IE Perspectives - Health Care Operations Management
As a main component of my masters program I decided to take an independent study route for three credits. The result was a 43 page report titled "Health Care Operations Management from an Industrial Engineering Perspective". To introduce the motivations and brief lessons, the following is from the report's conclusion.
While the issues rage on in health care, like any other political issue, I still have faith in the process. One of the most gratifying aspects of industrial engineering is that improvement can be found in any system, and the process of searching, analyzing and solving problems is a continuous cycle. The acknowledgement of this process eliminates the hope of a hero solution and that the future relies on only one decision.
