This course provides useful templates and resources, to build your communications toolkit, including:
- An Audience Influencer Map to pinpoint exactly who your audience is (so you can determine how to best meet them where they are and reach them).
- A fun, interactive Messaging "Mad Lib" which gamifies the process of translating your technical data and research methods into compelling stories and effective messaging points.
- Downloadable Tools and Handouts to help you develop the appropriate collateral, which resonates with your target audience.
Join us May 1-15, 2024 for this unique virtual offering.
We are pleased to announce a Spring offering of AcademyHealth's Communicating for Impact course, designed to help researchers sharpen their communication skills and grab the attention of health system leadership, media, policymakers, funders, and other end users. Strategic communication is a key aspect of moving evidence into action. There’s nothing worse than painstakingly producing a body of work only for it to go unseen by the stakeholders who could benefit from it the most. Through the use of real-world scenarios, toolkits, and live calls with leading experts, enrollees will obtain the skills to effectively disseminate their work for maximum impact. Join us May 1, 8, and 15 for this unique virtual offering. View the May course syllabus here. |

May 1, 2024 - May 15, 2024 @
Communicating and disseminating research to drive impact is one of the top professional challenges for health services and health policy researchers, as reported in a 2021 survey AcademyHealth conducted. It’s not surprising that this challenge has risen in importance among the research community as political and market forces have increased their demand for action-oriented evidence that decision makers can quickly put into practice. Policymakers are no longer satisfied with research that simply documents a problem. For example, as detailed in a 2014 report, there has been an increasing emphasis on solutions-focused health equity research and a decrease in the proportion of studies that aim solely to detect health.
It’s clear that traditional research practices based on maxims such as “publish or perish” are not sufficient to overcome today’s challenges. Indeed, while nearly 2 million peer-reviewed articles are published each year, even academics report only reading about 200 of them. You can imagine for busy decision makers across all industries and realms of influence, this number would be even lower. Even if people do read peer-reviewed work, a study found that traditional research takes 17 years to impact health care (Morris et al, 2011). Not only are the traditional mediums for disseminating research not sufficiently accessible or timely, but the way in which research is framed and messaged often falls short. As Aaron Caroll noted in a New York Times article on the subject: “Dropping knowledge from on high — which is still the modus operandi for most scientists — doesn’t work.”
Unfortunately, most researchers are not trained to communicate their findings beyond these typical mediums and in these traditionally objective manners. The good news is that our research community acknowledges this gap in knowledge, as demonstrated by the 2021 survey results, and are turning to their professional associations to help bridge that skill gap.
To design a program to upskill investigators, we put together a multi-disciplinary team to develop and launch a suite of professional development offerings aimed at addressing the practical skills needed by our community. Based on the insights from a steering committee, survey and focus groups, and drawing from our staff’s expertise on strategic communication, we designed Communicating for Impact, an online 3-week course aimed at developing a deep understanding of three key things:
- Who the audience is and what they need;
- How to craft messaging that resonates with that audience; and
- Which channels are best to reach their audiences with that messaging.
We held our first pilot offering of the communications course in July 2022. Since then, we’ve sold out 5 additional offerings, representing more than 200 researchers from a variety of institutions from government agencies, leading academic institutions, and health care systems.
A sampling of feedback from graduates includes:
- “This course was instrumental to shifting the way I think about sharing my science to the non-science community. We are not taught how to effectively share our science to non-academic audiences, and this provides an excellent introduction to shifting the way we can spread our message to wider audiences and create change based upon our own work.”
- “This course was incredibly helpful and provided me a toolkit for communication that was manageable and effective. I have never had training in this area before and I think it will make a meaningful difference in my ability to disseminate research findings and work with decision-makers.”
- “This course offered practical, thoughtful strategies to enhance communication with partners, stakeholders, media, and funders. In particular it challenged me to step back from my typical research presentation to consider how to best frame the message for different audiences, and how to use alternate strategies to present the message.”
The Communicating for Impact course results in researchers who can identify and define their target audience, translate complex findings into actionable insights for busy decisionmakers, and are adept at leveraging non-traditional communication channels such as social media, policy briefings, and media interviews to ensure their work reaches the people who can use it most.

