DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SEMINARTitle: "Healthcare Processes: From Art to Science"Speaker: Maria D. Lee, PhD, MBA - Director, Healthcare Performance Improvement, Kaiser PermanenteABSTRACT: The Healthcare Industry in the United States is undergoing a transformation parallel to the one experienced by the US Agricultural Industry in the early 1900s or the Aviation Industry in the late 1900s. From being grossly inefficient and costly, these industries became very efficient and affordable through a major infrastructure and systems overhaul. In this seminar we will be discussing the practical aspects of driving change in Healthcare from a disorganized, intuition-managed system to a metrics-managed system that is focused on quality, efficiency and affordability.THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010, GERONTOLOGY BUILDING (GER) ROOM 309, 3:30 - 5:00 PM
