"Over the past few months, I have embarked on a somewhat quixotic enterprise to help ordinary people understand why adopting electronic health records has been so difficult. I have been trying to convince people close to the TV medical show House to create an episode in which lead character Gregory House and a new hospital EHR system square off to see who gives the best diagnoses." ...... "To get a sense of what might underlie such a drama, I went to the University of Ottawa and sat down with Wojtek Michalowski, a professor at the Telfer School of Management. Michalowski and his compatriots, in what is known as the MET (Mobile Emergency Triage) research group, have been developing what is technically known as "clinical decision support systems" for emergency departments." "The MET concept is that information about a patient's symptoms, previous medical history, age and other existing conditions would be entered into a computer. Software would compare the data to known causes, and suggest possible diagnoses and treatments to the ER doctors." |

Improving the performance of interdisciplinary teams Dr. Craig Kuziemsky,Telfer School of Management, received a $115,000 grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada .(NSERC) through the Discovery Grants Competition for his project A Methodological Approach for Modeling Interdisciplinary Teams. Interdisciplinary teams are required to make complex decisions that require the integration of different processes and information sources. Healthcare is an excellent domain to study the behaviour of interdisciplinary teams as the provision of modern health services involves members of multiple professional groups, with different knowledge levels and often residing in different physical locations. The overall objective of this research program is to develop a novel methodological approach for integrating the diverse information flows and work processes of interdisciplinary teams. This research focuses on healthcare but it is applicable to other domains. |
