Description: This session will discuss how a custom dashboard was constructed, using R Flexdashboard, which provided a one-stop-shop for quality metrics viewing, and reporting of key quality metrics. The session also discuss how the process may be used to interface with data pulled from the Epic Cogito module..
Learning Objectives: - Discuss how custom R dashboards can be constructed for quality tracking in a molecular laboratory- Discuss how such dashboards may interface with different commercial LISs, such as Epic Beaker
Learning Objectives: - Understand the Basics of R and Flexdashboard: Familiarize participants with the R programming language and the key features of the Flexdashboard package. - Explore Molecular Pathology Metrics: Identify and explain the key quality metrics relevant to molecular pathology that can be tracked using the dashboard. - Demonstrate Dashboard Development: Guide participants through the process of creating a custom Flexdashboard, including layout design, data integration, and visualization techniques.- Highlight Data Sources and Management: Discuss best practices for sourcing, managing, and cleaning data for effective quality tracking in a molecular pathology context. - Showcase Use Cases: Present real-world examples of how a Flexdashboard has been utilized for quality tracking in molecular pathology, emphasizing its impact on workflow and decision-making.
