In this paper, we propose the dashboards of the Pco-Vision platform to support and enhance Project-Based Learning (PBL). Based on the assumption that Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is a major component of PBL, we have focused our attention in the design of a dashboard to enhance SRL in PBL. We describe the characteristics of PBL and show why a dashboard can help involved SRL processes, more part...

Monitoring and controlling business processes is a challenging task: different data sources need to be combined, appropriate visualizations need to be defined to observe certain goals or Key Performance Indicators (KPI). In this paper, a new semantic dashboard description language used in a process-oriented dashboard design methodology is introduced, to help users focus more on business process...

Management of complex chronic diseases such as diabetes requires the assimilation and interpretation of multiple laboratory test results. Traditional electronic health records tend to display laboratory results in a piecemeal and segregated fashion. This makes the assembly and interpretation of results related to diabetes care challenging. We developed a diabetes-specific clinical decision supp...

The boarding of patients is a root cause of overcrowding in a majority of emergency departments (EDs) nationwide. It reduces capacity to treat ED patients, decreases bed utilization, and compromises quality, safety, and the patient experience. Because of its systemic nature, it can only be effectively addressed through attention and commitment by all stakeholders. Once emergency departments hav...

Compliance with, implementation of, and monitoring of evidence-based guidelines can be challenging in clinical environments. We created a real-time patient safety dashboard, deployed since June 2011. We report on our current research to make it very easy to go from a clinical specification to deployment, thus enabling clinicians to specify (and change) clinical status conditions and to automate...

Flood management is an important approach to reduce damage caused by floods. In this context, technological architectures which work in real-time are needed. However, Brazil has faced many structural difficulties in obtaining updated information on the current state of its rivers. To address this problem, this paper outlines a geosensor dashboard called AGORA-GeoDash, which processes data strea...

In this design study, we present a visualization technique that segments patients’ histories instead of treating them as raw event sequences, aggregates the segments using criteria such as the whole history or treatment combinations, and then visualizes the aggregated segments as static dashboards that are arranged in a dashboard network to show longitudinal changes. The static dashboards were ...

BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) causes significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill surgical patients. Recent studies suggest that the success of preventive measures is dependent on compliance with ventilator bundle parameters. HYPOTHESIS Implementation of an electronic dashboard will improve compliance with the bundle parameters and reduce rates of VAP in our surgic...

The advent of Web 2.0 tools has provided organizations with new models and tools to improve collaboration and co-creation of new knowledge assets. In particular, the shift to Open Innovation models has been recognized as a major change in the way companies create and manage innovat...

Background: Contemporary software development organizations utilize multiple channels to disseminate information about their indicators, measures, trends and predictions. Selecting these channels is usually done based on the availability of the visualization technology and a set of requirements elicited from stakeholders at the company. Eliciting these kind of requirements can be labor-intensiv...
