Background and objective: This study proposes an infrastructure with a reporting workflow optimization algorithm (RWOA) in order to interconnect facilities, reporting units and radiologists on a single access interface, to increase the efficiency of the reporting process by decreasing the medical report turnaround time and to increase the quality of medical reports by determining the optimum match between the inspection and radiologist in terms of subspecialty, workload and response time.

An Infrastructure for efficient reporting workflow in grid based teleradiology applications Yılmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2015) This study proposes an infrastructure with a global workﬂow management algorithm in order to interconnect facilities, reporting units and radiologists on a single access interface. This infrastructure is enhanced by a reporting workﬂow optimization algorithm (RWOA) to determine the optimum match between the inspection and radiologist in terms of experience, subspeciality, response time and workload parameters. RWOA increases the eﬃciency of the reporting process by decreasing access time to medical images a...
An Infrastructure for Efficient Reporting Workflow in Grid Based Teleradiology Architectures Using Relation Based Semantic Matching and Integer Linear Programming Yilmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Baykal, Nazife (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); 2014-09-10) This paper proposes an infrastructure with a global workflow management algorithm in order to interconnect facilities and reporting units on a single access interface, decrease the access time of medical images and increase the efficiency of the reporting process. The inspection and radiologist attributes extracted by Grid Agent are modelled using a hierarchical ontology structure based on Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Conformance and DICOM Content Mapping Resource and World Health ...
An interactive evolutionary algorithm for the multiobjective relocation problem with partial coverage Orbay, Berk; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Operational Research (2011) In this study, a bi-objective capacitated facility location problem is presented which includes partial coverage concept and relocation of facility nodes. In partial coverage, a predefined distance between a demand node and a facility node is assumed to be fully covered. After the predefined distance, the service level commences to decay linearly. The problem is designed to consider the existence of already functioning facility nodes. It is allowed to close these existing facilities and open new facilities ...
A Semantic Transformation Methodology for the Secondary Use of Observational Healthcare Data in Postmarketing Safety Studies Pacaci, Anil; Gonul, Suat; Sinaci, A. Anil; Yuksel, Mustafa; Laleci Erturkmen, Gokce B. (Frontiers Media SA, 2018-4-30) Background: Utilization of the available observational healthcare datasets is key to complement and strengthen the postmarketing safety studies. Use of common data models (CDM) is the predominant approach in order to enable large scale systematic analyses on disparate data models and vocabularies. Current CDM transformation practices depend on proprietarily developed Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) procedures, which require knowledge both on the semantics and technical characteristics of the source datasets an...
A balanced scorecard model for the performance measurement of enterprise resource planning imlementation Arık, Ayşe Gül; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2006) In this study, the applicability of the Balanced Scorecard Framework, developed by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton in 1992 for measuring performance at the organizational level or the business unit level, to performance measurement during the implementation phase of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is investigated. A model based on the Balanced Scorecard Framework is presented with sample indicators for each of the four perspectives -Financial Perspective, Customer Perspective, Internal Busin...
