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.

Research Interests: Supply Chain Network Optimization, Logistics, Scheduling and Simulation
Ram is a graduate student in Industrial Engineering with a primary focus in operations research and optimization. He is working on developing mathematical solutions to optimize supply chain networks, logistics and inventory management problems. He is interested in studying the effect of change in the system process backed by statistics and data analysis. He is involved in a CHOT research project, which is based on the simulation of the spread of improvement ideas across the healthcare quality improvement network which is intended to help serve patients better.Ram also doubles as our computer support technician to help others with computer issues.
