Khasawney\, Departm ent Chair for the SSIE Department at Binghamton University - Thursday\, No vember 19th\, Start Time: \; 6:30 PM EST Healthcare Systems Engineer ing and Operations Management: The Journey from Applied Research to Academ ic Program Development Due to the ongoing transformation of the healthc are industry from a fee-for-service (volume-based) to a pay-for-performanc e (value-based) model\, the healthcare sector is constantly evolving every day. Moreover\, with the advances in today’s technology\, many hospital systems are transitioning into digital modes of operation. Therefore\, th ere is an increased need\, more than ever before\, to make the healthcare system safe\, effective\, patient-centered\, timely\, efficient\, and equi table. While systems engineering tools have been widely used in a variety of applications to achieve major improvements\, the healthcare sector has been slow in embracing them. The strategic use of these tools\, such as le an six-sigma\, applied operations research\, supply chain management\, mod eling and simulation\, project management\, and human factors engineering/ ergonomics\, can be readily used to measure\, characterize\, and optimize performance at various levels in a healthcare system. However\, building a better delivery system requires effective partnerships that can harness t he power of engineering\, health and healthcare sciences\, information tec hnology\, management\, and social sciences. Such partnerships are essentia l to transforming our under-performing healthcare system into high perform ance environments that produce premier quality care and better patient out comes at lower cost. \; The integration of such expertise can establis h next-generation policies and approaches in healthcare management\, syste ms engineering\, and outcomes research\, and ultimately transform our heal thcare system to one that embraces patient-centered care\, optimized opera tions\, efficacy\, safety\, and equity. The Watson Institute for Systems E xcellence (WISE)\, an institute for advanced studies at Binghamton Univers ity\, has been working (in a collaborative mode) with several U.S. and int ernational hospitals to accomplish such objectives. Therefore\, the purpos e of this workshop is to introduce the broad spectrum of applied research projects in the Healthcare Systems Engineering Center (HSEC)\, an organize d research center under the umbrella of WISE. Those research activities in clude\, but are not limited to: (a) workflow and process re-design\, (b) p roductivity assessment and capacity planning\, (c) strategic planning and future-state analysis\, (d) lean six-sigma and operational excellence\, (e ) integrated clinical environment modeling and healthcare data science and analytics\, and (f) digital human modeling for ergonomic assessment. Afte r describing the unique working model of his Healthcare Systems Engineerin g Center and its partner hospitals\, several case studies will be presente d and discussed. Building on successful partnerships with many health and hospital systems around the country\, an academic concentration and a degr ee program has been developed with options of study on-campus\, online\, a nd in Manhattan as part of an executive program.  \;  \; LOCATION:Zoom Meeting DTSTART:20201119T233000Z DTEND:20201120T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260413T122512Z ORGANIZER;CN=PMI Binghamton Chapter:MAILTO:vp_programs@pmi-binghamton.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