AcademyHealth’s Communicating for Impact course
AcademyHealth’s Communicating for Impact course
May 1, 2024 - May 15, 2024 @
Communicating and disseminating research to drive impact is one of the top professional challenges for health services and health policy researchers, as reported in a 2021 survey AcademyHealth conducted. It’s not surprising that this challenge has risen in importance among the research community as political and market forces have increased their demand for action-oriented evidence that decision makers can quickly put into practice. Policymakers are no longer satisfied with research that simply documents a problem. For example, as detailed in a 2014 report, there has been an increasing emphasis on solutions-focused health equity research and a decrease in the proportion of studies that aim solely to detect health.
It’s clear that traditional research practices based on maxims such as “publish or perish” are not sufficient to overcome today’s challenges. Indeed, while nearly 2 million peer-reviewed articles are published each year, even academics report only reading about 200 of them. You can imagine for busy decision makers across all industries and realms of influence, this number would be even lower. Even if people do read peer-reviewed work, a study found that traditional research takes 17 years to impact health care (Morris et al, 2011). Not only are the traditional mediums for disseminating research not sufficiently accessible or timely, but the way in which research is framed and messaged often falls short. As Aaron Caroll noted in a New York Times article on the subject: “Dropping knowledge from on high — which is still the modus operandi for most scientists — doesn’t work.”
Unfortunately, most researchers are not trained to communicate their findings beyond these typical mediums and in these traditionally objective manners. The good news is that our research community acknowledges this gap in knowledge, as demonstrated by the 2021 survey results, and are turning to their professional associations to help bridge that skill gap.
To design a program to upskill investigators, we put together a multi-disciplinary team to develop and launch a suite of professional development offerings aimed at addressing the practical skills needed by our community. Based on the insights from a steering committee, survey and focus groups, and drawing from our staff’s expertise on strategic communication, we designed Communicating for Impact, an online 3-week course aimed at developing a deep understanding of three key things:
- Who the audience is and what they need;
- How to craft messaging that resonates with that audience; and
- Which channels are best to reach their audiences with that messaging.
We held our first pilot offering of the communications course in July 2022. Since then, we’ve sold out 5 additional offerings, representing more than 200 researchers from a variety of institutions from government agencies, leading academic institutions, and health care systems.
A sampling of feedback from graduates includes:
- “This course was instrumental to shifting the way I think about sharing my science to the non-science community. We are not taught how to effectively share our science to non-academic audiences, and this provides an excellent introduction to shifting the way we can spread our message to wider audiences and create change based upon our own work.”
- “This course was incredibly helpful and provided me a toolkit for communication that was manageable and effective. I have never had training in this area before and I think it will make a meaningful difference in my ability to disseminate research findings and work with decision-makers.”
- “This course offered practical, thoughtful strategies to enhance communication with partners, stakeholders, media, and funders. In particular it challenged me to step back from my typical research presentation to consider how to best frame the message for different audiences, and how to use alternate strategies to present the message.”
The Communicating for Impact course results in researchers who can identify and define their target audience, translate complex findings into actionable insights for busy decisionmakers, and are adept at leveraging non-traditional communication channels such as social media, policy briefings, and media interviews to ensure their work reaches the people who can use it most.

