1. INCOSE Healthcare WG DEC 15, 2016 Webinar
Topic: Medical Simulation 3.0: Improve the patient safety and quality through healthcare delivery transformation
Presenter: Yue Dong, MD., Assistant Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine
Abstract
Modern hospital practice is complex that not only includes life threatening patho-physiologic disturbances, but also a complex “system” dimension: health care providers’ performance, organizational factors, environmental factors, patient and family member preferences and interaction between each component. Due to the aging populations and reimbursement decrease, how to better manage hospital and deliver optimized care to maximized patient outcome with less operation cost is the challenge to all institutions. The safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, equitable health care is the goal of new healthcare system for the 21st Century. Further investigation is needed to understand system organizational factors that contribute to poor patient outcomes beyond traditional perspective from patient risk factors, pharmaceutical interventions and provider education. Systems engineering focuses on coordination, synchronization and the integration of complex process components. Modeling and simulation (M&S) tools offer congruous strategies that correlate concisely to an emerging “systems understanding” of healthcare as vastly defined by myriad “system of systems” constructs. Using M&S based industry engineering/operational research (IE/OR) tools; there is a possibility to have an insight the whole picture of hospital practice by an objective and quantitatively manners. Simulation, forecast and optimization can be applied to improve the system performance. ICU sepsis resuscitation model will be discussed as a case study to demonstrate the potential benefit to utilize the IE/OR tools. Future work need to accomplish by systematic collect and analysis the care process data. Partnership of clinician and engineers are need to improve the value of healthcare service delivery.
About Our Speaker
Dr. Yue Dong is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. He is a patient safety and healthcare delivery researcher in the Multidisciplinary Epidemiology and Translational Research in Intensive Care (METRIC) group, Clinical Informatics in Intensive Care lab. Dr. Dong also designs and teaches courses for clinical fellows, residents and medical students at the Mayo Clinic Multidisciplinary Simulation Center. Dr. Dong is the faculty of Mayo Clinic’s Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, Health Care Systems Engineering Program. He has extensive experience on the systems engineering approach in healthcare delivery research, including: field observation; failure mode effective analysis; workflow analysis and redesign; and usability testing of information systems.
Dr. Dong’s main research interests: 1) Using various simulations and modeling tools to study healthcare delivery systems to improve patient safety and care quality in the ICU and acute care settings. He has expertise in using Discrete Event Simulation to model patient workflow, study system performance and identify care process bottlenecks; design and test quality improvement innovations before clinical implementation. 2) Using in-situ simulation as a tool to evaluate human performance variation under different “stress tests” (fatigue, cognition, workload, etc.) and conducting usability testing for medical devices and healthcare information technology. 3) Study the effectiveness of simulation based medical education (SBME) by establish valid outcome measurement and stretch measurement endpoint from simulation lab to clinical practice, providing highly reliable data for future high-stakes testing.
