What was the 3rd mayo clinic systems engineering conference about?
I keep seeing references to the "3rd Mayo Clinic Conference on Systems Engineering in Healthcare." What was the actual theme?

That conference focused on applying systems engineering, operations research, and industrial engineering principles to healthcare delivery. Core topics included: improving patient flow through emergency departments and operating rooms, optimizing scheduling (staff, surgeries, appointments), better resource allocation (beds, ventilators, staff), and enhancing system efficiency and safety. It wasn't about abstract theory it was about making hospitals work better, using the tools of engineering to solve the messy, human problems of care delivery. The 3rd edition is history, but the problems remain urgent.
