In this episode of GuideWire, Devin Hubbard with FastTraCS talks to Dr. Alan Rosenbaum, founder and first of six team members to join the FastTraCS Clinical Advisory Group (CAG). 

Alan gives an update on CAG, which offers unfiltered, critical input and feedback from participating clinicians and non-physician providers on ideas, projects, diseases, and unmet needs. Is he happy with where things are and where he wanted them to go? It’s still too new and early to know.

• Recruitment Criteria: FastTraCS picked various, under-represented specialties
• Compensation: NC TraCS and FastTraCS contributes FTE to participants’ salaries
• Practice Areas: ER, family, hospitalist medicine; engineering; pediatric ENT; OB/GYN
• Valuable Perspectives: When research/literature don’t match provider/patient settings
• Problems/Solutions: Determine where to spend time/resources to utilize skills/expertise
• Improvement Areas: Agenda/presentation leads to productive meetings, better outcomes

Quotes:

“These are folks who are able to critically analyze and communicate effectively.”

“We tried to capture a broad diversity of clinical settings, and patient populations, and clinical problems.”

“That’s probably the most important part of the CAG group is determining where to spend time and resources because those are finite.”
