Data Visualization: Best Practices to Facilitate Discovery and Improve Communication of Evidence

Tuesday, May 25, 2021, 7:00-8:00 pm ET

Join ASHP New Practitioners Forum for a live webinar as we welcome back Dr. Kenneth Shermock, Director of the Center for Medication Quality and Outcomes at The Johns Hopkins Health System, and Dr. Brittany Lee Karas, Drug Information Pharmacist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.  Dr. Shermock will discuss how to accurately and effectively interpret evidence how this skill can impact your clinical practice. As pharmacists, we make routine use of data visualizations to better understand topics and most of us create visualizations to convey information to others. Yet, far fewer of us have been exposed to formal schools of thought and scientific evidence regarding effective data visualization. This results in missed opportunities to understand our world more deeply, and to share these discoveries with others. This webinar will introduce evidence-based visualization techniques and demonstrate how they can be used to discover and reveal deep and often unexpected truths.
