International Conference on Systems Analysis Tools for Better Health Care Delivery: A New Engineering/Health Care Partnership March 24 - 26, 2010 Gainesville, Florida

General Information

Health care is commonly described as a system, but in many situations it was not created as a system and is not managed as a system. In the last decade, a broad range of systems-engineering tools (e.g. Optimization), information technologies, and associated technical, operational and strategic processes become available to be adapted to improve the health care efficiency and effectiveness. To highlight and support the role of systems analysis tools in current health care delivery, and to promote interaction between researchers globally, an international conference will be launched starting in 2010, focusing on systems analysis tools in hospital logistics and clinical scheduling. The theme for the conference is "Systems Analysis Tools for Better Health Care Delivery".

The 2010 International Conference on Systems Analysis Tools for Better Health Care Delivery: A New Engineering / Health Care Partnership, is organized by the Center for Applied Optimization and the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida on March 24-26, 2010, and will take place at the J. Wayne Reitz Union, University of Florida.
