Workshop: Healthcare Systems Engineering Research and Education Leadership Workshop; University of Arkansas; Fayetteville, Arkansas; May 20-21, 2010

这笔赠款为举办为期两天的卫生系统工程和领导力研讨会提供资金。虽然学术界一些开创性的卫生系统工程(HSE)项目几十年来一直专注于工程交付过程和操作，但直到最近几年，HSE的巨大潜在贡献才开始得到广泛承认。其结果是医疗保健提供研究活动和教育项目在学术单位之间爆炸式增长，特别是那些专门从事工业、系统和相关工程分支的单位。与其每个HSE学术项目单独发展，现在是时候创建一个领导力社区，在那里可以分享想法，并在HSE研究和HSE教育方面形成合作。本次研讨会将于2010年5月20日至21日在费耶特维尔的阿肯色大学(U Of A)举办为期两天的医疗系统工程研究和教育领导力研讨会，从25至30名最著名的HSE学术研究和教育项目的领导者中挑选出一组领导人，开始这一网络建设。研讨会将包括分组，以建立推进HSE研究和教育的广泛使命的愿景，以及下一步应采取哪些具体步骤。如果成功，这次研讨会将为一个新的充满活力和凝聚力的HSE社区提供一个明确的路线图，以加快其研究贡献，以提高医疗保健提供的成本、安全性和有效性，同时使未来的HSE领导者做好继续和推广这些成就的准备。一个正式的书面报告和网站，还将广泛传播由与会者提交的收集到的项目信息，并添加关于教育、学生观点和持续论坛的讨论。

This grant provides funding to hold a two day workshop on health systems engineering and leadership. While a few pioneering health systems engineering (HSE) programs in academia have focused for decades on engineering delivery processes and operations, it is only in recent years that the enormous potential contributions of HSE are beginning to be widely recognized. The result has been an explosion of healthcare delivery research activities and education programs across academic units, especially those specializing in industrial, systems and related branches of engineering. Rather than each of the HSE academic programs evolving alone, it is time to create a leadership community where ideas can be shared and collaborations formed on both HSE research and HSE education. This workshop will begin this network-building by convening a select group of leaders from 25-30 of the most prominent HSE academic research and education programs in a two-day Healthcare Systems Engineering Research and Education Leadership Workshop at the University of Arkansas (U of A) in Fayetteville on May 20-21, 2010. The workshop will include breakout groups to build a vision for advancing the broad missions of HSE research and education, and what specific next steps should be pursued. If successful this workshop will provide a definitive roadmap to a newly energized and cohesive HSE community accelerating its research contributions to improve cost, safety and effectiveness of healthcare delivery, while preparing the HSE leaders of the future to continue and extend those achievements. A formal written report and website and will also disseminate widely the collected program information submitted by attendees and add accounts of discussions on education, student viewpoints, and a continuing forum.
