IEEE Seminar on Healthcare 4.0 – Smart and Interconnected Healthcare Systems
Healthcare 4.0 – Smart and Interconnected Healthcare Systems:
Problems, Opportunities, and Challenges
Dr. Jingshan Li
University of Wisconsin
In recent years, there have been growing interests in healthcare systems research worldwide to improve care quality, patient safety, and operation efficiency. In this talk, we will introduce the idea of Healthcare 4.0, i.e., the smart and interconnected healthcare systems. We will present lessons we learned and results we obtained during the journey of healthcare delivery system study. We plan to introduce the problems and issues, and then address the difficulties and opportunities in healthcare delivery systems. Next, we will provide a brief description of recent studies in healthcare delivery systems carried out at the Production and Service Systems Lab in University of Wisconsin-Madison. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future directions in healthcare systems research.
