Is there still a mayo clinic conference on systems engineering in healthcare?

I found a reference to the "3rd Annual Mayo Clinic Conference on Systems Engineering & Operations Research in Health Care." Is this still happening?

That specific announcement is likely historical—the 3rd edition has passed. But the field is very much alive. Major medical centers and engineering societies (INFORMS, IISE, IEEE) regularly host conferences on applying engineering principles to healthcare delivery. Topics include patient flow, scheduling, resource allocation, and safety. To find current events, search "healthcare systems engineering conference 2024" or check the websites of organizations like the Mayo Clinic's Kern Center or the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement Conference. The conference name may change; the conversation continues.
