Engineering a Learning Healthcare System: A Look at the Future: Workshop Summary
Institute Of Medicine; National Academy Of Engineering. Ed(S): Grossman, Claudia; Goolsby, W. Alexander; Olsen, Leighanne; McGinnis, J. Michael
Improving our nation's healthcare system is a challenge which, because of its scale and complexity, requires a creative approach and input from many different fields of expertise. Lessons from engineering have the potential to improve both the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery. The fundamental notion of a high-performing healthcare system-one that increasingly is more effective, more efficient, safer, and higher quality-is rooted in continuous improvement principles that medicine shares with engineering. As part of its Learning Health System series of workshops, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Value and Science-Driven Health Care and the National Academy of Engineering, hosted ... Read more
