Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Quality Measurement
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Clinical research is often confined to academic institutions due to its demanding nature.
  • Quality management and measurement are crucial for all healthcare providers.
  • There is a need for integrated tools that support both research and quality assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a Kaplan Meier satellite module as an add-on for medical workstations.
  • To assess the module's utility for clinical research and healthcare quality measurement.
  • To determine the feasibility of integrating this tool into standard outpatient clinic routines.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Kaplan Meier survival statistics module integrated with a medical workstation.

  • Utilizing the module for graphic visualization of cumulative survival or patency data.
  • Data collection on 340 vascular reconstructions by a vascular surgeon over six months.

    • Main Results:

    • The Kaplan Meier module effectively visualizes patient population behavior using cumulative survival and patency data.
    • The module was successfully used to collect patency data for 340 vascular reconstructions.
    • Integration into outpatient clinic routines had no discernible impact on workflow.

    Conclusions:

    • The Kaplan Meier satellite module is a valuable tool for both clinical research and healthcare quality measurement.
    • The module provides an accessible method for visualizing patient outcomes and assessing quality of care.
    • Its ease of operation, maintenance, and adaptability make it suitable for diverse clinical applications.
