PhD/MS students




Graduate students supported by the center engage in various projects that are of interest to our health systems leaders. Selected projects include reducing medication errors, optimal care delivery, and health information technology. Working closely with our industrial leaders, the students map out process flows, perform time-motion studies, design systems models, perform experiments, validation, and sensitivity analysis, and implement decision support systems to provide recommendations and solution strategies to reach the objectives of the projects.
