Open Syllabus & AI: Empowering Librarians with Data-Driven Collection Development
No full textThis presentation focuses on Open Syllabus (OS) as an analytics tool built with advanced machine learning and available to all librarians. Currently, OS contains structured data from every syllabi for the entire FIU Uniform Core Curriculum (UCC). When that data is combined with an AI chatbot through thoughtful prompt engineering and analysis of library and state collections, librarians can assess for current FIU curricular need and make better purchase decisions. Furthermore, research of curriculum aligned texts that are peer reviewed across US universities can help grow resource utilization. Select data will be presented with insights on how librarians can use OS for their own professional practice and research, and build stronger liaison relationships with teaching and research faculty
Digital Dilemmas: Navigating Ethical Challenges in Archives
No full textThis presentation highlights complex ethical issues faced by library and museum archives in managing sensitive digital content, particularly when access conflicts with privacy and/or cultural concerns. We will share examples of how digital librarians and archivists who are managing specialized content such as medical, tribal, and those belonging to historically marginalized populations are addressing often overlooked areas of questions around ethical access in digital collections. The goal of the research is to provide practitioners with actionable guidelines for ethical decision-making, ensuring that ethical challenges are addressed and navigated with care and sensitivity
Agentic AI in Smart Data Pipeline for Environmental Research Data Management and Visualization
No full textThis poster presents the NSF-funded EnviStor, a smart data infrastructure that integrates storage, computation, metadata, and visualization tools to support environmental and climate data research. It highlights the implementation of a Smart Data Pipeline using Agentic AI to streamline data discovery, harmonization, cleaning, and visualization within high-performance computing environments. The project explores the use of AI agents in managing large, heterogeneous datasets and improving metadata generation and discoverability, while enabling collaboration through Open Science networks. Future directions include evaluating the accuracy of AI-assisted tasks across varied environmental data use cases

Enhancing Warfarin Therapy Knowledge and Health Outcomes in the Elderly Hispanic Population: A Quality Improvement Project
Full text linkTo improve clinical outcomes and extend life expectancy for Hispanic patients 65 years and older on warfarin therapy, involving adherence to medication, lifestyle, dietary modification, and reinforcement of the patient\u27s knowledge regarding therapy. This is an improvement project on warfarin medication commonly used to reduce the risk of thromboembolic complications, and its efficacy is largely dependent on maintaining a therapeutic window. Because warfarin is affected by many other factors, patients need to be consistent with their medication compliance to minimize side effects. The educational intervention protocol will take place is an internal medicine ambulatory clinic. The inclusion criteria will include Hispanic patients who are on warfarin therapy and within the age group of 65 years old or older. 10 patients will receive the transcultural educational program and the other 10 patients will receive the standard educational material. Pre-questionnaires were given to the participants, the standard or the transcultural educational program was introduced by the DNP student, and post questionnaires were collected three weeks in a follow up appointment. The data collected was analyzed using a mixed ANOVA, analysis of variance. The analysis tested whether the change from the pre-test questionnaire to post-questionnaire was significant. Furthermore, it tested if the change differed by condition, the transcultural educational intervention versus the standard education material. The data showed that the educational intervention in the elderly Hispanic population proved effective. Proper education of warfarin therapy is an essential requirement for upholding a safe and efficient treatment to reduce side effects
Enhancing Medication Adherence for Class II Medications Aligned with the Joint Commission Standards to Improve Patient Outcomes: A Quality Improvement Project
Full text linkAbstract
This quality improvement project aims to evaluate whether implementing strategies aligned with Joint Commission standards could enhance medication adherence among patients prescribed Class II medications, ultimately improving patient outcomes. The hypothesis posited those structured interventions- such as patient education, provider engagement, reminder systems, and adherence tracking- would result in higher adherence rates and better clinical outcomes compared to initial review. A pre and post survey was used over 12 weeks in an outpatient psychiatric setting on 25 participants that are prescribed Class II medications. The methods include targeted educational sessions, implementation of medication reminder tools, and regular follow up appointments to monitor compliance and address barriers. Data was collected through medical records review, self-reported adherence assessments, and prescription refill rates. Anticipation that the results will indicate a statistically significant improvement in medication adherence post intervention, along with reported overall patient satisfaction. The project’s findings support the effectiveness of structured, evidence-based strategies in promoting adherence to Class II medications and highlight the need for ongoing, multidisciplinary approaches to sustain these outcomes. The results have implications for improving adherence and populations at risk of non-compliance
