A Conference on Improving Patient Care by Rethinking Processes, Systems and Organizations
September 18-19, 2008, Medical Education and Research Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Healthcare providers are under increasing pressure to reduce waste and eliminate unnecessary costs while improving the quality and consistency of the care they provide. As a result, more attention is turning to the operational enablers of care, such as responsive patient and provider scheduling systems, efficient and timely patient flow management, and technology-enabled decision-support tools.
Increasingly, practitioners and academics from across the medicine-business-engineering spectrum and beyond are focusing their efforts on helping healthcare providers improve both the quality and efficiency of care. Innovations in systems and process analysis, OR/patient flow, automation and expert systems, scheduling policies, advanced analytical techniques, and other contemporary sciences are being applied to address the myriad challenges facing health care today.
The Innovations in Healthcare Delivery conference series brings together healthcare managers, physicians, and researchers from a variety of backgrounds and specialties to present and discuss new insights and creative solutions for the efficient delivery of high-quality care.
