| Abstract: | Massive healthcare and clinical data are widely collected from a variety of sources such as electronic health records, personal health monitoring devices and patient surveys, disease registries, etc. It is of increasing interests in utilizing those data to assist doctors’ or healthcare providers’ decisions. This presentation will use two examples to discuss some research challenges in data analytics for developing an evidence-based clinical decision support and surgical performance monitoring systems. Taking rotator cuff tears as the first example, some typical research challenges in analyzing clinical/healthcare data are presented. A general data analysis framework is proposed through integration of advanced data analytics methods, which include missing data imputation to handle heterogeneous mixed-type data, regularized variables selection for data dimension reduction, and probabilistic decision threshold for managing the decision risks due to inevitable false positive/negative errors. The second example is to discuss how to effectively assess and monitor cardiac surgical quality by considering the inevitable incoming health variations of patients who are under the surgery operations by different surgeons. 报告人简介：Jionghua (Judy) Jin is currently a professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and the Director of Manufacturing Engineering Program at the University of Michigan.
