The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from the fields of medicine and operations research in order to identify and address important issues pertinent to improving the cost, quality, efficiency, and efficacy of health systems. Events where experts in both fields can interact are scarce, and this workshop is unique in its expected ability to initiate and foster research collaborations among leading researchers in the two fields that can, through the synergy of their respective expertise, better address the next generation of health systems challenges.A large number of problems in medicine and health systems can benefit from insights and capabilities developed in the field of mathematical modeling and optimization. At the same time, the difficulty of many of these problems is expected to require new methodological contributions in the field of operations research: accommodating data and model uncertainties, the large-scale nature of real-world problems, the dynamics of changing human anatomy, interplay of systems across scales, and competing policies and criteria, etc. Therefore, this workshop has the potential to advance knowledge in both fields. In addition to allowing key participants from both fields to participate, this award will also allow a large number of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and medical interns to take part in the workshop as well.

本次研讨会的目的是汇集来自医学和运筹学领域的专家，以确定和解决有关提高卫生系统的成本，质量，效率和功效的重要问题。这两个领域的专家能够进行互动的活动很少，而这次研讨会的独特之处在于，它有望在这两个领域的主要研究人员之间发起和促进研究合作，通过各自专业知识的协同作用，更好地应对下一代卫生系统的挑战。医学和卫生系统中的大量问题可以从以下领域发展的见解和能力中受益：数学建模和优化。与此同时，许多这些问题的困难，预计需要在运筹学领域的新方法的贡献：适应数据和模型的不确定性，现实世界的问题，不断变化的人体解剖学，跨尺度系统的相互作用的动态，以及竞争的政策和标准等，因此，本次研讨会有可能在这两个领域的知识。除了允许这两个领域的主要参与者参加外，该奖项还将允许大量研究生，博士后研究员和医学实习生参加研讨会。
