PhD student,
Alfian graduated from Parahyangan Catholic University, Indonesia. He gets his Bachelor's and Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and has become a lecturer in his alma-mater since 2012. Most of his teaching and research activities have something to do with computer programming and system simulation, inventory system modeling, quality control and improvement, and multi-criteria decision making.
He recently found an interest in healthcare engineering especially in the application of quality control tools for clinical practice performance monitoring. He is now pursuing his PhD with a project of clinical practice variations modeling in order to analyze the impact of the variations to patient related outcomes and operational efficiency.

Alfian is now doing a research in clinical practice variations modeling. In the beginning, this research aims to find a method that can properly map or capture the variations which may come from the patient condition, medical staff knowledge and skill, resource availability, medical team interaction, decision making process, and so on.
The challenge of this research would also come from the effort to develop or find a method that can accurately measure the sources of variations and gather the data without much interference to medical staff activities. Hence, automatic measurement method would be considered.
In the end, the model and its related data input will be used to develop an understanding on how a certain clinical practice behaves in terms of its effect on certain patient safety issue and process efficiency.
