ABSTRACT
This demo presents the main features of the CLAHRC Healthcare Improvement Support System (HISS), a data collection and reporting toolkit which has been designed as a collaboration between the Department of Computing at Imperial College London and NIHR CLAHRC initiative to facilitate measurement for improvement in local multi-disciplinary healthcare improvement teams. The HISS software toolkit is supporting a larger methodology to implement research into practice through a series of quality improvement projects and managing the design, introduction, spread and sustainability of those improvements. It allows the project teams to design the desired process model, define quantitative improvement measures, and automatically generate a web application for the team members to enter measurement data at regular (typically weekly) intervals, and monitor their progress in real-time. The demo will showcase some common functions of the system on the example of a real-life improvement project.
