Would you like to know what impact applying advanced analytical methods and tools can have on health care? The answer to this question can be found at this year’s Mayo Clinic Conference on Systems Engineering and Operations Research on August 10 — 12 at Mayo Clinic.

This unique conference brings together health care professionals, operations research practitioners and academic faculty and students to share and discuss the effective application of systems engineering (SE) and operations management (OM) tools as they relate to health care.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
Conference attendees will have an opportunity to join colleagues in discussions about how health care providers, SE and OM practitioners and academic leaders can collaborate to address the current challenges being faced by the health care industry.
Among the highlights of the conference, William Pierskalla, Ph.D., will share an overview of systems engineering and operations research in health care settings and demonstrate how good engineering can have a positive impact on patient care. Following Pierskalla’s presentation, a Mayo Clinic patient, family members and a care team will describe a health care journey influenced by systems thinking.
Another unique session, facilitated by Michael Rock, M.D., a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon, will be open to all conference attendees. Dr. Rock will describe his personal experience with applying advanced analytical methods and tools to patient care.
Attendees have the option of submitting abstracts for poster presentations at the conference. Abstracts are due July 15, 2011, and details for submission are available at mayo.edu/cme/.
