Y., Thomas, S. M., Fayanju, O. A., Sudan, R., Bynum, D. L., Fayanju, O. M. 2023

  Abstract

  Impostor syndrome is an internalized sense of incompetence and not belonging. We examined associations between impostor syndrome and holding leadership positions in medicine.A cross-sectional survey was distributed to US physicians from 6/2021-12/2021 through medical schools and professional organizations. Differences were tested with the chi-square test and t-test for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with holding leadership positions and experiencing impostor syndrome.2183 attending and retired physicians were included in the analytic cohort; 1471 (67.4%) were in leadership roles and 712 (32.6%) were not. After adjustment, male physicians were more likely than women to hold leadership positions (OR=1.4, 95% CI 1.16-1.69; p<0.001). Non-US citizens (permanent resident or visa holder) were less likely to hold leadership positions than US citizens (OR=0.3, 95% CI 0.16-0.55; p<0.001). Having a leadership position was associated with lower odds of impostor syndrome (OR=0.54, 95% CI 0.43-0.68; p<0.001). Female surgeons were more likely to report impostor syndrome compared to male surgeons (90.0% vs 67.7%; p<0.001), an association that persisted even when female surgeons held leadership roles. Similar trends were appreciated for female and male non-surgeons. Impostor syndrome rates did not differ by race/ethnicity, including among those underrepresented in medicine, even after adjustment for gender and leadership role.Female physicians were more likely to experience impostor syndrome than men, regardless of specialty or leadership role. While several identity-based gaps persist in leadership, impostor syndrome among racially minoritized groups may not be a significant contributor.

• Climate change and health informatics: pilot survey of perspectives across the field. Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA Sarabu, C., Deonarine, A., Leitner, S., Fayanju, O., Fisun, M., Nadeau, K. 2022

  Abstract

  OBJECTIVE: Establish a baseline of informatics professionals' perspectives on climate change and health.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anonymized survey sent to 9 informatics listservs March 31, 2022 to April 15, 2022.RESULTS: N=85 participants completed part or all of survey. Majority of participants worked at hospitals with 1000+ employees (73%) in urban areas (60%) in the United States. Respondents broadly reported general understanding of climate change and health (51%), but 71% reported unfamiliarity with technologies that could help clinicians and informaticians address the impacts of climate change. Seventy-one percent of surveyed wanted climate-driven environmental health information included in EHRs. Seventy-six percent of respondents reported that informaticians should be involved in institutional decarbonization. Seventy-eight percent of respondents felt that it was extremely, very, or moderately important to receive education on climate change.DISCUSSION: General consensus on need to engage informaticians in climate change response, but gaps identified in knowledge dissemination and tools for adaptation and mitigation.CONCLUSION: Informaticians broadly concerned about climate change and want to be engaged in efforts to combat it, but further education and tool development needed.

• Rotation in a Smoking Cessation Clinic Improves Nicotine Dependence Treatment Provided by First-Year Internal Medicine Trainees. Family medicine O'Sullivan, M. M., Hoskote, S. S., Lesko, M. B., Mallozzi, C. M., Lee, Y. I., Fayanju, O. A., Haller, D., Rashad, M. A., Khusainova, E., Fortune, D., Mathew, R., Van Tassel, C., Fried, E. D. 2016; 48 (6): 472-6

  Abstract

  Over 70% of smokers visit a physician annually, and physicians are well-positioned to assist patients in smoking cessation. Residency offers the ideal setting to train physicians in best practices for treatment of nicotine dependence. We hypothesized that experiential learning during a smoking cessation medical clinic (SCMC) rotation would be associated with an improvement in smoking cessation practice of internal medicine (IM) interns in outpatient primary care and inpatient settings.This was a prospective study performed at a large university-affiliated hospital. Forty IM interns rotated through SCMC. After a lecture on nicotine addiction and treatment, interns treated SCMC patients under direct supervision of an attending pulmonologist. Interns' smoking cessation practices before and after SCMC rotation were evaluated through chart review over 1 year. Upon study completion, a survey to assess confidence was administered. Paired t tests measured changes in rates of identifying smokers, offering pharmacological treatment and counseling.A total of 5,622 outpatient and 683 inpatient charts of interns' encounters with patients were reviewed. Following SCMC rotation, there was an increase in identifying active smokers (7.1% versus 18.7%), prescribing therapy for smoking cessation (6.5% versus 18.0%), and providing counseling (30.9% versus 42.3%) to outpatients. For inpatients, there was an increase in nicotine replacement during admission (12.9% versus 37.4%) and prescription of therapy upon discharge (5.7% versus 16.1%). Interns reported confidence in providing appropriate counseling and treatment.SCMC experience positively impacted smoking cessation treatment by IM interns, causing a measurable change in their practice.
