| Healthcare Systems Engineering Program Description |
| The proposed Master of Science in Healthcare Systems Engineering is intended to provide engineers and healthcare professionals with a perspective on how systems engineering can be applied to healthcare to improve healthcare productivity, patient outcomes, and patient safety, and to identify and address problems using systems approaches in the delivery, management, safety, policies and evaluation of healthcare and related systems. Graduates will learn how systems engineering can be applied to healthcare, so that they can become leaders of this revolution. The course content will be based on the foundational content embodied in the current core systems engineering courses modified to provide relevant examples in the healthcare setting. Additional courses will be offered that include additional focus on medical sensors and devices, healthcare systems, healthcare networks and databases, and patient safety. Elective courses will include advanced system engineering courses and related courses offered by the Bloomberg School of Public Health in biostatistics, patient safety and medical errors, human factors in patient safety, quality of medical care, and epidemiology. |
