  2. Healthcare: Why an Engineering Systems Approach? • The healthcare system is inherently multi- and trans-disciplinary: combining biology, medicine, chemistry, imaging, sociology, psychology, government, economics, information technology, enterprise processes, business, … too many to enumerate! • Only Engineering Systems’ inclusive and trans-disciplinary analyses and syntheses can be effective in understanding and characterizing a pervasive system with this level of complexity—including extremely complex interdimensional coupling. • Let’s model a simple healthcare system…

  11. What is Needed to Build a Credible Solution for the Real Complexity? • New analysis methods combining knowledge from current engineering methods, social network analyses, graph theory, plus additional innovations. • Quantitative understanding of all the linkages among system elements—for a real system like this, developing these understandings requires a major set of research-based initiatives. • The developing field of engineering systems promises to create the transformational methods needed to build credible models and solve challenges with this level of complexity.
