Closing the Loop by Operationalizing Systems Engineering and Design (CLOSED)
Motivation:
Specific Aims :
Aim 1:​Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for diagnostic tests and referrals that ensures diagnostic orders and follow-up occur reliably within clinically- and patient-important time-frames.
​
Aim 2: Use systems engineering and patient engagement to design, develop, and refine a highly reliable “closed loop” system for symptoms that ensures clinicians receive and act on feedback about evolving symptoms and physical findings of concern to patients or clinicians.
​
Aim 3: Design for generalizability across health systems more broadly so that the processes created in Aims 1 and 2 are effective in (1) a practice in an underserved community, (2) a large tele-medicine system, and (3) a representative range of simulated other health system settings and populations.

Jessica Cleveland
BS, Industrial Engineering & Management Systems, University of Central Florida (2014)
​
Research Interests: Predictive Modeling, Applied Statistics, Optimization, Biomedical Informatics
Jessica completed her undergraduate studies in Industrial Engineering while also obtaining a minor in Health Services Administration. While pursuing her bachelor's degree, Jessica gained experience as an IE intern in both the manufacturing and healthcare industries. In her last year of undergraduate studies, Jessica worked as the Data Analytics and Reporting intern for a local hospital. In this position she was introduced to the impact of data analysis in the hospital setting in the areas of glycemic management, patient flow, staff scheduling, among others. Now a graduate research assistant pursuing a master's in Operations Research, Jessica will gain even more experience working with HSyE and continue to apply industrial engineering techniques to solve healthcare problems.