AcademyHealth’s Communicating for Impact course
AcademyHealth’s Communicating for Impact course
May 1, 2024 - May 15, 2024 @
Communicating and disseminating research to drive impact is one of the top professional challenges for health services and health policy researchers, as reported in a 2021 survey AcademyHealth conducted. It’s not surprising that this challenge has risen in importance among the research community as political and market forces have increased their demand for action-oriented evidence that decision makers can quickly put into practice. Policymakers are no longer satisfied with research that simply documents a problem. For example, as detailed in a 2014 report, there has been an increasing emphasis on solutions-focused health equity research and a decrease in the proportion of studies that aim solely to detect health.
It’s clear that traditional research practices based on maxims such as “publish or perish” are not sufficient to overcome today’s challenges. Indeed, while nearly 2 million peer-reviewed articles are published each year, even academics report only reading about 200 of them. You can imagine for busy decision makers across all industries and realms of influence, this number would be even lower. Even if people do read peer-reviewed work, a study found that traditional research takes 17 years to impact health care (Morris et al, 2011). Not only are the traditional mediums for disseminating research not sufficiently accessible or timely, but the way in which research is framed and messaged often falls short. As Aaron Caroll noted in a New York Times article on the subject: “Dropping knowledge from on high — which is still the modus operandi for most scientists — doesn’t work.”
Unfortunately, most researchers are not trained to communicate their findings beyond these typical mediums and in these traditionally objective manners. The good news is that our research community acknowledges this gap in knowledge, as demonstrated by the 2021 survey results, and are turning to their professional associations to help bridge that skill gap.
To design a program to upskill investigators, we put together a multi-disciplinary team to develop and launch a suite of professional development offerings aimed at addressing the practical skills needed by our community. Based on the insights from a steering committee, survey and focus groups, and drawing from our staff’s expertise on strategic communication, we designed Communicating for Impact, an online 3-week course aimed at developing a deep understanding of three key things:
- Who the audience is and what they need;
- How to craft messaging that resonates with that audience; and
- Which channels are best to reach their audiences with that messaging.
We held our first pilot offering of the communications course in July 2022. Since then, we’ve sold out 5 additional offerings, representing more than 200 researchers from a variety of institutions from government agencies, leading academic institutions, and health care systems.
A sampling of feedback from graduates includes:
- “This course was instrumental to shifting the way I think about sharing my science to the non-science community. We are not taught how to effectively share our science to non-academic audiences, and this provides an excellent introduction to shifting the way we can spread our message to wider audiences and create change based upon our own work.”
- “This course was incredibly helpful and provided me a toolkit for communication that was manageable and effective. I have never had training in this area before and I think it will make a meaningful difference in my ability to disseminate research findings and work with decision-makers.”
- “This course offered practical, thoughtful strategies to enhance communication with partners, stakeholders, media, and funders. In particular it challenged me to step back from my typical research presentation to consider how to best frame the message for different audiences, and how to use alternate strategies to present the message.”
The Communicating for Impact course results in researchers who can identify and define their target audience, translate complex findings into actionable insights for busy decisionmakers, and are adept at leveraging non-traditional communication channels such as social media, policy briefings, and media interviews to ensure their work reaches the people who can use it most.
Registration for this year’s offering is currently open, but space is limited. Learn more and secure your spot here.

Combining Casual Inference with Decision-Analytic Modeling - Correcting for Treatment Switching Bias in Clinical Trials
May 16, 2024
Zoom
SMDM Tutorial Webinar - 16 May 2024
07.00 PDT | 10.00 EDT | 12.00 UTC | 16.00 CEST 1.5 hours
The aim of this webinar is to show how causal inference methods and decision-analytic modeling can be combined to correct for bias in empirical studies.
The webinar consists of two parts, followed by a Q&A:
-
In Part 1, we give a brief introduction to the toolbox of causal inference for observational studies and randomized controlled trials, including causal graphs, target trial emulation, g-methods, and the use of decision-analytic modeling to address causal research questions.
-
In Part 2, we demonstrate the application of causal modeling to correct for treatment switching bias in a randomized clinical trial of ovarian cancer treatment.
This webinar complements a methodological research paper published in Medical Decision Making:
Kuehne F, Rochau U, Paracha N, Yeh JM, Sabate E, Siebert U. Estimating Treatment-Switching Bias in a Randomized Clinical Trial of Ovarian Cancer Treatment: Combining Causal Inference with Decision-Analytic Modeling. Medical Decision Making. 2022;42(2):194-207. doi: 10.1177/0272989X211026288.
Presented by:
Felicitas Kune, MSc., Dr.phil UMT TIROL - University for Health Sciences and Technology, Austria Pfizer Pharma GmbH, Germany

Practical AI: Adding Insight to the Patient Journey with Digital Phenotyping
|

Thursday, May 23, 2024
11:00 am ET | 5:00 pm CET
|
|
|
In this webinar, Dr. Joseph Zabinski will discuss the digital phenotyping process and several concrete applications to demonstrate how AI can add value to analyses of the patient journey across the life sciences spectrum.
Real-world data provide insight into patient journeys, including around diagnosis, progression, and treatment. These insights are limited by what’s available in the data, and traditional techniques can leave key questions unanswered. AI-powered Digital phenotyping uses real-world data to isolate ‘fingerprints’ – patterns of information shared by patients with a characteristic of interest – that we can use to better identify and understand key patient subgroups.
|
Key topics:
- Demystify AI and demonstrate its application alongside other methods of real-world data analysis
- Understand how AI can be applied to real-world data to create digital ‘phenotypes’ for target patient groups
- Review examples of digital phenotyping adding insight to patient journey analyses inaccessible through other means
- Evaluate the utility of digital phenotyping for answering questions around diagnosis, progression, and treatment
