INCOSE-LA April 4, 2019 Speaker Meeting
What Healthcare Industry Needs from SE, Bohdan Oppenheim,
Director of Healthcare Systems Engineering, LMU, Los Angeles

RSVP

ABSTRACT: The presentation will describe the new field of Healthcare Systems Engineering (HSE). We start with a review of a highly imperfect healthcare system in the U.S. Then we introduce how HSE started: the White House PCAST 2014 Report calling for the use of Systems Engineering (SE) in healthcare. Then basics of Systems Engineering as needed in healthcare delivery operations are reviewed, and they are very different from the aerospace-type of SE. Next, we present in depth the power of various elements of Healthcare SE. Finally, the prestigious Master's program in HSE at Loyola Marymount University in Healthcare Systems Engineering is briefly described; created in cooperation with Kaiser Permanente. We differentiate the HSE education from that of MBA, Master of Public Health, or medical. The curriculum has been designed to address the biggest challenges in U.S. healthcare, including fragmentation, suboptimal outcomes and imperfect patient safety, imperfect Electronic Records, provider burnout, waste, accelerating technology, and others.

BIOGRAPHY: Bohdan "Bo" W. Oppenheim is a Professor of Systems Engineering at LMU in Los Angeles. He serves as the Director of the Healthcare Systems Engineering Master's Program at LMU, a premiere HSE program in the nation created in close partnership with Kaiser Permanente. Oppenheim is the author of four books and authored and co-authored chapters in six other books and published 30 journal papers. He was honored with three Shingo Awards, INCOSE Product of the Year Award, INCOSE Fellowship, and over $2 million in external grants. He worked at Northrop Electronics during 1986-90.
