Emerging Methods of Exploring the Team Microenvironment in Cancer Care

Towards a Social Data Science for Safety and Quality: Emerging Methods of Exploring the Team Microenvironment in Cancer Care

Dr. Michael Rosen, a human factors psychologist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, reviewed existing and emerging methods for understanding team interactions across the cancer care continuum, and their application in addressing research and care management challenges in complex healthcare delivery systems. He highlighted new methods for using data “found” in existing information systems or generated through unobtrusive sensing systems, including activity tracking, analysis of communication patterns, and team physiological dynamics. These approaches hold promise to provide practical, scalable, and valid methods for research and management of healthcare delivery systems.

This event is part of the NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences Geospatial Approaches to Cancer Control and Prevention webinar series.
