This is how We Think

Hello, it has been a while for me to post here. Here I am.

I first watched Professor Richard Miller’s talk ” This is How We Dream” back 2009. It is still relevant for today’s world and healthcare industry. Please enjoy .

To learn more about Richard Miller you can visit his page or blog.

Patient Safety Panel Discussion at 2015 World Innovation Summit for Health

“The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) focuses on some of the most pressing and serious global health challenges facing governments, health systems and populations. The Summit brings together internationally renowned experts, who work with advisory groups to publish evidence-based reports on a range of healthcare topics each year.”

Patient Safety is one of key topics discussed.

Please make sure download the report published at 2015 WISH after watching the panel discussion.

Healthcare Systems Modeling & Simulation Affinity Group Webinar Aug 2014

Clinical Capacity Planning with Discrete Event Simulation

We will discuss how to model clinical systems using discrete event simulation, and how to analyze models for clinical capacity planning. We treat a case study of the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and describe modeling, analysis, experimentation, and recommendation using DES. Including a brief discussion of the use of DES for implementation science.

T. Eugene Day, D.Sc., is a Sr. Improvement Advisor and Principal Investigator with The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He specializes in discrete event simulation of health care delivery systems, with the goal of understanding the complex nature of clinical systems, and then applying this understanding to improve care delivery quality, efficiency, and safety.

Why Don’t Information Industries Make a Greater Impact on Care Delivery?

Dr. Terry Young , Professor of Healthcare Systems, School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University

He and Dr. James Fackler published a paper  Why healthcare professionals are slow to adopt modeling and simulation?  to explore the reason for slow adoption of the computer modeling and simulation in healthcare.

Professo Young is also the co-founder of the Cumberland Initiative, a network of leading clinicians, managers, modellers, academics and industry specialists who are pioneering the modeling and simulation approach in the NHS. Lord Norman Warner, former Health Minister for NHS reform said in a press conference. 

“We will only do something different if we have an analytical base to enable people to change,” argued Lord Warner. “The problem in the NHS is, unless local people are confronted with overwhelming evidence that something has to be done and there is another way, in many places they don’t change their institutional behaviour.” 

“The NHS is a very conservative organisation in many places. But where we are now, we badly need the kind of initiative that Cumberland is showing. The traditional thing you do is try and gee up doctors and managers but we need a bit of an injection of data collection and analysis.”
