Abstract

This chapter reports the operations research advances in the Edelman finalist work on “Collaborative Systems Analytics: Establishing Effective Clinical Practice Guidelines for Advancing Congenital Cardiac Care.” The clinical advances and results of this project have been reported elsewhere. This paper highlights the OR-analytic advances and briefly summarizes the clinical implementations, results, and impacts. Specifically, we devised a customizable model and decision support framework that combines systems modeling, simulation-optimization decision analytics, clustering, and machine learning within a collaborative learning paradigm to help hospitals pinpoint key factors on practice variation, and design clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for rapid implementation to improve the outcomes of congenital heart defects surgeries. The OR-analytic collaborative learning framework described herein is generalizable and is applicable for numerous domains. Within healthcare, it enables systems redesign, quality improvement, resource allocation, and clinical support and decision advances. The computational engine facilitates systems and process optimization. The results improve efficiency of healthcare delivery, reduce costs and wastes while improving quality of life of patients. A critical contribution is that the system offers an effective, flexible way to study adequate numbers of patients across multiple sites with uncommon diseases through a common infrastructure for recruiting, monitoring, and following patients whose conditions will be characterized in a standard fashion. The modeling-computational framework facilitates the design of a common CPG, and its successful implementation with documented and measurable clinical outcomes. Such a framework permits a flexible clinical transformative environment that can accommodate practice variance while enabling care teams to identify critical system pathways for multiple-site clinical care and process improvement. The hypothesis testing and dissemination of findings allows for rapid learning and adoption at multiple sites with a shortened duration and only a fraction of the budget as opposed to the conventional randomized clinical trials. Hence, the OR-analytic collaborative learning framework can serve as a blueprint for other clinical and process-improvement initiatives.
