Abstract:
|
Operations research has long been a cornerstone for
advancement of various industrial, government, and military applications. In particular,
computational and modeling technologies play an increasingly important role
in modern medicine, life sciences and health care. Many problems arising in
these domains can be formulated into mathematical models and can be analyzed
using sophisticated optimization, decision analysis, and computational
techniques. In this talk, we will share some of our health care and medical
experience in which operations research methodologies have be applied
successfully. In particular, we will present the use of operations research
in i) the treatment of cancer; ii) reducing medication errors; iii) chronic
disease management; and iv) public health and medical preparedness, emergency
response and disaster medicine. |

Biography:
|
Eva Lee is a Professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of
Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, and
Director of the Center for Operations Research in Medicine and Health Care.
She is also the Co-Director of the Center for Health Organization
Transformation, a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative
Research Center, and a Senior Health Systems Professor in the US Department
of Veterans Affairs. Lee works in the area of mathematical programming,
large-scale computational algorithms, and artificial intelligence, and
tackles challenges arising from industrial problems through systems modeling,
algorithms and software design, and decision theory analysis. Within
healthcare, Dr. Lee's research areas span health risk prediction, early
disease diagnosis and detection, optimal treatment strategies and drug
delivery, healthcare outcome analysis and treatment prediction, public health
and medical preparedness, large-scale healthcare/medical decision analysis,
quality improvement, logistics operations management, health information
technology, effective use of electronic medical records, and health
organization transformation. Outside healthcare, Lee works with industrial
practitioners to improve efficiency and quality of services through process
and systems optimization, portfolio investment analysis, and organization
transformation. |
