GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
A collaborative research group based within the Massachusetts General Hospital Emergency Department (MGH ED) is developing a platform for automated clinical decisionsupport during critical care of trauma patients. The system is an enhancement of the teams previously implemented APPRAISE system (Automated Processing of the Physiological Registry for Assessment of Injury Severity) which was successfully deployed onboard Boston Medflight helicopters during actual clinical operations. Once the new system is developed and tested it is intended for deployment into the MGH ED in late 2016 or early 2017 as part of an investigation into the clinical impact of automated decisionsupport on the quality of care provided to trauma patients. The computing platform will also be developed to accommodate other decisionsupport functionality including decisionsupport for patients with sepsis and with acute spinal cord injury.
The successful applicant will take on a leadership role in developing formal specifications based on the clinical requirements identifying implementation options for the system selecting the optimal implementation option with the input of the collaborative team independently building the software solution documenting the software implementation and testing the software solution. After clinical deployment responsibilities will include ongoing maintenance and QA of the operational system. Functionality will be added in a phased approach with basic functionality established in the initial 12 mo and additional capabilities in later time intervals.
Reporting to the projects Principle Investigator the Software Engineer takes primary responsibility for the build test release maintenance support and documentation of the platform.
