The Surveillance Analytics Core (SAC) is a multidisciplinary group with over 20 years of collaborative expertise in systems design, 分析, 实现, 和管理. The SAC is part of the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) Analytics Institute, with close ties to the Value Institute and Department of Anesthesiology.
Our approach to system design incorporates proven tactics from many disciplines, including:
- 系统工程
- Human factors and cognitive systems 工程
- Human-centered design
- Process improvement, emphasizing multidisciplinary collaborative design sessions
- Clinical knowledge elicitation
- Participatory prototyping
- Performance measurement
We have worked with a broad base of healthcare staff, collaborating with frontline clinical teams, executive-level sponsors, and learners across the spectrum (residents and fellows, 医学院, 工程, and business students).
The SAC continues to focus on designing, 分析, and improving patient safety systems (especially those that allow for serious but treatable event recovery and rescue), driven by the recognition that despite decades of safety work in healthcare, preventable patient safety events remain the third leading cause of death in the U.S.
囊的背景
The work of the SAC builds on decades of patient safety systems innovation at Dartmouth.
