• The objective of the workshop is to make an initial step towards defining how the profession of systems engineering can contribute to achieving the goals recommended in the report by the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) entitled “Better Healthcare and Lower Costs: Accelerating Improvement Through Systems Engineering”.
• The goal of the workshop is to create a dynamic exchange of information among three groups of participants: stakeholders who provide healthcare across all environments, capability providers who “model the system” to improve effectiveness and safety, and systems thinkers and systems engineers who define “integrating environments” that link people, systems and tools through use cases.
• Each session will consist of a set of presentations on the session topic followed by a working session where the attendees attempt to build a systems engineering diagram that captures key processes, key relationships, and key problems requiring a systems approach.

Session 1 Stakeholder Needs – the session focus is on stakeholders providing healthcare and addresses the question of identifying the systems that healthcare delivery organizations believe are the high payoff applications of the systems approach

• This session will set the stage for the work performed in Sessions 2 and 3 by cataloging the key performers in healthcare delivery, developing a listing of the key systems each performer uses, and making a first cut at defining the shortfalls in these systems that could be resolved by applying systems thinking and system engineering.

2. Session 2 (Current Capabilities) is a hybrid “Outreach” and “In-reach” session that engages individuals (INCOSE and non-INCOSE) who specialize in modeling and simulation in both healthcare and non-healthcare application environments. The target participants are:

• INCOSE members interested in and specializing in modeling and simulation

• People in the biomedical and healthcare industries who are working with existing and under-development modeling and simulation tools.

• People in the other industries (e.g., nuclear, aerospace, etc.) who are working with existing and under-development modeling and simulation tools that have aspects applicable to the biomedical and healthcare industries.

• People in academia specializing in modeling and simulation, particularly in the biomedical and healthcare industries

• Regulators and standards developers with activities related to modeling and simulation (FDA, MDIC, OMG, etc.)

• Others – as subsequently identified

3. Session 3 (System Context Model) is a hybrid “Outreach” and “In-reach” session that brings together individuals (INCOSE and non-INCOSE) to necessary to develop a system context model. The target participants are:

• INCOSE members adept at systems context diagrams (no modeling tool expertise required)

• INCOSE members interested in and specializing in modeling and simulation

• Key individuals from the identified stakeholder groups (see Session 1) who are knowledgeable about the biomedical-healthcare environment and component parts
