Closing the Loop by Operationalizing Systems Engineering and Design (CLOSED)
Motivation:
Specific Aims :
Aim 1:​Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for diagnostic tests and referrals that ensures diagnostic orders and follow-up occur reliably within clinically- and patient-important time-frames.
​
Aim 2: Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for symptoms that ensures clinicians receive and act on feedback about evolving symptoms and physical findings of concern to patients or clinicians.
​
Aim 3: Design for generalizability across health systems more broadly so that the processes created in Aims 1 and 2 are effective in (1) a practice in an underserved community, (2) a large tele-medicine system, and (3) a representative range of simulated other health system settings and populations.

Basma Bargal, MS
Basma has completed her master’s degree in industrial engineering and has worked in management consultancy for 5 years and has experience in project management, strategic planning and performance management. She is now a PhD student working on helping manage the EHRLL grant where HSyE are applying different engineering tools to investigate and learn which are more useful and why in the healthcare application. Basma is focusing on applying system analysis tools on different healthcare systems and looking for new insight from each.
