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.

Journal Club
About
The Healthcare Systems Engineering Institute hosts an open informal monthly Journal Club to promote discussion on topics of common interest throughout healthcare. The Journal Club meets on the first Friday of every month for one hour from 12-1pm, ranging from engineering methods to important healthcare issues. Any one is welcome to join us by WebEx, phone, or in person.
Journal Club meetings are open to faculty, students, staff and all community members who are currently involved with or interested in learning more about healthcare systems.
Objectives
-
Establish a forum for students, faculty, staff, and all other community members to meet, collaborate and participate in discussing the healthcare related literature.
​
-
Facilitating open discussion and furthering our understanding of the common technical solutions, and best practice models to healthcare system problems.
​
-
Have fun
​
-
Develop an appreciation for well written high-quality research, and its counterpart.
