December’s edition of the Blueprint includes a new blog post by AcademyHealth Vice President Michael Gluck, as well as articles on the role of artificial intelligence in research and health care, trends in scientific publishing in 2020, strategies for effective health communication, and more.

This edition of the Blueprint, the Paradigm Project’s newsletter, includes articles on the facilitators of and barriers to open science, compilations on battling misinformation and influencing public policy that reassert the importance of effective communication, and an example of patient-led research.

The October 2020 issue of the Blueprint, the Paradigm Project’s monthly newsletter, highlights resources on democratizing data, peer review and preprints, and the advantages and disadvantages of science communication via social media during the COVID-19 “infodemic.”

Paradigm Project Design Teams address six thematic challenges facing the field of health services research (HSR) today.

How is the Paradigm Project using design thinking to help the field of health services research expand and assure its relevance? At the 2020 Annual Research Meeting, AcademyHealth staff presented posters detailing progress to date by each of the ‘Design Teams’ tackling projects from increasing the timeliness of research to better meet the needs of end users to leveraging the availability of big data. These posters give a moment in time glance at what we’ve learned, and where we’re going next.

Approved by the AcademyHealth Board of Directors in December 2019, this five-year strategic plan lays out a structure for progress, with the flexibility to address the key issues of the day.
