En lille reklame eller måske jeg hellere vil kalde en invitation.
Ruc og Region Sjælland har indgået et samarbejde om projekt hvor der skal eksperimenteres med klinisk overblik.
Helt konkret ved man ikke så meget om hvad overblik er for en størrelse. Hvad er det for nogle information der ksal til og hvordan skal de visualiseres og præsenteres for at skabe overblik? Det gælder både overblik på afdelingsniveau og på patientniveau.
Invitationen går på at hvis man har lyst til at forske i overblik, har man muligheden her, da projektet har to ledige phd stillinger. Se nedenstående opslag:
Two PhD Scholarships in IT Support for Clinical Overview
Roskilde University and Region Zealand, Denmark, invite applications for 2 PhD scholarships in the field of IT support for healthcare clinicians overview in their treatment of patients and coordination with other clinicians. The PhD scholarships will be associated with the PhD program Design and Management of Information Technology at Roskilde University.
The two PhD scholarships involve evaluation of healthcare information systems in laboratory as well as field settings to assess whether they support clinicians overview. The scholarships also provide opportunities for working with the analysis of clinical work to specify healthcare information systems and with the design of user interfaces for such systems to support overview. Region Zealand, which is one of the five healthcare regions in Denmark, provides access to selected clinical wards at the regions hospitals and is in the process of establishing a laboratory for the pilot testing of systems. The scholarships will be part of a collaboration, which also involves a company that designs healthcare information systems. Two foci have been chosen for this collaboration, and applicants are expected to relate their research to these two foci:
Overview at the level of the ward by collecting and presenting selected information about all patients at a ward via a large, shared display.
Overview at the level of the patient by structuring, visualizing, and providing ways for individual clinicians to navigate patient information.
The PhD scholarships The scholarships involve presence at Roskilde University (Roskilde), Region Zealand (Sorø), and selected hospital wards in the Zealand region. At Roskilde University, the scholarships are based in the research group User-driven IT innovation (www.udi.ruc.dk) at the Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies. In Region Zealand, the scholarships are based in the Department of Quality and Development.
Applicants must have a master degree, preferably in computer science, healthcare informatics, or a related field with an emphasis on systems development and human-computer interaction, but applicants with a mainly clinical background are also welcome. As the scholarships involve fieldwork at hospital wards in the region applicants must be fluent in Danish.
Applications should include:
A detailed project description and work plan of the research the applicant plans to undertake (max. 5 pages)
CV with relevant educational, professional, and academic qualifications
The positions also involve that the successful applicants, within the 3-year employment period, follow PhD courses relevant to their research, get experience with teaching, and participate in research environments external to the collaboration between Roskilde University and Region Zealand.
If you want to know more you are welcome to contact associate professor Morten Hertzum on +45 4674 3077, mhz@ruc.dk, or Lars Demant on +45 5787 5218, ld@regionsjaelland.dk.
