Human-Centered Design of a Visual Analytics Dashboard for In-Hospital Clinical Deterioration in Children

To monitor trends for late recognition of deterioration, developing a visual analytics dashboard helps address clinical deterioration rates in pediatric health systems. The dashboard enables ongoing trend analysis and detecting outliers in patient demographics or hospital units through control chart implementation using control limits set at 3 standard errors. The deterioration outcomes are defined by published evidence where EHR documentation can inform the cohort needing ICU interventions within a specific time.
