    Abstract:
    Objective The aim of the study is to describe the development of a cancer rehabilitation dashboard that collects data on physical function for cancer survivors in a cancer institute. Methods This project was conducted at the Miami Cancer Institute. The cancer rehabilitation dashboard was developed by a team of physicians, biostatistician, and medical informatics teams to record, report and track the physical function of cancer survivors. A multimodal approach to the measurement of physical function was used and included the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System–Physical Function short form, Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System–Fatigue short form, Timed Up and Go Test, Sit-to-Stand Test in 30-sec test, four-stage balance test, and grip strength. To develop this system, a Cerner Power Form was developed based on the physical function data. To display the data, a dedicated flowsheet was developed and placed within the Oncology Viewpoint in Cerner Millennium. Thus, from inside any patient record, the flowsheet could easily be accessed by providers without leaving normal clinician workflows. Using native functionality, the data can also be shown in graphical format to facilitate dialog with patients and oncology teams. All patient data from the Cerner Power Form discrete task assays were integrated into an existing Oncology Data Warehouse for all patients. The data elements in the Cerner Power Form were identified in the electronic medical record system, loaded into the Oncology Data Warehouse, and related to the other source systems to develop reports and data visualizations such as the cancer rehabilitation dashboard. The cancer rehabilitation dashboard allows visualization of numerous parameters of physical function in cancer survivors evaluated and treated and their change over time. Rendered in Tableau, the cancer rehabilitation dashboard acts as a centralized, interactive data source to analyze and connect clinicians to near real-time data. Results The cancer rehabilitation dashboard was successfully developed and implemented into a cancer rehabilitation practice in a cancer institute and used to collect and track physical function data for cancer survivors receiving treatment and cancer survivors. This information has been used to direct the treatment plan and educate individual patients about the impact of the cancer and its treatment on physical function as well as oncology teams in a cancer institute. Conclusions The cancer rehabilitation dashboard provides an insight into the physical function of cancer survivors receiving treatment and cancer survivors using both self-reported and objective metrics. It can be customized to suit the interests of clinicians and researchers wishing to improve the quality of life of this population.

    This chapter illustrates a dashboard showing how efficiently hospital operating rooms (ORs) are being scheduled and utilized. This hospital OR utilization dashboard displays surgical case and OR information in a clear and easy-to-understand way and helps OR managers, staff, surgeons, and anesthesiologists identify potential opportunities for improvement. The metrics included in this dashboard help viewers to compare the accuracy of the amount of time projected for an operation against the actual time it takes to perform. The ability to break down each OR by day (the Gantt bars in the dashboard) shows the problems in detail. A calendar view and heat map works on this dashboard in order to satisfy the design objectives. In the calendar view, one can move the day of the month up to the top left corner of each day and use a smaller font so that it would not interfere with the data in each cell.

    The paper deals with the communication between the infotainment elements and the drive component of the car using the CAN bus. In the introduction, there is briefly described the communication bus used in cars. It describes its basic features, benefits and utilization. The main task is graphically programmed and builds a dashboard that will resemble to a real dashboard from a Volkswagen Golf 5. Using the dashboard built in LabVIEW, it controls the real dashboard.

    Dashboard is a computer interface that displays a variety of charts, graphs, tables, which are selected reports from various data that are considered important to display rapidly, with an attractive appearance, dynamic, and relevant so that it can immediately be seen quickly to analyze a condition. Dashboard information system is widely used in various companies as a support system for decision-making where Dashboard usually displays data business trends of the company or the achievement of KPI (Key Performance Indicator) of a company. The method used is descriptive analysis by means of collecting information that areimportant for universities to be considered asthe Key Success Factors (KSF) of the university, and then, the design of the dashboard is made in accordance with these important factors.The result of this study is a grand design of information systems for the university performance monitoring, starting from the reception of students, faculty performance, student academic achievement, effectiveness and efficiency of services, including graduates. It is expected that by the time the system has been fully implemented, the university can take action quickly and accurately with respect to the required conditions.Keywords: Information System Dashboard; Dashboard; Academic Dashboard; University Dashboard

    Workflow enacting systems are a popular technology in business and e-science alike to flexibly define and enact complex data processing tasks. Since the construction of a workflow for a specific task can become quite complex, efforts are currently underway to increase the re-use of workflows through the implementation of specialized workflow repositories. While existing methods to exploit the knowledge in these repositories usually consider workflows as an atomic entity, our work is based on the fact that workflows can naturally be viewed as graphs. Hence, in this paper we investigate the use of graph kernels for the problems of workflow discovery, workflow recommendation, and workflow pattern extraction, paying special attention on the typical situation of few labeled and many unlabeled workflows. To empirically demonstrate the feasibility of our approach we investigate a dataset of bioinformatics workflows retrieved from the website myexperiment.org. 1

    Workflow reuse is a major benefit of workflow systems and shared workflow repositories, but there are barely any studies that quantify the degree of reuse of workflows or the practical barriers that may stand in the way of successful reuse. In our own work, we hypothesize that defining workflow fragments improves reuse, since end-to-end workflows may be very specific and only partially reusable by others. This paper reports on a study of the current use of workflows and workflow fragments in labs that use the LONI Pipeline, a popular workflow system used mainly for neuroimaging research that enables users to define and reuse workflow fragments. We present an overview of the benefits of workflows and workflow fragments reported by users in informal discussions. We also report on a survey of researchers in a lab that has the LONI Pipeline installed, asking them about their experiences with reuse of workflow fragments and the actual benefits they perceive. This leads to quantifiable indicators of the reuse of workflows and workflow fragments in practice. Finally, we discuss barriers to further adoption of workflow fragments and workflow reuse that motivate further work.
