TimeCaT: 10-year journey of continuous improvement of a comprehensive framework for Time Motion Studies

Presentation Time: 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Abstract Keywords: Workflow, Data Standards, Information Visualization
Primary Track: Applications
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics

Time Motion Studies (TMS) are commonly used to analyze clinical workflows, but the lack of standardization in
measuring multitasking, interruptions and inter-observer reliability leads to non-comparable results across studies,
raising concerns about the validity of TMS findings. In response, we developed a comprehensive Time Capture Tool
equipped with novel methods to address each issue. TimeCaT provides researchers with an easy-to-use and
customizable tool, aiming at disseminating a common TMS framework and decreasing the methodological drift.
