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.

April Soler
April completed her undergraduate degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering while obtaining a minor in International Engineering. She joined HSyE as a summer intern in 2014. Her projects have allowed her to gain experience in inventory, simulation, process mapping, and statistical process control. April is very passionate about the impact that IEs have on healthcare and continues to work with HSyE remotely part-time during the school year.
