RESCHEDULED - ISyE Seminar Series: Bjorn Berg

"Learning Health Systems Research: An Industrial Engineering Perspective and Examples"

Bjorn Berg

Associate Professor in the Division of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health 
University of Minnesota

About the Seminar:

Learning health systems research relies on a strong mutually beneficial relationship between healthcare delivery systems and research. The tenets of learning health systems research often align with the domain and research approach of healthcare systems engineering and its related disciplines. This talk will present takeaways for doing learning health systems research from an industrial engineering perspective. Research and practice examples will be presented based collaborations with family medicine departments from different healthcare delivery systems.
