--Engineering - Other (59)This project is developing and piloting a healthcare systems engineering (HSE) minor for engineering undergraduate students at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The coursework focuses on the analysis, design and continuous improvement of healthcare services and systems. This is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort including industrial engineering in the college of engineering, health management and informatics in the school of medicine, the university hospitals and clinics and the college of education.The PIs are utilizing a systems approach to teach students to address problematic situations in healthcare improvement. Graduates of this program have a thorough understanding of the design and operation of healthcare systems and can incorporate all of the necessary elements into a system that is effective in terms of service, quality, patient safety and system costs. Four courses are being developed along with a capstone design course. The capstone course allows student teams to work with sponsoring hospitals or health-care providers to solve real life problems related to healthcare improvement. The additional courses are (1) Systems Perspective of Modern Healthcare, (2) Introduction to Healthcare Structure, Technologies and Operations, (3) Methodologies and Tools of System Engineering, and (4) Healthcare Systems Design and Analysis.This project is teaching students to approach a problematic situation in healthcare improvement through a systems perspective. Unlike a functional approach, this is encouraging students to consider healthcare activities in their entirety, utilizing systems concepts such as objectives, relationships and transformation. The project is being evaluated to determine progress toward goals and overall project success utilizing questionnaires, interviews of participants, evaluator site visits, and classroom observation. Project related information and findings are available to both academic and professional communities via a project website.

（59）该项目正在为密苏里-哥伦比亚大学工程本科学生开发和试点一门医疗系统工程（HSE）辅修课程。本课程着重于医疗服务和系统的分析、设计和持续改进。这是一个多学科的合作项目，包括工程学院的工业工程、医学院的健康管理和信息学、大学医院和诊所以及教育学院。pi正在利用系统方法教学生解决医疗保健改善中的问题情况。该课程的毕业生对医疗保健系统的设计和操作有透彻的了解，并能将所有必要的元素整合到一个有效的服务、质量、患者安全和系统成本方面的系统中。四门课程正在开发与顶点设计课程。顶点课程允许学生团队与赞助医院或医疗保健提供者合作，解决与医疗保健改善相关的现实生活问题。额外的课程有：(1)现代医疗系统视角；(2)医疗结构、技术与操作概论；(3)系统工程方法与工具；(4)医疗系统设计与分析。这个项目是教学生通过系统的角度来解决医疗保健改善中的问题。与功能性方法不同，这鼓励学生从整体上考虑医疗保健活动，利用目标、关系和转化等系统概念。利用问卷调查、参与者访谈、评估人员实地考察和课堂观察，评估项目以确定目标的进展和整个项目的成功。通过项目网站，学术和专业团体都可以获得与项目相关的信息和发现。
