Join us at an upcoming information session at 12 p.m. EST on Wed., February 5:
The Industrial and Systems Engineering and Systems Science disciplines play a significant role in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems.
They have helped healthcare facilities improve quality management, scheduling and sequencing in outpatient clinics, and operational control, such as medical records and patient turnaround time in emergency rooms.
Hear what our recent alumni have to say about the program.
The research methodology looks at current work flow, identifies bottlenecks, and finally proposes solutions and recommendations, using modeling, simulation, problem solving, statistical analysis, human factors engineering and data mining.
The focus is on improving safety, cost, quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery processes.
This 12-month program is designed to provide individuals with a bachelor鈥檚 degree the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills for modeling, analyzing and/or designing healthcare delivery systems and processes.
Career Outlook
