- Discusses the key functions of healthcare operations management, such as patient and process flow, process improvement, facility layout, staffing and scheduling, capacity planning, and resource allocation.
- Focuses on analysis, design, management, and control of health systems and processes that are necessary to provide clinical care.
- The applications of systems engineering methods, such as optimization, simulation, and queuing models, are discussed through papers and case studies in different care settings (e.g., hospitals, emergency departments, surgery departments, and outpatient clinics) for different diseases (e.g. diabetes, cancer, mental health, cardiovascular disease).
- Uses spreadsheet tools to model and solve simulation and optimization problems.
- Requires equivalent course work if prerequisites are not met.
