Offer Description
At the Institute for Health Systems Science (IHSS) at the faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, a PhD position will become available dedicated to safety in healthcare systems. The IHSS is a recently established TPM initiative that has a mission to explore and promote systems science methods in Health & Care to enable safe and sustainable health & care for all. The IHSS leverages on the faculty’s long-standing record in a.o. complex systems science and safety science. The position will be based within the safety & security science section (3S). Safety science is a discipline that builds upon knowledge from a variety of disciplines including engineering, psychology, mathematics, economics, and philosophy. In 2018 healthcare became a key focus for 3S with the establishment of the Centre for Safety in Healthcare (CSH). In this PhD position, you will work with experts from different sections and departments in the faculty, as the IHSS aims to connect people involved in health & care research and education faculty wide.
It is increasingly recognized that complex challenges, such as safety and resilience, are best approached from a systems perspective. In healthcare, systems science is as yet underexplored and has significant potential to address its longstanding complex challenges. This PhD trajectory will focus on the added value of a systems perspective in the context of safety in healthcare, with a special emphasis on the professional and organisational responsibilities towards ensuring safe care. It will consider individual professional performance and professional views on safe care as related to the healthcare system design and functioning (as a sociotechnical system). In other words, how the actions of – and interaction between healthcare system (how it is organised and functions) and the care professional, can enhance or hamper safe care. The project includes an exploration into the underlying mental models of care professionals (both clinical and managerial) on properties of safe care, how they envision execution of the multitude of tasks involved, and how responsibilities are distributed. It further includes a modelling project, for which both qualitative and quantitative approaches can be used, to explore what system conditions, changes and/or incentives would be necessary to enhance sustained safer care in healthcare systems. While we are interested in these topics broadly, here we aim to zoom in on one of the following (use) cases: acute care, mental health, or cancer care.
Requirements
We are looking for a PhD candidate:
- with a background in systems engineering, clinical technology, safety science, or a related discipline;
- knowledge of or shown interest in the health care domain;
- preferably an additional degree or strong interest in philosophy;
- with basic knowledge on scientific methods to study complex challenges;
- professional proficiency in English (mandatory);
- proficiency in Dutch language is recommended.
Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis.
