===== Session Title: MBSE Concepts Applied to a Hospital Emergency Department

• Organizers
  • Bob Malins, Eagle Summit Technology Associates, Inc. ([email protected])
  • Chris Unger, GE Healthcare ([email protected])
  • Steve Badelt, Suttons Creek, Inc. ([email protected])

• Emergency Departments (EDs) provide 11% of all outpatient visits and are the entry portal for roughly 1/2 of all hospital admissions (Am. College of Emergency Physicians, 2012). Therefore ED efficiency and effectiveness is critical to the overall healthcare system. This makes EDs an ideal candidate for evaluating the “system approach” that systems engineering can provide to healthcare.

Systems and systems engineering primer for biomedical-healthcare

The healthcare track at the INCOSE International Workshop will bring together clinicians, healthcare simulation experts, medical device manufacturers, and systems engineers to evaluate and refine an emerging systems engineering modeling approach to healthcare operations. The workshop will provide …

• Clinicians and hospital administrators with a new perspective on representing the many interactions and dependencies within a hospital department

• Medical device manufacturers with a new tool for analyzing the use conditions within an ED that impact device design and safety

• Healthcare simulation experts with an approach to a common framework for developing simulations and comparing results across multiple simulation types

• Clinical engineers and systems engineers with a deeper understanding of how to tailor for healthcare the systems engineering tools developed by other industries

• Detailed agenda and speaker list
