Master Thesis project of Tim Kleinloog featured in ChipSoft’s magazine “Mediair”

From http://magazine.chipsoft.nl/mediair-oktober-2015tim-chipsoft

Professor Uzay Kaymak van de TU Eindhoven leidt het team dat onderzoek doet naar de toepassing van dataonderzoek in de zorg. Gertruud Krekels zorgt samen met haar collega Milan Tjioe voor de zorginhoudelijke input, het team bestaat daarnaast uit een groep onderzoekers van de universiteit. Een belangrijke rol is weggelegd voor Tim Kleinloog, die bij ChipSoft op dit onderwerp afstudeert.


Tim (24) studeert Technische Bedrijfskunde aan de TU Eindhoven en volgt de master ‘Innovation Management’. De titel van zijn onderzoek is ‘A data driven approach to evaluate guidelines for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSKs)’. “Ik ontwikkel en test de manier waarop Getruud Krekels en Milan Tjioe informatie uit HiX halen om te evalueren hoe de klinische richtlijnen worden gevolgd. Een mooi project, want het is een ideale combinatie tussen ICT, zorg, wetenschappelijk onderzoek, analyseren en programmeren. Heel boeiend om er op deze manier aan bij te dragen dat HiX zorgverleners nóg beter kan ondersteunen.”

IS-HEART presentation June 5th: Dynamic Clinical Checklist Support Systems

Also see the online agenda item for this session.

Speakers: Lonneke Vermeulen (TU/e – IS) and Ashley De Bie Dekker (Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven)
Title: The first pilot study of DCCSS Tracebook, from idea to results

Abstract: Atul Gawandas’ Checklist Manifesto made the medical world realize the high potential of clinical safety checklists in reducing medical errors and improving patient safety. As the current computerized checklist support systems were too static, the Brainbridge II program (a collaboration between the Eindhoven University of Technology, Zhejiang University, Philips Research and Catharina Hospital Eindhoven) developed a system that can individualize checklists based on information from the patient’s medical record while also considering the context of the clinical workflows. By the end of last year (2014) the first pilot study of the Dynamic Clinical Checklist Support System (DCCSS) Tracebook took place in the hospital. In this presentation we will guide you from the beginning of this project to the results of the first pilot study.

After a short introduction of the Tracebook system, we will describe how we developed these dynamic checklists, which research design we followed and how the pilot study was set up. We will conclude with the promising results from the study and afterwards there is time for discussion.
