Description
Through dynamic video lectures and practical application questions, you will learn about the Foundations of Healthcare Systems Engineering. In this course you will learn about the current lack of synchronized, efficient, and integrated healthcare systems, which are some of the drivers for improvements to healthcare delivery. Also in this course, you will learn about the different types of systems and how they are translated to the healthcare field for appropriate systems engineering process applications, with exemplars. Upon system type articulation and mapping, the systems engineering approach will be introduced to help begin the process of: 1) investigating healthcare challenges, needs, and requirements development; 2) developing system concepts, that are derived from requirements, and then realized in physical and process form; and finally, 3) the establishment of means to verify, validate, and deploy healthcare systems that address the need and meet requirements. Applications and exemplars will be provided.
Knowledge
- Baseline the needs in healthcare delivery and articulate how and why the systems engineering approach can address many of the needs.Â
- Enumerate the different system types, their attributes, characteristics, with exemplars.Â
- Describe the systems engineering approach and conceptualize how to solve healthcare system challenges with this approach.
- Delineate and map the variety of healthcare systems to the system types and begin systems engineering problem solving with exemplars.Â
