We would like to invite you to the live symposium ‘Data-driven decisions in health care’. The symposium is organized prior to the PhD ceremony of Mathijs Hendriks, medical oncologist at the Noordwest Hospital Group and PhD candidate at the University of Twente, where he will defend his thesis: ‘Data-driven decision support for multidisciplinary clinical decision-making and reporting in breast cancer’.
Mathijs Hendriks has conducted his research in close cooperation with Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL) in recent years. His dissertation addresses the challenge of supporting decision-making within multidisciplinary consultations with clinical decision trees and data. In addition, a concept model for decision trees as the basis of a self-learning care system has been developed and included in the dissertation as a viewpoint. During the symposium, the implementation of data-driven processes in oncological care will be discussed in a broader perspective.
