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.

Corey Balint
As a former undergraduate student at Northeastern, Corey worked on various projects at the University. His first move into research was a study on "The Use of Peers as Quality Managers in Engineering Class Instruction" with Professor Beverly Jaeger. He later worked with Professor Jaeger on an independent study for the Digital Simulations course. He worked on this project for over a semester helping to generate content for the course as well as teaching a course, all with 'Quality Managers' in mind. Corey has worked at HSyE for a few years and has held a number of positions, including co-op student at the VA Medical Center, work study student editing and reviewing papers, summer intern simulating a new outpatient facility for Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and grad student researching DOE, Social Network Analysis, and more. In his current position as a Staff Engineer, Corey works in various capacities with a strong interest in curriculum development and undergraduate projects and mentoring. His hobbies include sports management, sports analytics, travel, cooking, board games, TV, and movies.
