Falk von Dincklage

Position: Lead of clinical use case ‘Quality benchmarking dashboards‘

I am a professor of anesthesiology and intensive care medicine as well as a medical informatics specialist at University Medicine Greifswald, in north-eastern Germany.

In clinical work I’m the deputy director of our department of anesthesiology and intensive care medicine. In research I lead a scientific work group that focuses on investigating and developing clinical decision support systems and intelligent quality management systems for intensive care medicine.

What am I up to during INDICATE?

I am the lead for the clinical use case ‘Quality benchmarking dashboard’ in which my team and I provide a system to automatically monitor and benchmark the quality of care across participating hospitals. We are also contributing to data standardization as the foundation for an interoperable infrastructure.

Participating in INDICATE provides the opportunity to cooperate with partners across Europe towards the common goal to provide a common intensive care data infrastructure across Europe. Standardizing the intensive care data infrastructure provides the foundation to share software like clinical decision support systems and intelligent quality management systems which ultimately contributes to improve patient care across hospitals in Europe.
