Description:

As the US population ages and medical sophistication grows to extend lives, healthcare delivery complexity increases. Constant provider re-assortment on large, multidisciplinary teams, across services, obscures our ability to understand individual provider contribution to patient outcomes. Our work constructs provider collaboration networks from transactional healthcare data to better understand the structure and dynamics of teamwork across patient encounters. This talk will illustrate how to deconstruct and evaluate provider teamwork using the example of guideline-driven care for heart failure patients in the NMH cardiology unit. Although the talk is introductory, examples from the everyday Internet will show we already intuitively understand how this type of data is used in ecommerce and sports, and that healthcare in the near future should be no different.

Material will be drawn from the following papers:

• Visualizing collaborative electronic health record usage for hospitalized patients with heart failure

• An Outcome-Weighted Network Model for Characterizing Collaboration

• Characterizing Teamwork in Cardiovascular Care Outcomes

• Leveraging electronic health record documentation for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis team identification
