Event Date
Talk with Dr. Naomi Bardach from UC San Francisco.
School reopening and operations were a flashpoint for much of the pandemic. Rapidly evolving science informed school reopening policies and operations, but also the multiple aspects of government in California were involved - executive branch, legislative branch, and even the judiciary. This talk reflects on the rollercoaster of schools and COVID in California, elucidating how science informed policy, and how science also needed to be guided by policymakers so that the scientific data could be highly relevant and actionable for schools and children. There are multiple lessons learned that illuminate how our systems do and do not work in a pandemic, and the talk will include thoughts on how to take those lessons into the future.
Dr. Naomi Bardach M.D. is a Professor of Pediatrics and Policy in the Department of Pediatrics and the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California San Francisco. She is Vice Chair of Health Services Research in the Department of Pediatrics. Her research program is focused on improving the quality of inpatient and outpatient pediatric care, with a foundation in implementation and dissemination science. She is co-investigator on two of the AHRQ-funded U18 Pediatric Quality Measurement Program (PQMP) grants to support development and testing of pediatric quality measures. As PI of an NICHD-funded R01, she is collecting reports on patient safety events from family and patients on the pediatric inpatient unit at the point of care, and making those reports rapidly available to clinicians and quality improvement staff. In recognition of her passion and capacity for mentoring, she received the UCSF Academic Senate Distinction in Mentoring Award for Associate Professors in 2020.
