Lecture 4: How to Take Results and Inform Others

Fapic mac os x

Spreading the Word – How to Take Results and Inform Others

Infection prevention is a field where much of the work that is done can be viewed as research and implementation of best practices. Sharing that information both within a facility and to outside audiences can be very beneficial for others that may be interested in solving a similar problem. However, when it comes to writing up an disseminating that research, particularly outside of the facility, there can be a lack of knowing where to start. Writing an abstract on the work that was performed is an essential first step toward sharing that information. After building that foundation from the abstract, it will be possible to build up to how to get that information out in the form of posters, oral presentations, and publications in peer-reviewed journals. This session is intended to cover all of these topics and leave the viewer feeling comfortable and ready to begin the process of spreading the word. Learn how to:

  • Take study results and disseminate them within an organization
  • Disseminate results to a wide audience outside of your hospital
  • Attribute properly (collaborators, order of authors, etc.)
  • Evaluate options and methods for publishing and presenting (posters, abstracts, etc.)

About the Speaker

She completed her BS and MS through Colorado State University in 2005 and 2009, respectively. She earned her PhD in Public Health with a focus on Epidemiology through Walden University in 2015.

Lecture 5: Implementation Science

Implementation Science – What Is It and How Can It Help My Hospital?

Dissemination and implementation (D&I) of infection prevention research findings into practice are necessary to improve patient outcomes and inform practitioners what, when and how interventions work in the “real world”. The field of D&I research actively supports the movement of innovative and evidence-based healthcare and prevention strategies, often designed and tested in controlled setting, to diverse health care delivery sectors and setting. APIC members are at the forefront of this dissemination into practice and essential for the successful implementation, though often are unaware of their role or lack the skills or confidence to lead the translation of evidence. This webinar will describe how and why APIC members can and should participate in implementation science research, and use “real world” examples and tools. Participants from all practice sectors and settings will gain knowledge of the history of dissemination and implementation research, report increased confidence in analyzing D&I research results, and develop the skills to effectively implement and disseminate evidence-based practices in diverse healthcare settings. Learn how to:

  • Implement change successfully
  • Identify challenges to implementing interventions
  • Incorporate research findings into practice through education and consultation
  • Synthesize interventions for the greatest benefit

Lecture 6: Research Domain of the APIC Competency Model

Understanding and Applying the Research Domain of the APIC Competency Model

As noted in the new APIC Competency Model, “Research is an essential skill set that supports and advances the IPC field. Incorporating research constructs into the role equips the IP with the opportunity to synthesize, apply, and evaluate research information to develop and demonstrate IPC and epidemiological expertise.” In this lecture, you will learn how to:

  • Explain the importance of the addition of the research domain into the new Competency Model
  • Describe how the research domain categories are applicable to infection prevention practice.
  • Define opportunities afforded to the Infection Preventionist because of the research domain.

How do I know my product costs are profitable enough and consumers will buy?

To understand the costs is one of the more important concepts in developing and bringing the product to market. Working out the shelf life, type of packaging, storage (ambient, refrigerated, frozen) as all impacts the costs to deliver to customers and whether you have enough margin to make the product profitably, therefore, it is important to understand all your manufacturing and import costs (e.g. electricity, gas, line time, etc.)

How do I measure my shelf life?

This is a complex problem that needs technical input which FAPIC is often asked, and there is no one simple answer to cover everything. Selection of ingredients, process and packaging will have significant impact on the overall product shelf life.

Why the project takes so long to implement?

Often the business in many cases project planning, recipe development uses excel spreadsheets and intuition in optimising the recipe against world’s best practice of suing tool such as SpecPage PDM systems which rapidly identify best costs solutions taking months out of development cycles. Having structure and same team from commencement to launch helps remove delays.

What is 8P Model and why should we apply it?

Our 8P Model™ takes you through an agile project management process to streamline your business and define new product development opportunities that make sense to who you are and what you believe in, and teaches you how to innovate for profit. The defined strategic approach addresses productivity issues in terms of People, Portfolio or Productivity, Problem, Project, Product, Packaging, Process and Profit

I have my concept done, what do I do next?

Usually it happens that kitchen concept are not ready to the market. However, many concepts are tried on farmers market, but foo safety should be major considerations and maybe necessary to obtain certification from the local authority.

Where can I get my ingredients, packaging?

Fapic Mac Os Update

You can use google search, but there are companies with expertise throughout the marketplace specialises in this space for both ingredients and packaging. Reference to Food Matrix – https://members.foodmatrix.com.au/home may help to navigate.

What are the signs of unprofitable portfolio?

Large number of products (SKUs) with high numbers of similar pack sizes, providing branded recipes for private label customers, complexity, inability to supply market out of manufacture, relying on one customer (retail vs foodservice vs Petrol & Conveiance, etc.) may result in low margin, low business bottom line and in the end impact the funs you can take into innovation or developing new product and processes.

Where can I get information about food standard? Are Food standard in New Zealand and Australia the same?

https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/code/Pages/default.aspx alternatively FAPIC experts can provide these answers. Yes, they are the same and may require expert for the interpretation which vary slightly in some specialised cases.
