Abstract

Medicine residency is a challenging graduate medical training in which residents (in Dutch: AIOS: ‘Arts in Opleiding tot Specialist’) are exposed to one of the medical specialties. This study aimed to propose a framework for the planning and control of residents’ activities, in order to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and job satisfaction of the department, the residency program and the residents. To reach its goal, a case study is performed on the Radiology department of the UMCG. The case study is used to underpin the need for a planning and control framework, develop requirements for the framework and illustrate and evaluate the possible use of the framework. During the case study, a planning and control framework is developed. The developed framework is meant to serve as a reference architecture for designing systems for the planning and control residents’ activities. The setup of the framework acknowledges the need to address problem complexity by a hierarchical decomposition of the planning and control tasks. By identifying planning levels, planning activities and performance criteria, it is meant to guide the planning and control system design.
