Given this constraint, we propose a framework that views these algorithms as a collection of computational units (cu), a tightly coupled set of both mathematical operations <i>and</i> data. This view facilitates a reduction in RC (RRC), thereby allowing for faster execution plans. Inspired by the floor tiling approach in VLSI, we look to engineer solutions for RRC while possibly reconfiguring the underlying computing system's compiler technology stack. We start by showing that under the assumption that the computational system has unbounded but finite memory (i.e., the memory is large enough to hold all intermediate values) and that each cu has a uniform cost, our approach reduces to a well-studied <i>directed bandwidth problem</i> for the directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Next, we consider a more realistic scenario where the computing system has limited memory and concurrent execution while still assuming a uniform cost. Using a new notion of (<i>r,s</i>) set cover of a DAG (nodes representing computational units and edges representing their interdependencies) we formulate the problem of reducing redundant computational steps in EM as a variation of a directed bandwidth problem. We show that the graph's minimum bandwidth is closely related to memory requirements for studying RRC. Finally, our preliminary experimental results are supportive of the proposed approach for RRC and promising that it can be applied to a broader set of algorithms in decision sciences.</p>","PeriodicalId":93355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Maximum number of participants: 10 AV Equipment: Simulation manikin, control and projector. Sunga1 first described the Live Die Repeat (LDR) simulation format in 2016. LDR uses levels and repetition in a gameplay format to enhance learning. The learner completes a simulation level, either ‘passing’ or ‘failing’ based on their performance against specific level criteria. The group then de-briefs before the learner re-enters the same level to repeat the scenario and implement specific targeted improvements following the debrief. Having completed the level for the second time, the clinical narrative continues onto the next level and learning cycle. Educationally, the format draws upon deliberate practice to re-enforce learning. The original paper was based on the experiences of middle grade emergency medicine physicians in North America. Our seminar will discuss our institutional experience of LDR simulation for UK foundation doctors. Intended learning outcomes Our institution has greatly enjoyed incorporating the LDR format into the simulation programme. By the end of the seminar we would like: participants to be able to describe the LDR format. participants to discuss potential challenges to writing LDR scenarios. participants to discuss potential challenges to managing LDR scenarios. Participants to compare different LDR debriefing strategies. participants to evaluate the comparative benefits and pit–falls of the LDR format.

This uncertainty is caused by a complex interaction of factors related to the use and interpretation of diagnostic information triggering overdiagnosis and subsequently overprescription of antibiotics. Unnecessary use of antibiotics is the main driver for development of antimicrobial resistance; hence it is crucial to identify and understand the determinants for overdiagnosis if we are to curb the overprescription of antibiotics in patients seeking care in general practice. Aim To facilitate discussion and advance understanding of the determinants for overdiagnosis in patients seeking care in general practice with suspected respiratory and urinary tract infection. Methodology The didactic methods used in the workshop will be Case-based learning and the fish bowl technique to promote discussion and gradual participation of all attendees. Program: Lecture: Welcome and explanation of key concepts of the diagnostic process in respiratory and urinary tract infections in general practice – 15 min. Clinical cases: this part will be divided into three sessions, in which a clinical case is presented, afterwards the fish–bowl technique is used to facilitate discussion – 60 min. Two moderators will guide the discussion to secure that at least the following three key question are debated for each case: What are the determinants of overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis in this case? Can we find a solution? Which knowledge is missing in order to find a solution to reduce overdiagnosis and the subsequent overtreatment? Cases: Diagnosis of urinary tract infections in the elderly Diagnosis of acute lower respiratory tract infections Diagnosis of sore throat as the main motive of consultation Plenary: Summary and final discussion – 15 min. Outcome After this workshop the participants will be able to identify: The challenges of the diagnostic process in the most common infectious diseases managed in general practice. The drivers for overdiagnosis and subsequent overtreatment. The potential solutions for reducing overdiagnosis.","PeriodicalId":93355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ... ICPP Workshops on.

Thousands of potentially relevant publications, including clinical practice guidelines of varying methodologic rigor, emerge annually. Clinicians, policymakers and guideline developers can be challenged when it comes to staying abreast of this literature including the science that informs the risk of false positive testing, overdiagnosis and the repercussions of these that manifest as overtreatment, as well as the role of shared-decision making to mitigate those risks. The Canadian Task Force for Preventive Healthcare in collaboration with the Health Information Research Unit at McMaster University has launched a free access, interactive and customizable literature awareness resource called Prevention Premium LiteratUre Service or PreventionPLUS. PreventionPLUS screens over 120 journals for studies meeting pre-defined criteria and sends candidate articles to a cadre of peer reviewers who evaluate each paper for relevance and newsworthiness with an option to provide critical analysis. Relevant research can be delivered to any email inbox in line with user preferences for topic, frequency and study relevance thresholds. This workshop aims to introduce this resource to those in attendance highlighting its functionality and value as the prime resource for scientific evidence and guidelines that inform the harms and benefits of screening and prevention. Please note a device with internet access is needed to take full advantage of this workshop. Outcomes At the completion of this workshop participants will become familiar with the methodology and configuration features of the PreventionPLUS website. In addition, using a case-based approach, those in attendance will be able to search the PreventionPLUS database for research that addresses specific aspects of screening and prevention. These include resources that provide insight as to the risks of false positive screening tests and overdiagnosis for cancer and other conditions, and studies and reviews that facilitate shared decision-making, and evaluate the provision of patient decision aids.","PeriodicalId":93355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
