Improving Outcomes Through Optimization

OSF Innovation, through Jump Simulation, uses research as a means to embrace change and take on the largest health care challenges. Our research improves patient safety, ensures access to high-quality health care and bends the cost curve in the medical industry. Utilizing simulation and engineering techniques, we work to ensure that hospitals, clinics, offices, outpatient centers and home health care systems are optimally designed to improve outcomes.

Research Agenda

The power of simulation to improve patient care outcomes is being tested and explored through three different approaches to research.

Success in educational research is identified by increased competence based on observational markers, changes in process or behavior, improved patient safety and other clinical outcomes.

Applied research focuses on moving a proven technology or process into the real clinical space. Simulation's role is to facilitate the movement from "bench to bedside" through rapid cycles of discovery and design.

Research Phases

The research phases used by Jump Sim differ from the standard used by most clinical research agendas. While all of our research projects fall under one of the phases, not every criteria for that phase has to be met.

Phase I

Grant prospecting, research design, protocol development, baseline data and preparation for research.

Phase II

Approvals, contract finalization, operational planning, budget development, roll out, pre-testing and dry runs.

Phase III

Implementation, enrollment, review, testing, data collection, data quality assurance and preparation for statistical review.

Phase IV

Data analysis planning, query resolutions, manuscript preparation, presentation of outcomes and publication.
