Description
Speaker: Dr Paul Expert, Lecturer in Health Informatics at University College London
In this presentation, Dr Expert will outline how a complex system approach can be beneficial to model and understand healthcare systems. In particular, he will discuss using complex networks as a representation of complex systems and focus on the usage of Electronic Health Records to represent patient movement in hospitals and analyse their effect on infection and length of stay.
