Have you recently found yourself wondering if the skills you’ve spent your whole career learning even matter anymore in a world where “disruptive change” seems to have become the norm?

The Use of Predictive Analytics to Improve Quality of Care
This presentation will briefly review clinical informatics with a focus on tools designed to help guide clinical decision making to improve patient outcomes. A predictive analytics tool developed to identify patients likely to be or become septic will be presented as a case example.
Sepsis is a major healthcare problem and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection[1]. An estimated 270,000 Americans die each year of sepsis and 1 and 3 patients who die in a hospital have sepsis[2]. Improving outcomes requires early identification and early intervention. At the end of this presentation attendees should be able to:
-
- Identify individuals at risk of developing sepsis
- Describe the signs and symptoms of sepsis
- Describe current approaches to the diagnosis and management of sepsis
- Explain how clinical decision support tools may be integrated into the electronic health record to help guide clinical decision making

How to Misuse Statistics and Still Get Results
Design of Experiments (DOE) can be powerful tools but they have not been widely adopted in the transactional business environment. Through several healthcare examples, we’ll explore the unconventional application of the Plackett-Burman and Definitive Screening Designs within Minitab.
This approach offers even the non-statistician the ease and flexibility to gain insights quickly. It is intended for the practitioner who needs to build a case around a sound decision rather than a statistical one.

Reduction in Cycle Time for Bid Tab Creation
Pamela Kuehling explains how she helped customers experience less controllable delays as a result of bid tab creation cycle time. Bid Tabs are created after product bids are received from vendors, and are entered into Excel spreadsheets to show an apples to apples comparison. This helps Departments make better selection decisions. Solutions could only focus on what the Supply Division controlled. Learn how they achieved a 22% reduction in average days, a 7% reduction in standard deviation and an 11% reduction in the range of days for bid tab creation cycle time in procurement.
