Through dynamic video lectures and practical application questions, you will learn about the Foundations of Healthcare Systems Engineering. In this course you will learn about the current lack of synchronized, efficient, and integrated healthcare systems, which are some of the drivers for improvements to healthcare delivery. Also in this course, you will learn about the different types of systems and how they are translated to the healthcare field for appropriate systems engineering process applications, with exemplars. Upon system type articulation and mapping, the systems engineering approach will be introduced to help begin the process of: 1) investigating healthcare challenges, needs, and requirements development; 2) developing system concepts, that are derived from requirements, and then realized in physical and process form; and finally, 3) the establishment of means to verify, validate, and deploy healthcare systems that address the need and meet requirements. Applications and exemplars will be provided.

TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS OF HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
Really informative of the health care industry and planning of biomedical technologies.
Very interesting course that could help a lot in good Engineering of the Healthcare Systems
Great course content-wise. The slides could have been made available. As could have been the bibliography and a few applied examples to relate the concepts too.
There was good and enough information to start understanding system engineering. I'd like some more reallife examples of system engineering application
