  1. Pathology Informatics: Residency Curriculum for Now and the Future West and Midwest Chairs and Administrators Regional ConferenceOctober 21 - 24, 2014

  2. Informatics Training in Pathology “The landscape of medical practice is changing… Appropriate exposure to and training in informatics will be essential…Developing a strong informatics component for residency training programs will help advance the transformational future of the practice of medicine.” • Sinard JH, Powell SZ, Karcher DS. Pathology training in informatics: Evolving to meet a growing need. Arch Pathol Lab Med 2014 (April);138:505-511.

  3. What is PIER? • Pathology Informatics Essentials for Residents • Collaborative joint project of APC, API and CAP • Instructional resource guide and toolkit • Support for PRODSto address unmet needs for pathology informatics training • Mapped to ACGME milestones in informatics for pathology residents

  4. PIER Developed by Pathology Informatics Experts and PRODS

  5. Benefits Residents Program Directors Receive: Up-to-date content suitable for AP &/or CP Scalable design based on program characteristics and needs User-friendly toolkit for flexible implementation Content updates/releases Relevant performance outcomes mapped to ACGME milestones Slide builds in 4 clicks • Receive uniform, high quality training in a flexible and timely manner • Gain essential pathology informatics knowledge and skills • Be well-prepared to apply pathology informatics to collect, manage and share key medical information with colleagues and patients

  6. PIER Release Plan • Release 0 • Introduced at July 2014 APC Annual Meeting • Illustrated design, content and support features • Release 1 • Available now on APC PIER web page • Will be alpha tested starting in November • Available for use by all residency programs during alpha testing Slide builds in 1 click

  15. PIER Resource Toolkit

  16. Overview • PIER Scope and Sequence • Identifies the “what” to teach • PIER Resource Toolkit • Identifies the “how” to teach • Programs have unique needs and approaches • Toolkit helps PRODS scale topics • Provides implementation options to meet program needs • Helps PRODS make good training decisions Slide builds in 1 click

  17. Organization • There are 3 key tools for each of the PIER Essentials: • Essentials Map • Resource Options • Outcomes Achievement Checklist

  18. Essentials Map • Top area • Main topics • Rationale • Outcomes for achievement • Topic content • Lower area • Implementation strategies • Scheduling/progress tracker

  19. Essentials 1 Map: Top Area

  20. Resource Options • Lists content sources to support self-study or to inform the development of didactic materials • Identifies recommended PIER resources, practical exercises and other optional resources • Provides a detailed scheduling and progress tracker

  21. Outcomes Achievement Checklist • Documents progress and accomplishments • Completion of Essentials documents completion of corresponding ACGME informatics milestone level • Final sign-off goes into resident’s file

  22. Alpha Testing and Deployment • Testing Goals • Obtain feedback on PIER materials • Obtain feedback on implementation challenges and success tips • Deployment Goals • Gather additional tools and resources that can be shared across programs • Build a cadre of programs thatendorse PIER to foster deployment to additional institutions over time Slide builds in 1 click
